Hi, I just happened to stumble upon this thread. It's really great to know that there are people who still remember my work! Thank you!!! Feels great to see this. And yes, I do remember each of you who have posted here. All really nice folks! Thanks for your support. But I wanted to point out...

I'm shopping for a couple of good adventures and can't figure out what to get. I'm not looking for anything specific or anything that I plan to run, but just good stuff to read and get inspired. I liked The Vault of Larin Karr by Necromancer Games and so I was thinking about getting The Grey...

Were there legal reasons for making the D&D elves different from Tolkien elves or did you just want to be different? Can you talk more about the conceptualization of elves?

I know you have a list of books that inspired your work at the back of the 1st edition DMG, but if you were to recommend five books that MOST influenced you in the design of D&D, what would they be? Basically, I'm looking for a few good books to read that will help me get an understanding of...

She would say, "I can send you 1000 elves (or elven males or elven troops or something else in elvish)." You can't call a female baboon a baboon woman. But it all depends on if you view dwarves as a separate species or a separate race. Though they are called a "race" in D&D, their differences...

I didn't vote because I think my answer would be, "Yes and no." Dwarven females, in my opinion, would have a greater propensity to have beards or facial hair, but I think that it's not a given. There are a lot of women with facial hair to some degree or another among humans. Why shouldn't...

If it means increased sales and the profit margins are right, then why not? Sales for these individual books have almost slowed to a halt. If WoTC can get enough sales from a combined book to justify its production, I don't see any reason not to. I'd buy a book like that, though I'm not too...

I also wanted to say that I find it HIGHLY annoying that anytime someone complains about D&D, 3e, or WoTC, a bunch of people jump out and start flinging accusations of troll this and troll that. It seems very fascist and mob-like to me. Since when was it wrong to complain about something...

I don't know if 3e is killing imagination for DMs, but creating stat blocks now takes a lot of time away from developing plot lines and interesting characters, in my opinion. Sometimes, I wish I could just put the AC, hp, attack, and damage on some NPCs, but the rules necessitate full stat...

Anytime a single successful action is *required* to continue play in the adventure, the designer has failed.

Instead of just complaining, you should post your own ranger class so people can see what a ranger "done right" looks like...

Rounser, I've always enjoyed reading your posts. I'm surprised you didn't run for ENnie judge. I would have voted for you. ;) Anyhow, I don't see whole lot of modules out there that are worth buying. At the same time, because the module market is so small it doesn't encourage publishers to go...

Prices are going up and they pretty much have to, unfortunately. This is a niche market, especially when selling 5,000 copies is considered a success. Comparing the price of a New York Times Bestseller that sells hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies to that of an RPG book with a...

LOL, looks like I've caused a little confusion. My answer to your question was: "No, I am not unable to see the list." In other words, "Yes, I can see the list." But I don't see Simon Collins listed. So, he's not running? Sorry... Anyhow, I was not able to read the entire candidates thread, but...

Nope.

I don't think anybody answered my questions, so I'm going to go ahead and post them again. How many judges will there be (beside pre-selected ones)? When does voting end? Is Simon Collins listed here? Thanks. :)

I agree and actually many people seem to say that their products are not as good as those produced by some d20 companies. For example, their adventures are pretty weak as they don't put too much support (or at times, effort) into them. When do the companies have until to submit products for...

How many judges are there and when does voting end? I'd think it would just be easier to put all the reviewers on the judges' committee and then pick a token community member. After all, the reviewers know most of the products out there anyhow.

Is Simon Collins up here somewhere? I like his reviews a lot.

What are the races included in Savage Species?
