I can give you what the conscious inspirations were, assuming I won't just forget something (it was a lot of years ago now). There were things that the initial design specifically and intentionally took from Gamma World, as someone has already mentioned, as well as the Player's Options (mostly...

I'm going to be a guest at Gamefest Richmond this weekend (Sept 17-19). I'm going to be running a D&D game (seats for which will be auctioned for charity), playing in at least one other game, and hosting a few panels. In particular, I'm having a panel on Friday night where the sky's the limit...

Yeah, these creatures are ripe for a D&D game. I particularly like the aspect to them that makes them both terrifying and sadly pathetic at the same time. It's interesting to have a monster that you feel kinda sorry for, even as you kill it.

Yeah, but they seemed to be able to exist in mutiple dimensions at once (in ways that aren't--thank goodness--fully explained), giving them amazing speed and reaction and making it really tough to hurt them. They're a flying, much tougher, much faster, much smarter bodak, and the save DC is...

Here's basically what I just posted on my own boards: Hey guys. Well, I love ICv2, but they got some incorrect info, and I want you guys to hear about the real scoop (this announcement, as you can imagine, was supposed to be made on our site, and it was supposed to come about a month from...

Nine, as it turns out. But it's still not the same 1:1, as there were 25 non-public categories. Yes, I remember your posts. But the ENnies has a public vote. And that's a good thing.

Well, kinda. But not exactly. Instead of judges, the OA had anyone in the industry who cared enough to pay 30 bucks vote for all the categories, and then a couple of categories (3, I think) were voted on by the public. It is true, though, that my idea was probably at least inspired by what I...

For what it's worth, here's how I think the awards could best be handled, assuming cost and other considerations are not insurmountable obstacles: Keep the judges (and the product submissions, and so forth) as they are now, and keep the public voting too. But make them separate, with seperate...

It's ridiculous to think that anyone but the publishers should cover the costs of submitting and shipping the products that need to be shipped. To think that Morrus should cover any more than a very small portion of incidental costs (it does increase publicity for ENWorld) just doesn't make any...

For what it's worth, that piece was written quite a while ago. As far as WotC people are concerned, there has been some significant turnover of employees. I've no idea if the situation has changed or not, but I've no reason to doubt that it has. Also keep in mind the "people working on D&D...

If I was a judge, I don't think I'd want a list of what I voted for made public. The only way that would work, I would think, is if there was a lot more judge turnover from year to year. Otherwise, Publisher X would see Judge Y and Judge Z on the staff one year and not even bother submitting...

Orcus "died" in Planes of Chaos, back in the days when demons and names like Orcus were forbidden to designers (he wasn't actually "named" when his death was described, but we all knew who the author meant). I don't know exactly the thought process that went into having him die, but a part of me...

For what it's worth, I really like this product and recommend it. It has a lot of neat stuff in it.

For what it's worth, assuming that the changes made (or not made) to the ENnies resulting from this discussion present an awards that we want to be a part of, Malhavoc Press would be willing to pay a small entry fee in order to help defer what I assume must be considerable costs.

We have no plans for a Book of Hallowed Might III or a Complete Book of Hallowed Might at this time. While we'd never say never to either one, considering that we have things planned out, at least tentatively, through the end of 2006, you can judge accordingly. And as VA said, the most...

I've never read anything from GW about the kroot, but when I see them I think about the not-really-all-that-human-anymore Hyperborians, sort of as portrayed in the recent Conan comic from Dark Horse. Aloof, mystical and so forth (I know there are lots of kind of bestial kroot figs, but I'm drawn...

Best moment of GenCon? It may sound a little corny, but it's true: the best moment for me was each and every time someone came up to me to shake my hand, introduce themselves and tell me about the fun they had with one of my products or something like that. It means the world to me that people...

I think they sold them out by Sunday, but yeah, their Battlebox is my "pick" of GenCon this year. I'll be writing about it on my site tomorrow.

Amen. Although no one's ever accused me (or Mike) at working at a normal pace.
