Submissions and Panels and Ceremonies! O...

364. That’s the number of submissions the judges have received for this year’s ENnies. In my four years of being associated with the Awards, that is the largest number of submissions I have ever seen. I would like to thank everyone involved for making this year’s process such a success. Oh course, now the judges have to wade through 364 submissions to nominate the creme de la creme. Until that time, their lives will be hectic but completely worth it. The actual ceremony itself is going to be held on Friday, August 17, in the Grand Hall Ballroom of the...

We still need Booth Volunteers!

We still need you! What for? We need volunteers for the ENnies booth at Gen Con this year. I know it’s really early to think about Gen Con, but we want to give people plenty of time to work out their schedule between now and event registration a couple of weeks. How long will it take?

Starting off with a more personal question, RoleplayingTips.com has been running since November 1999. You started the site to improve your won GM skills. So what keeps you going? What keeps you enthusiastic about working in the RPG industry? Great question. It changes over time. Like you said, I started it to become a better GM. That’s still true. I’m always learning from reader tips, research and writing out my thoughts. Around the mid-2000s I was so busy writing and working that I had to drop RPG for awhile. Roleplaying Tips helped fill the void and keep me...

Interview – Christopher De La Rosa...

Hunters Books is the publisher of Outbreak: Undead, the Zombie Survival RPG. Starting off with a more personal question, Hunters Books was founded in 1999 to bring knowledge of the upcoming zombie apocalypse to the masses. So what keeps you going? What keeps you enthusiastic about working in the RPG industry? What keeps us excited about gaming is that it’s still very much an open frontier. True, there are heavy hitters that produce some outstanding games, but there is still room for a tremendous amount of creativity that isn’t bogged down with the concern of...
