This is a story about retaliation, & repeating patterns of behavior.
Patterns of behavior that parallel, yet pre-date Jamison.
I hope it helps others avoid this kind of creative predation.
My story is both shorter and much longer than most folks who’ve spoken up. /1

To feel safe enough now that several people have come forward to tell similar stories /61

Why?
Because the events and my interaction with Satine and Ruty were only a couple months, but the retaliation effort, for telling the truth, is ongoing and has lasted years.
I believe it’s cost me friends, work opportunities, people I wish I could’ve gotten to know /2

The pattern is similar to the ones that have already come to light. There’s one difference.

So that X had all the info, I send WoTC, an accounting list of all we’ve worked on and let them know it’s published as if that new book’s actually happening.

I spoke up and it got her in trouble. So, it seems, she spent a serious effort to color me in a bad light.

when all I ever wanted was honesty, teamwork, & the truth.

Few years ago, gaming exec pal told me they’d taken Satine to lunch to tell her to stop bad mouthing me /58

495
And here’s the truly stupid part of all of this, Satine & I would’ve been a good marketing team together if she hadn’t felt the need to be shady & vindictive. Ruty was a good writing partner. There was no need for any of their backstabby chicanery, then actively bad mouth me. /55

She blusters about their brand & the book, & how they’re working with WoTC.
So, after hearing the excuses & letting that go one a bit,
I drop the name.
I tell them I spoke to X, & he assured me all writers get credit.
I’ve dropped a bomb. Satine didn’t know I knew X. /28

I asked if he’d add my name with his for credit.

They hem & haw & don’t answer. It’s just a pic he created that’s nowhere. He was pretending. The oddest part of that is, he got teary eyed & asked Satine permission to speak to me. Permission to speak? (Just what? At a business meeting?) /27

At the Event:
I make sure everyone has props, stays hydrated, has breaks, gets to their areas, gets meals, etc.
Satine is cold, dramatic, & goes so far as to *ask Live on air*, to not speak to me, the NPC clue giver, in the game. Director gently handles her drama.

(I didn’t get it at the time. I was dumb.)
Jan 18th, 2017 I contacted X at WoTC to ask if writers get credit and how that goes, and ask about licensing etc. for the work already done with Ruty, & did they know this was happening, & if they didn’t know, is it okay, or /23

All our writing, all 7 houses etc, are suddenly gone from the Maze Arcana web presence.
