i know that i'd have been annoyed to see a product called maelstrom that had nothing to do with one of the coolest features of Dragonlance =)

god, i LOVED search for the lost city of gold. but not as much as i loved Thundercats =)

i don't have 'sour grapes' as it were. I've never tried to be a judge, and this year i'm planning on being in Japan during gencon. I also really like the folks who were judges last year, so i don't really have an agenda outside of just keeping it fresh =)

I think that we should try to get some new blood on the judging panel this year. I really appreciate the work of the previous judges, but i think that the awards would benefit from at least a partially new perspective, you know? If judges become institutionalised then the awards will start...

Congrats, dude! i am, of course, insanely jealous, but such is the way of the world =) remember to scan it in and show it to all of us =)

well, there is a taladas trilogy in the works, with the first novel coming in april, by the excellent Chris Pierson. Jamie Chambers has said that they're gonna wait till the trilogy is done before working on any taladas game material, since they'd rather Chris set the tone first before going...

i *loved* playing fading suns. My eskatonik priest is probably my all time favorite PC =) what a great setting to be a cleric in =)

times like this i appreciate being a guy. i grow my hair out until it's too long, then shave it all off. i get my hair cut around three times a year as a result =) very convenient.

http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_4762.html the best review ever written. /edit- holy crap, pkitty, you have extras of Fashan? where and how did you manage that? those things are ridiculously hard to come by. certainly, i've never even seen one in person. //jealous

i think that having Spawn of Fashan, FATAL, and Synnabar in too close a proximity will open a black hole that leads straight to the heart of cthulu, and end the universe as we know it.

and while we're at it, what vance novels actually have 'vancian' magic? i want to read and see where it came from.

just saw Ong Bak today. Fan-freakin-tastic =) They say a muay thai fighter's weapon is his whole body. I believe it now =) And it was awesome to see that a bunch of his moves were named after story elements of the Hindu Ramayan =)

the question i have is if a modern person went back and remade D&D in their image, would it even have taken off as it did? Gygax's vision blew up massively because it was the right spark for the wargaming tinder they had sitting around. It carried enough of the gamer legacy of the time with...

all that notwithstanding, you have to admit that Beowulf in old english is just poetic in the extreme. I just love the way OE sounds. it just has a rolling brashness about it that feels good in your mouth. I mean, HWAET! What a cool word! Then again, i'm all for ressurecting OE words...

you know, i wish that they'd have the iranians speak in farsi at least a little, or actually name their cause instead of just saying "I believe in THE CAUSE" all the time. It knocks me out of my suspension of disbelief.

The coolest shirts at gencon this year were the Werewolf the forsaken ones. They were Bright orange and had WTF? on the front and the logo on the back. i really wanted one =)

Is old english really close enough to Icelandic that you can just read it straight? Here's one translation of the above passage, and while it seems like it has been fluffed up a bit, you were pretty dang close =) LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings of spear-armed Danes, in days long...

I'm incredibly torn by this product, fluff wise. On the one hand, i'm glad to finally see a game product specifically aimed at the shojou audience. On the other hand, i hate shojou literature and the genre as a whole. Mercedes Lackey, the prime inspiration, is probably my most strongly...

why would you read Beowulf in middle english? Why not just go straight to the Anglo-Saxon source? Now there's a fun time =) i mean, how can you go wrong with Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon...

XD Whoo! Thanks alot, Kai! I really appreciate the honor =) Good luck to all of us =)
