The U.S. market for Pokemon cooled and Europe didn't take off, so Wizards has been downsizing. This impacts the RPGA, because branch manager Tom Ko's position was eliminated, European branch manager Ann Vam Dam was reassigned, and the rest of the staff were reorganized. This comes on top of the Network tripling in size, activity doubling, the launch of Living Greyhawk and Living Force campaigns, an increase in size of Polyhedron, and the addition of the Living Greyhawk Journal to the roster. So emails have been ignored, and the Living Raven's Bluff campaign has run into complications. But they're moving toward online score reporting and an ecommerce site, have reduced the cost of membership to $5, are going to fold the Living Greyhawk Journal into Dragon, are going to combine Polyhedron and Dragon as of December, and are looking into cross-product integration. Living City -- Raven's Bluff has been licensed to Ryan Dancey's Organized Play.
