Change in the RPGA Network

For your information:

>If you've received this, then I am no longer an employee of TSR. The company
>has decided to let Jeff and I go, along with a separate Polyhedron Newszine.
>Robert will stay, along with the tournament program and the point system, but
>the rest of the program looks unsupported. Dragon magazine will contain RPGA
>information in print, and I expect that memberships will convert to
>subscriptions in some way.
>
>Robert and I are working on a proposal to ask TSR to allow us to take the
>Network out-of-house, and continue operations.
>
>Please assist Robert through this difficult time, and be as supportive and
>helpful as possible.
>
>The last two years have been the most exciting of my life. I appreciate all
>the energy and imagination that you as network members have brought to the
>organization. Thank you for the love you've put into it, and the friendship
>you've shown me.
>
>Don't let the mission die.

>Scott Douglas

>>From Robert:
>I do not know anything about how the Network is changing as a result of this
>incident, so please do not call TSR and ask me questions. I cannot answer
>them, because I don't know. I will keep you informed as I learn things.
>Please have faith and patience. I would be happy to hear from you by e-mail.
>
>There are system-wide cuts in personnel across TSR; the Network is not the
>only sufferer. I cannot divulge who, but you can probably get the scoop in a
>Newsgroup soon.
>
>Christmas is about the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is more
>important than anything. So don't let what is happening get you down. And
>pray for me, if you have the inclination. I am not taking this as well as I
>could be.
