ORCS ARE ORCS
(A response to another blog written by someone who is mired in the belief that all of the fantasy gaming that came before was rooted in very not-okay wrong-thinking) I came across a blog called " Prismatic Wasteland " written by W.F. Smith, author of Barkeep on the Borderlands . Apparently portions of his blog were printed in book format as a slick, die-cut cover, 200-page specimen. Both it and the blog it derives from were nominated for Ennies by the "masked" judges (as he puts it) of those awards. Well, those judges are hardly "masked," as I recently discovered and often prop up their like-thinking friends as well as products they support and/or bankroll, but that's a whole other topic of discussion (or rant.) I'll just say that there are certainly Ennie nominees and winners that are worthy of praise and.. well, some that are not .
