The last time the design team at AEG even watched >the finals of a convention tournament was Memorial Day weekend of 1999. You >can see from my record that I've been to a lot of tournaments in the SoCal >area and I can't think of one that seemed supported or attended by AEG. Here's the issue I have with what you're saying - you are only looking at tournament support. Since FRPG took over L5R THREE YEARS AGO, that hasn't been part of our job. Our job since the inception of FRPG has been to design the product. Since then, we have often tried to provide an amount of support for the ccg when we happened to be at a convention because we knew the players would appreciate a little more hands-on attention than they would be getting. But that's because we wanted to support the PLAYERS, not the game. >On occasion after the tournament is over, I've seen and talked with Dave >Williams, but he's not there in any "official" capacity. Again, it is and was FRPG's job to support the game "in any official capacity". I was there because I like to talk to THE PLAYERS. >What was the AEG support at the Kotei? I don't remember any AEG staff there. > Jeff Alexander was there, and rumor has it he's the new lead designer, but >he's still not AEG. I'm afraid you're wrong again. As of a little while ago, Jeff is now working with me here at AEG. ---------------------------------------- David Williams l5r@tstonramp.com Lead Designer Alderac Entertainment Group **************************************************************************** The L5R Home Page: http://www.wizards.com/L5R To unsubscribe from this list send mail to listserv@oracle.wizards.com with the line 'SIGNOFF L5RInfo' as the body of the message.
