I thought this was RPG-general enough to put in here.

As I promised during my run, I've started up a blog about the process of being a 2008 ENnies judge and the entire judging process.  RPG Blog II will also talk a bit about just RPGs in general.

Please, guys, let me know what you think about products for this year.  Even though my vote remains my own, your insight and comments could help me see something I'd missed, or possibly look at something in a way I hadn' t considered before.  So, please, let me know what you think, and help us and follow us as we try to get the best RPG products, regardless of company, legacy, or author in this year's contest.  Thanks!

That link goes to straight to my regular reading list, but at the moment it's returning an error "Server Error, The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.  Please try again in 30 seconds."

Me too.  Think the site might be having some issues.  I'd just wait a tick.

Yeah, every blogspot.com site I go to is similarly hosed right now.

Looks like its back up...man,that took a bit!

woo! It's good to have the rpgblog back. Im interested in the judging insights.

I should mention just a few things:

-By the rules set down, I'm not going to be able to tell you which judge hated what and that sort of thing.  The deliberations and that private debate remains, well, private.

-I will be happy to tell you my thoughts on any product I review, or tell you if we haven't received a product, or general information about how busy we are, what's going into the evaluation process, etc.  I promised to be as open as I can with everything, and I will, as far as I am able without compromising the integrity of the awards or the other judges.

-Keep in mind that even if I do review a product, it is still going up against plenty of other products that might be just as good or better.  I'll also look at products likely quite a few times as the ENnies get closer.  Just because I give it a generally positive review now does not mean that you'll see it in the ENnies, or that if it isn't in there, other judges hated it.

-I will be disallowing comments for publishers for now, as getting into arguments or praise-a-thons would not be fitting.  There will be forums open for the ENnies soon, and at that point, I'll allow 'em again.  I hope you guys understand this. I'm being as open as I can without sacrificing the integrity of the awards.

Thanks, and happy reading!

EDIT:  Double post.
