I just heard Christmas Wrappings by the Waitresses. My season is complete.

Did reindeer trample your heart or something?

I don't really think a lot of us appreciate the logistical planning and execution that goes into making such a large event successful. We don't think about how the sausage is made, we just enjoy eating it. Changing venue can be a difficult decision, but it sounds like it was to their benefit...

And the sad truth is that nobody really knows what's going to be successful. You can hedge your bets, but at the end of the day even good movies sometimes fail to find an audience.

I purchased Vaesen, the GM screen, and the mini-campaign The Lost Mountain Saga.

D&D won that contest a long, long time ago. And it wasn't really a contest. I don't say that to badmouth Traveler. While I've never played it, I do own the Mongoose version, it's a good game with a long, proud history. It's just that D&D was an continues to be the juggernaut of table top...
