I’ve been too swamped at work this week to have thought about RPGs much, unfortunately. Here’s the news from my end of the earth:
#1: Like everyone in the whole world, I want one of these. The ePawn is just awesome, and I’m glad they’re keeping the price down so that it’s within reach of many gamers. If you haven’t seen the ePawn in action, do go look at the videos on their website; it’s definitely an interesting product.
I’m also hoping that the fact that they use Mansions of Madness in some of the promo materials means that they’re working out some deals with FFG.
#2: Speaking of FFG, I’m a little miffed that we haven’t heard anything about the release date for the Black Crusade Collector’s Edition. I ordered that thing, oh, I don’t know, about a bazillion years ago, and there’s been no word for months about its release date. I guess it turns out that it’s going to be “sometime in February,” but for such a pricey item, it’d be nice if they were a bit more forthcoming about how they’re calculating release date schedule. Oh, well. It’s FFG. I can stay mad at them until I go to their website, then I see their great art direction and end up forgetting what was making me mad in the first place.

Looks interesting but not sure it’s got enough going for it to merit the price tag. And if people want lots of special effects such as the dragon breath they’d probably be playing console games?
And I do wish they wouldn’t have such a terrible soundtrack to the video – not every gamer loves rock music

I agree COMPLETELY about the music!!! Of course, I suppose no matter what you choose, someone would gripe, eh?
As for the price tag, I think it’s fairly reasonable IF the program and pieces work well AND you’re the sort of gamer whose group would use it on a regular basis. Like everything, I think it’s a group-by-group decision. I like that they’ve kept the price tag low enough that many groups could probably pitch in together and buy one if they really wanted it.
