In fact, Chancey got his dream job!!! He’s going to be a game designer for Wizards of the Coast! They flew him to Seattle on May 28 for an interview, along with three other prospects. Tonight they called him and offered him the job.
I still can’t believe he’ll be getting paid to do stuff like that. When he was 10 or so he would spend every weekend in a place called Heroes, full of kids playing card games like Magic, or Dungeons and Dragons. He even designed several dozen cards of his own, making up new rules and other stuff I don’t pretend to understand. (He took a portfolio of those cards to the interview.)
Now he’s going to work for the company that makes those games.
It’s also a great company to work for, apparently. It’s a division of Hasbro, which Money magazine ranks in the top 100 best places to work in the country.
My only regret is that it’s on the left coast—a long way off, both geographically and politically.
Please keep him in your prayers. He will have to face challenges even a Wizard of the Coast can’t imagine!
