Title: Diversity & Dragons Got the Cynthia Williams Resignation Wrong

So Double-D 's Livestream apologia of �#wotc� (ex)CEO Cynthia Williams' is just wrong.
She got nothing done, ran �#dnd� into the ground, failed all her own objectives, but will now probably get a bigger DEI position in spite of it. �#ttrpg� �#dnd5e� �#OSR�

Cynthia Williams failed her promises and plans. Neither of which were going to be particularly great for the hobby, because on top of not really standing up to the woke, and aiming to illegally retro-remove the OGL, trying at switching things to digital D&D with microtransactions is... shitty.

 But yeah, pretty much a failure even from the perspective of the sketchy corporate master plan as well.

Also, none of the midwits in the C-Suite lost their jobs. Shit, even Williams is getting her golden parachute after torching WotC. Hasbro deserves whatever terrible fate (may) befall it in the future.

Clearly the take away message is that the third time's the charm for a woman named Williams to head the company in charge of D&D!

On the bright side at least this one did not hand off a section of the D&D IP to her nephew in perpetuity.
