Sounds like they might have some new products coming out or an updated product and maybe it's something like the Pepsi challenge and want to get your feedback, the good, the bad, etc...

I think I'd be thrilled to get that email. What's the concern? It's not like WotC is some shady company.

I think the first question is...is this legit?
And if it is. Can I be your friend? (even though I don't give a rats ass about Magic) Last edited by Coffee Warlord : 11-09-2012 at 01:22 PM. |

Think about your post about your health and everything. It reverberated around a bit here and postings through FB.
I wouldn't doubt if someone caught on to it and they would love to meet you

do you blog about magic and such, Abe? Are you big in the magic community? If so then it's most likely a PR move so you can do their advert work for them. I've been told they do so with bigtime D&D bloggers.

To be fair, I'm no even close to the one they would choose to give their company good pub. There are at least 100 writers who are more read, more well known, and writer better than I do who would be good choices. Magic writing has tons of sites out there. I wouldn't make a top 50 list with my small audience.

Heading to the airport in a few minutes, and then there will be no more Abe on here for a few days.
