Seconded! My feelings exactly. :)

As reported on Gaming Report: I know quite a few people involved in running these auctions, so I'd just like to say a big congratulations to all of them. You're stars guys, and it's great to see it recognised.

My apologies. I did read it, but then as I carried on reading through the thread proceeded to completely forget about it. I then re-noticed it just now as I was scrolling down, realised it was *before* my post, and thought: "Oh s**t!" Anyway, I'll cease discussion as requested.

I'm curious. I was always taught that good writing involves using the fewest words possible. If I could describe something in 100 words, but there's another way I could describe it in 50 words that describes it just as well, then I should pick the 50 word option. So we writers spend our...

Any chance of going metric while we're at it? 2 metre hexes anyone? :)

Not going to GenCon. Bit far from this side of the pond. And in my defence, I have bunged a fair bit of cash to Irish gaming charity auctions in my time. (Should also point out that about 250 of that was from Evil G).

What you're supposed to do (apparently) is hang around looking clueless as though you can't figure out how to operate the machines. Then some nice young girl who's arrived to do her washing will show you how to do it. You'll explain that you've just moved into a new flat, washing machine not yet...

Nooooooooo! If people from the main discussion forum read that you will unleash a blizzard of 4E threads the like of which we have never before seen! [Runs for cover] Damn good point though. :)

Check! Check! Ah. Bugger.

Interestingly enough, the provisional results of an independent* survey** conducted by the website www.criticalmissforums.com is agreeing with you, with www.criticalmiss.com currently in first place. http://criticalmissforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=373 And if you ignore all logic that's pretty...

The publishers of A|State, Contested Ground Studios (who are friends of mine, as it happens), used them, and suffered as a result. They're okay and all, but I don't think they were particularly chuffed about what happened.

Who did and who didn't participate? I know Mongoose didn't (and I'm aware that people have "varying" opinions on Mongoose products, but I've heard very good things - for example - about stuff like The Drow War campaign).

Thank you! I'd say I'm very proud; except that I'm not sure one should be proud of roleplaying that bad. :)

Thank you. That's very cool to hear. I've always said that I'd rather have a magazine that 50% hated and 50% loved than one that 100% thought was okay. :) And I must again stress that: a) I do appreciate that "honourable mention" (a.k.a. "sixth place") is better than not being nominated at...

LOL :)

Yeah, maybe. :) Still sounds like something you tell the fat kid at sportsday: Kid, ya didn't win the race, but you made us all laugh, and that's something too! :) I think also, it seems a much lesser honour, because: a) well, it is; and b) you can't easily use it as a tag line to your...

I have to confess that I did rather assume that there probably weren't much more than six entries, so the Honourable Mention was less an "almost made it" and more a "and there was one other applicant". Anyhow, although I'm not sure it's exactly something I can brag about (I really liked the...

I think you're find that's an unproductive attitude to take. The judges have a hard decision to make and the one they end up making is the one they end up making. I was terribly disappointed that my fanzine Critical Miss didn't get nominated for the best fan site award, but I didn't come onto...

This is the Internet. Real-world logic/morality/reality no longer applies. :)

Unfortunately, that's not the way the English language works. Unlike some other languages - such as French, where you have an academy of experts who decide what each word means and invent new words as required - the meaning of words in English is decided by usage. i.e. If people use a word to...
