Huh? What gave you that impression? I'm pretty sure it went down just like Greg mentioned, publishers were mentioned, but not designers.Henry said:Thanks for the expanded point of view, Nicole. Sounds like there was a lot more attribution to the individuals instead of the companies than was mentioned in the blog.

I speak from experience; I used to say the same sort of thing about Trinity. I was wrong then. You are wrong now.

NOR a man playing a saw.

Shard O'Glase said:Is this Greg Costikyan the author of Another day another dungeon perhaps the greatest fantasy novel of all time? If so, I don't care about Orgins cause I'm not a convention type of guy I just wish he'd write more books and I don't know continue the another day another dungeon series.![]()
...to this:Costikyan's blog said:After this, they have some folks say a few words about Don Turnbull (Hall of Famer, recently deceased), who used to run TSR/UK (and I remember as an old-school postal Diplomacy player).
From what I could see, Costikyan thought the performance was lousy. He had virtually nothing to say about Turnbull (my quote was everything that Costikyan said about him). You're really reaching when you imply that his dislike of the performance was some kind of disrespect to Turnbull.Nikchick said:While Greg himself may not have cared about the loss of Don Turnbull, many other attendees knew and loved him and were deeply saddened by his loss, and being able to turn their attention to Luke Ski's short performance before moving on to further awards presentations was appreciated by some (though they didn't run home and post screeds to their blogs about their experiences).
Mike Stackpole is MC, and he moves things swiftly along. It's not a bad ceremony--
Except for the fact that at no time is the name of a game designer, miniatures sculptor, graphic artist, illustrator--or, god help me, author--ever mentioned. Everything is ascribed to the publisher.
I'm sure this is extremely just. Gone With the Wind , product of MGM, right? (Selznick who?) Viking Publising, Grapes of Wrath, what a great novel. (Steinbeck? Who dat?) Dungeons & Dragons by--Hasbro, yes, that's the ticket.
