If that's the case then I wish it had been more clearly stated. I entered and promoted the voting where I could with the understanding that the ENnies were striving to be an industry wide award for the best in roleplaying gaming. I think I feel that, if you don't have the best products...

I'd recommend calling attention to how long that takes, especially when searching an area. Most areas that have traps also have guards, monsters, and other things to cause the PCs problems. Keep in mind as well that traps in dungeons are often used tactically by the denizens. There's no...

Oh come on, I even had a suit on! :)

That's cool :)

I can see that. I see the judges role as less about representing the interests of the fans and more about objectively screening products for the fans to vote on.

I think that, and many other questions, are fine concerns if you're voting for a pleasant leader of the people. I think it's meaningless when it comes to capacity to evaluate products.

PC v. PC. I think the vast majority of balance problems are actually problems related to the spotlight. If two characters are notably unequal, but both receive the same screen time and overcome interesting challenges, then it's likely neither player will have a problem. In D&D many challenges...

For strange 'races' and magical creatures I just assume a transmuter was performing experiments at some point in the past and the strange 'race' is the result of those experiments.

I disagree with the poll in that I don't find a complete lack of railroading to ever lead to disaster. I throw out a bunch of plot hooks and we see where that goes, it always leads somewhere interesting.

It's not particularly old school, but everything contained in the Planescape boxed set was pure gold for me.

Sorry, but I'll pass. There are at least 100 questions already in those four threads for anyone next year to pick out.

There used to be drinking at my games, but even mild to moderate drinking tended to result in the game devolving into silliness. While that's fun, it doesn't satisfy me.

That's very cool of you :) I find your ideas to be well thought out and am confident that, with so many good ideas floating around here, the process will get better every year.

Yep. There had been a suggestion that they may be posted early (yesterday evening).

That's a really interesting point, I hadn't realized that. Thanks! :)

I spent Sunday and Monday obsessively reloading pages for that very reason :(

I agree, it's a very cool spell. I like your idea of a villain who uses it to switch forms after being defeated, I'll have to swipe that one for a later game :)

I wouldn't, as I really don't care for gaming at tables at all any more. A battle mat on the coffee table is as close as I'll come to leaving my casual living room setup.

I agree. I just don't think most folk are willing to read more than, say, 3 or 4 paragraphs per candidate. Same problem applies to lengthy Q&A and other problems. I really think the bios were more likely to sway the average person (wish I had realized that when I wrote my bio). True. I...

I really like that idea, conceptually, but I'm already uncertain that more than a handful of people even read the Q&A. Who would read 19 reviews, even if they're a page or less?
