    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    sett, I totally take your concerns seriously because that's how we get better. No one see the same from the inside looking out as the outside looking in. I think the very fact that these conversations were going on shows that the personnel of the ENnies take complaints very seriously...

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    From what I've seen during my time associated with the ENnies every year a judges' choice award or two is considered, then thrown out. I think the general idea is that the nomination serves as the judges' choice, and there may be a general fear that going any further might give the idea that...

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    Well, as long as they're objective and not biased...

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    Also, in the interests of total disclosure, I should point out that I am now, officially, Zach's replacement. I don't do it out of some sense of accomplishment, because really, who wants to be the guy that got in because someone else stepped aside? I do think it's important however to be...

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    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...

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    Agreed. It's not really "ok", but so long as it's used as a learning experience it's "reasonable." Everyone has made a mistake, and some times it's just too late to take it back.

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    I actually agree with you. Maybe we should discuss this more (by "we" I'm referring to the general populous). I think the problem here is really not so much though that the ENnies staff hasn't responded, but that Zach hasn't. I think they've made an effort, but I'd really like to see what...

    Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge

    I agree. By the time elections are held we're already 3 months into the judging year. I know that I, during my term, already owned several of the books that were turned into me, and was really glad to see them submitted because I liked them so much, but I'd be curious to go back over them and...

    A new podcast idea (Forked Thread: 2008/8/28 Tabletop RPG Podcasts)

    Yeah, I guess I didn't do a good job of clarifying that at all. I agree that there's no danger of suit, and perhaps "theft" was a bad word, but that whole conversation in general wasn't particularly useful. I think we learned a lot from that first episode, especially in editing, and hopefully...

    A new podcast idea (Forked Thread: 2008/8/28 Tabletop RPG Podcasts)

    So, I've begun work on a new project, and I'm curious about what others think of the idea. For a while now I've been helping a friend of mine build settings by guiding him through the process of putting together his adventures into cohesive campaigns, and it occurred to us that it might be a...

    2009 ENnies Judge Selection

    For anyone who is interested in throwing a vote my way my name is Jeramy Ware.

The voting booth can be found...

    2009 ENnies Judge Selection

    Doh, can't believe I forgot to do this here. Having been a gamer for 25 years, I have run numerous campaigns using a great many different systems. I have extensive experience as both a Game Master and a player, and though I have never been a part of the industry, I have been a member of the...

    2009 ENnies Judge Selection

    I'm running again this year. My term last year was the most rewarding thing I've ever done as a part of the RPG community.

    Why the merger of two categories?

    Maybe I shouldn't point out that the whole ENnies/podcasting thing is at least partially my fault, but here goes: So, I wasn't a judge this year, but last year, when I was, I asked that a category be created for podcasts. I had just discovered them, quickly became a fan, and really wanted to...

    2008 ENnie Awards Nominees Announced!

    So, did you have to take any time off from work for that last minute rush this year, or did you pound your head against a wall until all the game rules fell out so you could start fresh? :) Congrats to the nominees and judges. It's a tough field and a hard job.

    Anyone else have packaging problems with the new minis?

    So, I'm pretty bummed right now. I ordered a case of Against the Giants minis, but they're not being shipped until next week, so I went out today and grabbed a couple boxes from the FLGS. All in all the minis are pretty nice. I don't play the minis game, but I like a little bit of random...
