[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 2041093, member: 192"] I was sorely tempted to enter. I mean, a chance like that is not offered very often. In the end, it was mainly time constraints that kept me out - I figured I would never be able to finish the bigger documents on time, even if I prewrote them (as it happened, the Setting Search took longer than expected, so I might have had the time - but in retrospect, I know any setting I would have submitted would not have won). Nonetheless, I followed the Search pretty closely. I saw when two runner ups of the top ten where revealed as "Golden Age" settings, and it was obvious to "everyone" that WotC only was interested in that type of setting, and "cheated every one else" by not saying so. I saw the rumors of the winner being a psionics heavy setting when it was revealed that the Psionics Handbook would be revised. And not to forget the complaints that Eberron broke the "no technology rule," which of course refers to a suggestion by (I think) Anthony Valterra that basically said "If you have widespread use of gunpowder, you are [u]propably[/u] too far."
