Lorraine Williams

A bitch who thought she was better than us. Responsible for destroying TSR Games.

Fucking whore.

When she dies, all of /tg/ shall verily spit and piss on her grave; in fact, even her family will join in on the desecration of her remains, because she is a huge bitch (bluh bluh!)

Beautiful God fearing Christian!

What was the damage?

• Lorraine went on to sue Gygax and publishers who tried to print Gygax's new role-playing stuff, making sure that Gary's career would be stopped at every turn.
• She removed any references to "Christian-hostile" ideas in sourcebooks (renaming devils to Baatezu among other things).
• D&D, the flagship product, had to be remade, thus was born 2nd Edition ... the most forgettable version of Dungeons & Dragons that could still be called D&D.
• She forbade TSR employees from playing games on company time. What the fucking fuck.
• She railroaded Buck Rogers stuff through TSR because her fortune was based on inheriting the license from her grandpaw.
• She saw the money that Wizard's was making for Magic: The Gathering and said TSR had to get a piece of that pie, so she pushed out a forgettable collectible card game and the Dragon Dice products... and made far more than the distributors could sell, causing millions of dollars in returns from distributors.
• Under her watch, TSR increased their novel publishing tenfold... which also undersold in record numbers and cost money to be sent back.
• In 1996, eleven years after she took over, she sold TSR to Wizards of the Coast.

Jesus wept.
