More than 30 days and nary a sign of Rob, and then, today the discovery of a series of WotC staff blogs by Moses, including one on the SWM GenCon seminar posted by Rob's Editor Jennifer Wilkes that suggests that she may have said too much about Force Push at the seminar in the continuation of some "glorious tradition."
She then makes a statement that at least "she hasn't been fired... yet."
Given the rest of all the veiled secrecy and mystery surrounding Rob's absence from the panel and his sudden cancellation as a WotC staff member to GenCon, does Jennifer know something the rest of us don't?
I am going to share something with all of you that maybe I shouldn't. Prior to GenCon, I PMed Rob and invited him to take part in our AT-AT event, just as he did the year before. A few weeks later, Rob replied, saying he'd been told he would be at GenCon and that he would try to make the event. Later, I was told that something came up and he couldn't make it.
Then, at the panel, the speakers were strangely vague about why Rob isn't there.
Perhaps it is just the investigative journalist in me, but as I have said all along I am not a stupid person and I trust my instincts. Rob may not be fired, but this whole thing just doesn't track in a way that carries a positive result. I think we all need to know that Rob is still working on this project.
