Why? Because we're trying something new! We will be releasing new games for people to download at e23 on GM's Day, which is Sunday, March 4th, and will link to them in this thread. We were hoping to have a conversation with e23 customers and fans that wasn't just about "Buy our stuff at e23."

So, to answer Steven's question about GM's...

For me, what makes a GM awesome is one who can cause me to have an emotional reaction during the game. That's when I know how invested I am in the story. Sometimes, that sneaks up on me! Does anyone know if that was covered in Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering? Sadly, it's been a while since I read it.
