[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 3335008, member: 232"] A strong point is a love of gaming (we all have this) and a familiarity with lots of gaming systems. I keep a library of core books of many of the games we are likely to get so I can go back and reference the core books when needed. I'm also very familiar with the PDF side of gaming. I think a weakness of mine might be the PDFs. I seem to be a bit biased for them against the more popular print books. [*][b]What one characteristic as a judge do you bring to the table that differentiates you from the other potential judges?[/b] I review a lot of books so I'm able to read a RPG book like a novel with no problems. And I'm used to reading things critically. [*][b]What cultural interests do you have outside of gaming (i.e reading, comics, parenting, scuba diving, anything), that make you a better judge and why?[/b] I read mysteries and other fiction. Once spring hits I'll be hiking and spending time out in my gardens. Burnout after reading a couple hundred RPG books is a reality and one needs to be able to do something that leaves it all behind if only for a little while. [*][b]How important a factor is artwork (cover, illustrations, cartography) in your overall impression of judging products? [/b] They are important, so important they have their own categories. The cover is always the first thing you see of a product. But one has to look past the factors that are not in the category the product is being judged on. But for the overall categories like Best product these play an important role like all aspects that make up a book. [/QUOTE]
