View From the Bushes

I was hoping to come up with something controversial for today's entry. I considered talking about Ann Coulter's new book Treason and her defense of Senator Joseph McCarthy, but to really do the subject justice I need a little more time. Of course discussing a controversial period in our nation's history may not be the best subject for what is ostensibly a role-playing blog.

I was over at ENWorld and Morrus mentioned that the Ennies nominations are going to be announced tommorrow. I guess there might be something contorversial there but nothing has occured to me. Check back tommorrow after they're announced and maybe I'll have something nasty to say then. Hopefully I won't. One problem with role-playing controversy is that once you put pen to paper they do seem pretty silly.

Actually the Ennies have had their share of controversy, the biggest dispute was whether Wizards of the Coast should be allowed to enter their products. The space I have remaining is much to short for a complete discussion of all the subtleties of the Open Gaming License and the D20 System, but suffice it to say that not only does WotC have a much bigger budget, but they don't even play by the same rules as the rest of us. Although as many people have pointed out it sure would be sweet to beat them despite these advantages.
