Not precisely. Please see the other thread.

Steve. First, let me say that I appreciate you taking the time to thoughtfully respond. My concern is much less about fan vs. professional publishing at this point. The Ennies are not the Oscars and Russ can make those decisions for himself. My problem with the publisher in question at this...

Edit: my mistake, guys. Apologies to all.

Edit: Turned out to be a miscommunication. I overreacted. Apologies to all.

I'm glad you feel you've proved a point. Awards are about ego strokes to some degree, so why not message board posts? I have no point to prove, no ax to grind, merely coin to spend elsewhere. Again, you helped me come to that decision, whether it was your intended purpose or not does not change...

Now that I've seen which publishers directly benefited from the removal, and which publishers commented, I've been able to make an informed decision. Thank you for the assist.

Don - While I do believe the product was/should have been ineligible due to its unlicensed nature, I do also believe it was the superior product in the two categories for which it had been nominated. It says the world about the quality of your work that some publishers were concerned about...

Cool. Glad that's clarified. I apologize for the overreaction.

Which publishers? I have the right to reconsider my spending habits.

Edit: Found it. You, sir, win.

Steve, I get it -- you disagree with me. The converse of that is I disagree with you. I *do* see it as him making a quality judgement about amateur products. If that's not what he meant, he is free to clarify and choose his words more carefully in the future. Or not. I believe strongly in the...

Keeping this point separate, but I disagree. Amateur publications should be, and are, eligible. I dare say that most podcasts are not by "industry" publishers, but serve the same niche that Alarums & Excursions did many years ago.

Note that my objection to his objection is also twofold. His use of "legitimate" rather than "professional" is a statement of quality. His use of "gives the finger" also implies something objectively superior about professional products. In the case of the free product category, that is not...

While I question the inclusion of the Mass Effect RPG if the author does not have EA's permission (do we know if that's the case?), I sincerely hope you are not a publisher after that rude, offensive comment about fan publishing. If so, you just gave a bigger finger to fans. I honestly believe...

Lots of love for The Strange! (Gee, that sounded way better in my head.)

I can't vote, because I love the cover's content, but those colors... I feel like it's some sort of test for color blindness, but I'm not sure if I tested positive or not.

As I mentioned above, he's been doing this since the early 80s, a tad bit more than merely 15 years. ;) From the horse's mouth: http://boingboing.net/2014/12/19/a-conversation-with-wil-wheato.html

Yeah, Wheaton has been playing D&D for about as long as I have (early 80s). He was one of the first celebrities I ever saw mention it in an interview in the '90s. Though he seems to like all types of games (a trait I don't share), he has expressed considerable knowledge of Savage Worlds and...

The system's okay, it just wouldn't have been my choice. I'm actually grabbed by the way they were playing. It was comedic, which is something I was worried wouldn't be the case. With Blue Rose being the other launch setting for the system, I thought the tone might be in line with that. I agree...

I, for one, was pretty happy with the video. Even though I'm not a fan of Green Ronin, and not really sold on AGE, Wil and company did a good job of explaining the system and playing to its strengths. I think GR has a real winner as far as instructional videos go. I now wish Titansgrave was...
