Of course. I've been working as a staff member for the ENnies for the past year, and I'd like to become more involved; as a judge. No. Statements by people effect my opinions of people, not products.

I think it can. In fact, I said something to that effect in an answer to question 15. Of course the judges evaluate products with the same points. That's why before they start judging, they create a list of criteria to evaluate by. Well first off, what do you define as a main category...

The closest I've ever come is working WotC Retail for 3 years. At one point, our store was pegged to try to develop a new RPG league (not the RPGA) to encourage people to play RPGs inside the store under controlled circumstances. I was put in charge of the project, but it took too much space...

Both. I think that the ENnies should establish a codified set of rules for judging categories, but I think those rules should be subject to review each year by the new judge panel. That way, we have a list of criteria to give to publishers so that they know how they will be judged. But since...

I first started gaming in '00, right after the release of 3.0. Experience-wise, that means that I didn't get a chance to game some of the older systems when they were new. (That doesn't mean I havn't tried them). It does mean that I have fewer years of gaming to bring to the table. This can...

I'll re-post what I posted over there. It makes me feel like they're afraid they wouldn't sweep. (and they're probably right). Ever since Hasbro took over WotC, they've tried to make themselve 'the' RPG company to the exclusion of all others. Well before the stores closed, they took all non...

Especially if the following pick-up game is an alcohol LARP? ;)

I'm serious when I say it has to do with the area in which I live. I can't even walk into my local Borders without bumping into a new area gaming group. And this area is really fortunate to be infused with a large number of high quality local gaming stores. My nerditude insists that I game at...

I don't know how it works at the Omni, but at the Embassy, you can just ask them for up to 6 room keys per room, and they won't ask questions. In fact, I think that last year, 2 different people from our room ended up getting 6 room keys each. I really like staying at the Embassy. It's a...

My current group is pretty D20-centric so most of the long term campaigns I've played in have been D20. I'm currently in two D&D 3.5 campaigns, a 3.5 PbP, a Wheel of Time campaign, and a D20 Revised Star Wars campaign. But in the past year, I've played Exalted, Hunter, Serenity, D20...

I'm very sorry to hear this, Eric. I'll be praying for you and your family.

I love software. In particular, I'm an avid user of map-making software. Aside from that, I tend to use other gaming software more in a PbP environment than I do in P&P games. Online dice-rollers and character record software makes gaming in a PbP much easier and efficient. It also really...

It depends. When evaluating a product for personal purchase, I'll certainly look at the price and weigh it against the overall quality of the product and the use I think I'll get out of it. However, when evaluating a product for an award such as the ENnies, price becomes an issue to me only if...

I've just started up in a new D20 Star Wars campaign, and couldn't find a character sheet that didn't "waste" too much space with force-centric powers and skills. So I made my own. It's an Excel form-fillable, but it's my first attempt at some of the formulas, so I'd appreciate any advice that...

IIRC, each item slot has a type of enhancement that it is designed for. You can make items for slots with a different type, but I think it knocks the price up either by 1.5 or 2 times base.

Thanks

Is it possible to do? Could you make an extended Wand of Fireball or a maximized potion of Cure Moderate? If so, I think it's fairly obvious that the cost of the item would be that of its adjusted spell level. But what if a 10th level Radiant Servant of Pelora made a wand of cure? Would it...

When your group gets treasure, how do you keep track of it? Do you split everything immediately, or does one person keep track of the "group treasure" until you decide to do something with it? What sorts of tools do you use to keep track of items/gold/treasure? Our group currently keeps all...

So we all know that magic item creation takes 1 day per 1000gp in the base price. But in that, how many hours of the day are you actually devoting to crafting? Is it possible do a day's worth of crafting and still get other things done, or does crafting imply 16 hours of work (with the 8 hours...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/107627200 Amazon.com tells me its scheduled release date is March 13. The idea of this is intriguing to me, but I have a feeling it's going to be as incomplete as the Spell Compendium. Things I'd like to see include: - I know they're not...
