Clark, Erik and Wolfgang, I am really impressed with the level of analysis you gentlemen are putting into the countries. I am also amazed at the RPG talent in the world! My votes are recorded and I cannot wait to see where we go from here. This contest was brilliant. Thanks for all the (obvious) time you are all putting into this. See you out there...

I agree, whatever else you can say, there's a lot of love going into this. I'm not sure the business payoff could ever warrant the time and energy. That just shows how much they can give to the hobby and shows how hobbies survive and grow because of community strength.

Pete v.B and Propeliea, thank you both for your kind words. Sometimes, the work that goes into these things isn't about the business side of things, but just about the love of the hobby, as you say. Plus, any chance to talk about games at a high level with fans and contestants is a good thing.
If you feel compelled to pick up a game book or magazine from Erik, Clark, or me, hey, I won't stop ya! That's Kobold Quarterly and Open Design in my case. :)
As a magazine publisher, I'm sort of quietly hoping one or two of my favorite contestants will send queries to my slush pile one day; submission guidelines are available. But I think those guys are kind of busy for the next little while....
Look at Wolfie work it!
Yeah, this isnt for the business side of things. I love D&D and Erik and I are on the same page on a lot of things. He knows I am crazy and would agree to volunteer to do this just because I love design issues like this. He was right.
That is very kind of you, by the way.
But please dont forget Lisa, whose idea this was. And Vic and Gary who make this web stuff go. They have been studs making our stuff all go live for all of you. So my hat is off to them!

Wolfgang, even though I did not make the final 32 wondrous items, as a writer/former Dragon contributor, do we have an invitation to query for your slush pile; or do you just want to hear from the big guns? So, while the little magazine that could gets big, is there still a place for the little guys? Thanks again.

A belated salute to Lisa, Vic and Gary - rock on!

If you are a subscriber or if you are a former Dragon contributor, you are welcome to query. Now a good time, actually: I'm starting to look around for a theme for the next issue.

Elementals!
I run an epic, heavily-elemental themed campaign, and would love to see some elemental stuff.
Or Far Realms stuff, though we probably can't call it that.
In the (sort of) words of Sergeant Albrecht: "I call it the Far Realms, detective. But I suppose you'll write it up as 'outdoors'. "
(Couldn't resist, just watched The Crow the other day.)
I commend the judges for doing what is largely a thankless job. Without you three there wouldn't be a contest.
That is very kind of you, by the way.

Many thanks to her. This was a very cool idea for a contest.
But here's the real question: I think we can all agree that Wolfgang is our Simon. So between Mona and Peterson, who's Paula and who's Randy?
Incidentally, thanks to CreativeJuices7, all my campaigns will now feature a Blackrazor who sounds vaguely like George W. Bush.
That is all.

You're right Clark. It was worth the whole contest just to watch wolfie work it. ;)
Love to you all, and much thanks for my favorite gaming event ever to hit the internet.

I was thinking he sounded bit more like immitation Elvis.

Yeah. He reminds me of the Johnny Bravo cartoon... who was pretty much an imitation Elvis. :)

Peterson = Randy. Randy usually has all that objective, rules stuff going.
therefore, Mona must = Paula.
That depends. Are you willing to have an animated cat as a co-host?

Hey, I'll take 'em where I can get 'em!
P.S. I had a bit of a chuckle a few minutes after posting that when I remembered that the last time I made a music-related comment on these boards it was from Iron Maiden's "Live After Death" album.
