Setting Search Finalists: Who are these guys?

[SemperJase]

Well, WotC has released the names of the finalists.

Does anyone know anything about them? Do they have any previous RPG credits?

people were talking about it yesterday here:

Well, I'd be glad to tell you a little about Keith Baker. He's written two books for Goodman Games: the Complete Guide to Doppelgangers (coming out in about 4 weeks) and the Complete Guide to Wererats (scheduled for January). He's a great writer with lots of good ideas... and he has good grammar, so his work is easy to edit!

I Lurk!

Hey!

I just wanted to let folks know that while I don't post much, I am a long-time lurker, and I certainly appreciate the good wishes from those who have sent them along. I talked about a few of my entries that didn't make it (I posted one called Nightfall on the forums, but didn't get around to emailing it in to get on the settings page) back in the day, and really enjoyed seeing other people's submissions.

Needless to say, with all the great ideas I've seen I feel very lucky to have gotten this far and to have the chance to develop my world. I wish that I could say more about it, but I'm still under NDA. So I'll simply note that it didn't include the words "Golden Age", and leave it at that...

-Keith

Congratulations Keith!

I've loved every one of your encounters in "En Route" and if they are any indications, your work should be very interesting.

But what's this obsession with cows??

Best of luck for the final round of the Setting Search!

Hey, I know that guy...

Hmmm, well, I'm still reeling from the fact that WOTC released my name on their website after hammering home that I had to get my sister to sign an NDA before I could tell her I made it. But my friend emailed me a link to this topic after seeing it, so I figured that rather than consign you to any further head-scratching over my previous RPG writing credits, I would let you know that I have none. At least professionally.

Of course, I can't tell you anything about my world. The details on "Flumph-world: Quest to Not Be Flipped Over" will have to remain secret for now.

From one person with zero writing credits to another...

CONGRATS!!!!

You give me hope. Don't forget the little guys if you win.

What? NO Writing credits, dude that babylon 5 conversion is all the credit you need for me...

 

[GiantInThePlayground]

Ha! I forgot about that. I'm surprised anyone else found it, buried so deep in WOTC's boards. I have it on good authority that someone (don't know who) has secured new RPG rights to B5, so I guess that pet project isn't going anywhere officially. For those interested in a sample of my work (though more 'rule-oriented' than the Setting Search) check out Babylon 5 d20 on Wizards.com I hope to have a website up soon with other stuff I've written.

And thanks for the Congrats, Undead Pete.

Funny about that B5 thingyma jig. I think you are going to be approached soon to see if it can be made into a website.

Take a look in the d20 systems forum

Oh yeah, from one B5 fan to another congrats - hope you bring some of the soul of B5 to your winning setting.
