[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 3330452, member: 10079"] Now that I've thrown my hat into the ring again this year...time to catch up. :) 1. For me, price only factors when I'm buying a product. When it comes to actually evaluating it, though, it doesn't enter my mind. 2. I don't really have a single favourite, but I do lean towards some more than others. d20 Star Wars and d6 Star Wars are two I seem to come back to a lot, but its mainly because I'm a Star Wars geek to no end. I haven't really run across a system I don't like, and I do my best to play in as many different ones I can get a hold of. 3. I love PDFs. The fact that it lets people with great ideas get printed in a sense isn't a bad thing at all. For me, the only real downside to PDFs is they usually don't have much art, though that's really not a big thing at all. 4. Mutant (Who doesn't love the X-Men?) 5. I lean a bit more towards concepts than hard mechanics. I'm not a big numbers person, and though I have a firm grasp on many different rules systems, I'm not afraid to bend things to go for a feel of an idea rather than the hard fast rule. As for errors in mechanics and such, a small amount can be expected, but when it becomes too much it just gets in the way of the enjoyment. 6. While I am a college student, I am on the end of the spectrum with far too much free time on my hands to devote to the ENnies. 7. Keep a few of the ones I like and give most of them away. 8. 4e will come when it comes. I'm in no rush for it, but I won't be screaming to burn WotC down when it does get announced. 9. John 10. Minis and software both depend on the game I'm playing or running. For D&D, I usually use software ahead of time to help prep for a game, and minis in game, but never the software while running it. I feel like it slows down play too much. I rarely use software for other systems, and minis is an off and on thing that I think is still very optional for even D&D. 11. Do incriminating images of P-Cat count? Used to have threads of those and I can probably dig one up... 12. Currently running two Star Wars d20 games, a D&D 3.5e Homebrew. I'm also playing in a Shadowrun game that just got started a couple weeks back and a year long Mutants and Masterminds game. In the past year, I've run a d6 Star Wars game, a GURPS Discworld game, a few Paranoia games, and one d20 Modern game. Hmm...seem to have lost the numbering system. So I'll just start quoting here. I think its a good idea. While I don't mean to slight against the 3rd party publishers, and really they've gotten a great deal of my love over the last couple of years, WotC just has more money and resources to put into their products than most other companies have available. And...back to the numbers... 13. I've been gaming for eight years now. Its less than a lot of the other judges, I know, but most have a few years on me as it is(only 21 here). But I feel like in that time I've played in a variety of game systems to have a lot of exposure to things. I also think being younger will bring a different perspective to the ENnies judges. Not all the gamers these days have been playing for 20+ years. :) 14. I've been homebrewing since I started playing. Right away, the idea of creating my own world to play games in struck me and it hasn't left since. Its always been limited to world creation, but I'm not afraid to create rules here and there that are specific to the setting. But I have to agree with others and say that you don't have to be able to make your own world or system to identify a good one. I've also never been published or really attempted to be. Going to avoid the policy type stuff considering the last few posts and don't want to get that heated stuff going again...so... A couple of my groups have been alerted to this possibility. Obviously, can't playtest all of it, but would definitely like to try giving some of it some play. I ran last year mainly because of just wanting to see what it was like and to try to be a part of things. I didn't really expect to get many votes, but ended up the 6th highest, right behind the 5 that were chosen. This year, its pretty much the same reason. Though now, more so than before, I'm sure that I have the time to commit to this. Nope. [/QUOTE]
