Congratulations, Ron, on picking up a coveted (I'm not sure by whom) Outie award doled out every year by Ken "Sassy" Hite. Ron picked it up this year for "Most Improved Retread of 2001," which may not sound like an honor but most assuredly is.
Still... the fact that
Adventure!
beat
Little Fears
does crack my heart a bit...
Congrats again, Ron!

If it makes you feel any better, Jason, I was in one of the gaming stores in Kansas City this weekend & in the section dominated by White Wolf products there were NO copies of
Adventure!
, but there were FOUR copies of
Little Fears
(& 1 copy of
Sorcerer & Sword
). Although, as Ron & I were discussing the other night, the ordering & reordering practices of RPG retailers is suspicious at best.

I am most pleased by Ken Hite's support and recognition, as he is a guy who only cares about what really makes sense, rather than any kind of image to live up to.
He's teasin' me with that bit about my vocal disagreement, but I actually don't disagree with him. I do consider the hardback an improvement over the PDF, in all kinds of ways. It's not the medium, it's the content, and the book is way better.
I also thought his d20 metaphor (bloating with gas being mistaken for "growth") was most apt. I have no beef with d20 or the OGL ... it's the perception of it for something it's not that makes me wince, and Ken has nailed it.
Best,
Ron

Well... that is something Ken is prone to doing. I've met Ken, I've read Ken, and I like Ken. With ego-deflating needle in hand (just in case), I daresay this industry would be better off with more people who possess Ken's brand of integrity and honesty.

Hey...congratulations to Sorcerer!
And maybe The Forge needs a membership-voted "Indie" awards. We could coordinate things with Ken so the Indie and Outie awards were announced on the same day!

I dunno, Paul. I think if we tried something like that, it'd just go belly up.
