Considering how few RPG books probably totally sell out, the real cost is shipping (or zero, if you hand them off at GenCon).

You've got to have The Stewardess! I'd suggest rethinking Act II to be a little less linear. One of the joys of Dread is watching how the interaction of the players and the characters-as-written changes the direction of the story. Stick to the narrow-wide-narrow approach; it works especially...

True, but the emphasis on teamwork and overcoming obstacles (as opposed to killing things and taking their stuff) might make for a good introduction to gaming for younger players (as opposed to small children). And the conflict system is pretty easy, especially if you use index cards or...

Ran my Dread MIA scenario another two times at GenCon, and had two different outcomes. Group 1 shot first and didn't bother to ask questions later, and ended up unknowingly ganking the good guys (although they did succeed at the mission). Group 2 was a little more cautious, and managed to...

I've bought three or more things based on ENnies nominations each year. I even bought a couple things this year (a PDF of SoIaF for game prep, copies of Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies for friends that expressed an interest, more Alea Tools discs) that I got as submissions. Hearing that designers...

I suspect there might have been a substantial # of people who, upon hearing the possibility of a shortage, pre-ordered their copies rather than risk the chance of not getting one at GenCon and then missing out at their FLGS. I know I did (although I cancelled the pre-order when I did get a copy...

Dread absolutely blew me away the first time I played it. I was a skeptic when I heard the concept, and am now a total and absolute fanboy. Most recently, the GR Song of Ice and Fire system got the creative juices flowing in a way few systems have in quite a while.

Glad you all enjoyed it -- I had a lot of fun, and it's an extra kick to introduce people to a game you really like and have them like it too.

Played in Piratecat's Skullduggery game and loved it; it may be my new go-to gameday system (though I still love running Dread). Ran Mouse Guard, Dread, and Song of Ice and Fire for some people that had never played them, which was a treat, and introduced the BSG boardgame to the crew, too.

Cool. Got the PDF, but I prefer print. Well, really, I prefer both :p

The previous results are arranged by year at the ENnies website.

I'm going to find the eats at GenCon especially depressing this year, since the food at Origins is top-notch. One trick -- there is a Subway on the block behind the Westin (further from the convention center) that seems to largely escape notice. I've rarely seen it crowded.

Ditto.

If you could grab Hypersmurf and bring him back to the States, we'd appreciate it. It can't be too hard to track him down; New Zealand's not that big, is it?

Ditto.

Ascendence and Nev the Deranged, could you please email me at jckline at gmail dot com, and list you character preferences in order. I'll send the questionaires out ASAP.

*cough*

I'd like in on JC's HEx game, and PKB's KAMB. I'm assuming they are in different slots....

*dupe*

So you've totally given up on the nemesis thing, haven't you? Besides, you won't miss him, you'll have me.
