Amusingly, I think nearly everyone who has participated on a regular basis has expressed a feeling of unworthiness at one point or another, myself included. As far as praising you too greatly, I bet if we put that to a vote my perspective would win out. <em>*kniw*</em> I was having a conversation with another RT participant yesterday and expressing how pleased I am with the consistently high quality of the submissions.

The round table is not a competition, and if it were I sincerely doubt I would win it. ;) Best wishes! You praise me too greatly, sir.

Much like most of our entrants usually do! As long as it's current, strongly tangential and thought provoking, I'm up for including your post.

I meant it to be a design challenge. One in which we explore games and gameplay which appeal to a broad spectrum of player, from the occasional player who may not have the attention span to follow a lengthy plot to the regular player who craves the long term challenge of a 40+ hour campaign. For example: <em>LEGO Star Wars: The Original Trilogy</em> and <em>LotRO</em>'s Monster Play would be excellent games to deconstruct from this perspective. From what I've played of <em>Rune Factory</em> so far, it might qualify as well. Plus, I'm sure we can come up with a lot of fun gameplay ideas of our own to explore.
