Gestern wurden die Origins-Awards vergeben. Überraschung des Abends war die Kategorie "Bestes Rollenspiel". Die 4. Edition von D&D verliert gegen eine abgespeckte Version von
Burning Wheel. Ich tippe auf eine weitreichende Verschwörung, deren Drahtzieher Berandor und Talwyn sind.
Hier die Nachricht im Original. Lächerlich übrigens, dass Mousegard
Trail of Cthulhu ausgebootet hat.
