[QUOTE="Mark Causey, post: 3336310, member: 13347"] I am trying to catch up here. It looks like questions stopped being numbered at some point. I will answer the first 18 and leave it there for new questions. Questions 1-18 1. Price factors in when I buy a product. Free market forces and price points have little to do with the decisions I feel I would be making. 2. I have many favorite systems, based on the kind of gaming and fun they provide, but they all have high levels of quality. They help guide me in that they remind me what is good and what is crap. 3. PDFs are hard to take with me, and don't always make me feel like I'll have the resource when I need it. However, they do end up going to work with me sometimes and by paper when I go to the table. 4. ... heh. Okay, I'd have to say mutant. 5. Errors lower quality no matter what they relate to. I consider proofreading a definite level of quality that I deserve from a product. 6. I am in a stable job, with a wife who is aware of this responsibility and approved it. She is in a stable job. I feel that I am adequately prepared to make the time needed to do this job. 7. I will ask advice from those who have gone on before me (especially Cthulhu's Librarian, as he was the one I suggested I do this in the first place). 8. I hope that Wizards releases an awesome product with 4e that revolutionizes the game industry. I hope that they take the time to do that. 9. Scarab. 10. I have never had many good experiences with software for D&D (I blame my high expectations falling short for the disk included in my 3.0 Player's Handbook). I like Dundjinni and love well made battle maps. I don't collect minis and rarely have a use for them in that I can use any counter and feel happy about the tactics and gaming. 11. No, I only offer pictures of Rel from those wild pre-Gameday parties. 12. That would be a very long list. I am currently in a D&D game, a Shadow of Yesterday Game, a Cinematic Unisystem game, and am planning my next Gameday game. 13. I have been roleplaying with others since I arrived at my last high school in my Junior year in 1995. The foundation for this started since I could daydream, most of my 29 years. I think everything in my life leads to who I am, so yes, it will influence my decisions. 14. I love messing around with systems and seeing what changes do to them. I've been doing this since I played in a homebrew LARP on my college campus. I think that anytime a group puts together an effort to create a unpublished setting is doing the same thing, at least at a basic level. I think that being cognizant of how things work and the ramifications to tweaking or deleting rules is a requirement for being able to guess how they work without actually playing them. 15. I think a codified set of rules comes out each year based on what that group is like. I can't imagine making rules that would survive year to year when they're only used once in that year and by different people each time. 16. Yes. I applaud Denise's efforts, I doubt I would have followed through with this without seeing her threads in the Forge and Story Games as I consider myself a straddler. I don't have any illusions that if the voting base comes primarily from one demographic that it will affect the voting outcomes. But, I'm hoping to be the voice for people like me, who go to ENWorld, the Forge and other sites because they value more than one opinion or point of view. 17. It's already happened. Do I agree with it? Sure, it helps to not have to point people to a thread but to an actual website. It presents a level of organization, and with that. another iota of respect. 18. Gosh, I'm not the best at guessing what ENWorld would do if they had to go to another place to vote. I'm hoping that we're all web-friendly enough to go where the links lead us. [/QUOTE]
