Fab and Groovey.
Let's hope that the line continues to get better and people start to take note of its popularity.

I really liked the book. Good to see that it at least got some mention.

The book is great and one of my favourites. It deserved an award and I hope this helps get more people into the game.

Yeah, indeed, there are far too few players for MotRD out there, given how good the setting is (or can be with the right DM).

One thing I always loved about MotRD is that it was different from everything else out there. Plus it's the perfect place to run some of your favourite horror books, poems, movies, etc as games to torment your players. Likewise, the approach to how Gothic Earth was constructed makes it very appealing for players who are not fond of high fantasy (like me, though I play alot of magically inclined characters, I tone down the level of magic in all my games by making it rarer still).

I guess congratulations are in order for winning honorable mention. Maybe if there weren't so many problems with the book, you would have taken top prize.

I think it would have deserved the prize in any case, as they didn't even give it to *City State of the Invincible Overlord*, which was certainly the best High Fantasy book last year.
The nice thing about GE is that it added something regular games just didn't offer to the players - now, IMO, it deserved some corrections, but it still was better as the usual *steam-punk/dark fantasy/god war setting*.
