Totally off topic, but can I just say that if you ever want to feel good about yourself you should really get on fusangite's good side.

I don't know that I agree with your number 1, but I certainly support the idea behind it. I believe Morrus is right in that there needs to be a cut off, but maybe combing the the "fan products" categories isn't the best solution. Personally I'm a huge fan of podcasts and listen to several, and I think that, in reality the belong under Regalia if anything (other than their own category). Websites may as well.

The reasoning is simply that there are a lot of different types of podcasts, but very few are really judged on content. People listen to most (my belief) because they are entertaining. The fact that you learn something is, in a lot of cases, a pleasant side effect. The Sons of Kryos, as a random example, has really helped me to improve my game, but I'd say that 80% or more of the reason that I listen is that I really like those guys.

If others out there are like me, and I suspect they are, then that's Regalia. It adds to the enjoyment of our game without a direct impact on the rules or what have you.

So maybe the solution is to revisit the parenting system, but I don't really think that nominating a few products just because they were the only ones entered is a perfect solution.

That said, I really appreciate your points, and more importantly the way you made a convincing argument. Other than that one little thing, I'm sold.
