[QUOTE="Xath, post: 3328635, member: 17040"] I first started gaming in '00, right after the release of 3.0. Experience-wise, that means that I didn't get a chance to game some of the older systems when they were new. (That doesn't mean I havn't tried them). It does mean that I have fewer years of gaming to bring to the table. This can be both a good or a bad thing. For one, I might not be able to look at a product and say "Gah! This is a hack copy of blah-blah system published in '72! I can't believe they'd try to pass this off!". However, I also won't be able to say "Oh, this system reminds me of that old system, and I hated that old system so I hate this product too." I think having a wide range of experience levels on a judging panel is important to represent as many people of the gaming community as possible. I don't have a whole lot. For the last two years, I've been working to design a near-future Earth based campaign setting focusing on the development of superpowers in the human genome. Then Heroes came out. So...I've put it on the backburner for a while. Of course it effects my level of qualification as a judge. I represent the portion of the gaming community who has done little to no game design. Does it make me an inferior candidate? I don't think so. [/QUOTE]
