The ballots actually randomize the candidates for each new IP. Or, at least, I think they do because Gertie was close to the bottom of my ballot.

Elizabeth Bauman :)

What do you consider your strong point(s) as a judge? Weak point(s)? Strong points: I straight up love RPGs of all textures, flavors, and sizes. Moreover, I work very well with almost every candidate on the list - I know many of the very well and would feel blessed to sit on a panel with any...

Edmund Burke :)

I'm just... shocked. I opened up my CNN early this afternoon and... just... wow. She was so young... and her daughter is just 5 months old. :(

RE: A Rockin' Moment at My Game Table My current D&D character, Zara "Desert Rose" Rainkeeper, is a fearsome pirate! Yar! Recently, our party escaped a burning island, possessed by the powers of an ancient, once-dead god and boarded my ship (The Retribution). However, just getting off of the...

I've been happy with essentially all of the past winners. No, sir.

I've got to say, my most memorable gaming purchase is my first set of dice. Before my senior year of high school, I had always borrowed dice, but my boyfriend (now husband) drove me 60 miles to the nearest game store in Sioux Falls, SD... the store was small (and is now closed), but they had a...

*snickers* Edmund Burke. We've got another philosopher!

Do you think that the ENnies should have a codified set of rules for how they should be run, including a specific list of points that the judges should use for each category? The ENnies, in my experience, are constantly evolving. Each year, things are changed and adapted to fit with industry...

I have been gaming since the mid-late 90s. So, not long at all, but - then - I'm young (23). And, sure, that affects the perspective that I'll bring to the judging table... but everyone's individual experiences affect every individual's perspective. My gaming experiences have been different...

As for Wizards not participating in the ENnies: I think that it does give smaller companies a chance to shine and, in that light, it's a good thing. That said, I think I would prefer that all RPG companies participate because, when they produce ENnie-worth products, they ought to be awarded.

The past year has been pretty d20-centric. I've played in the following games/systems/settings: D&D d20 Modern d20 Past Mutants and Masterminds (1st and 2nd editions) Warhammer RPG Spycraft 2.0 Grim Tales Iron Kingdoms d6 Star Wars

Software, like all gaming tools, is a matter of personal preference. For example, I use an inititive tracker, some people don't. In my world, Dundjinni is used regularly (though not by me, by my GM). I'm also totally lost without Simpson's Character sheet thinger when making a character for...

Mechanics and concepts go hand-in-hand in my opinion. The concept that drives the mechanics ought to work together to create an overall *feel* that permeates the product. If the concepts and the mechanics don't jive, there is a disconnect that highlights a flaw in the product. Errors in...

That's an interesting question that I had not really thought about in the past... it's really not something I would think of as a factor when judging the quality of a product. Though, price does do one of two things: it enables or inhibits. That is, a low price allows many people to have...

I just can't figure out why Kara would leave Lee and marry Sam... I mean, Kara's a complicated girl with a WHOLE LOTTA issues, but... after screaming to the sky that they are in love... why would she go?

Indeed - I wanted to update, but have been having trouble getting ahold of people that can give me actual information. I'm getting a lot of "we'll have to call you back about that..." and then never getting a call back... and so I call again a week later and get the same routine. :(

The problem is space. The attendance at a gameday in the DC area will be significant - much more than a private home can handle (I'm estimating between 35 and 50 - maybe more). I've been in contact with the DC Convention center in attempts to get a small-ish room there (which would hold up to...

I'm actively working on finding a place that will host for a reasonable amount of money that is accessible to a significant amount of people. :) As soon as I have more info, I will let y'all know - I promise! ((I should have a more substantial update tomorrow, actually!))
