In regards to the complaints involving staff. I can understand that it can be rather halting and upsetting when a rover is curt with you or yelling at you for something. Please think of it this way. You can have all the training in the world by the best rovers around, but nothing will prepare you for day one when hundreds of excited fans line up to enter. Is there room for improvement? Yes. Did we do the best we can? I'd like to think so. Also to whomever complained regarding the rover that threw a high five regarding escorting out a person taking a video of the concert? Number one everyone is told the rules regarding the musicfest concert and thus feigning ignorance of rules isn't really acceptable. These rules have been consistent. Number two, there were A LOT of people at that concert, some with glow sticks, others dancing and waving their hands. The sheer fact that a person was spotted with a camera in their hands in a dark room with constant shadowy movement IS something to be proud of. We did our jobs the best of our ability.

Hi Folks,

Deon-Chan was referring to me when he made his post. Now I've been discussing the idea with him and so here's the pitch.

First of all a few RPGA veterans and I are designing a world specifically to be first played at Fanime should we gather the interest. Now, I'll be running D&D specifically 4th edition. The reason I've chosen 4th edition is that the game is much more newbie friendly AND has many MANY anime things in it that make it sort of an anime feel. A sword mage for example (A defender archetype) has the feel of a Bleach character and so on so forth. it' open to discussion, but I envision a D&D game that most new players, especially of the anime fan type could associate with. To that end, I'm working as i said with a few friends to write up and create a world that has the feel of such animes as Record of Lodoss War, Claymore, Berserk and other fantasy genre anime. If you're interested either let Deon-Chan know or me know.

thanks for the consideration!

Well I am always down to be sure.
But the things is, while I have seen it done, D&D 4e and 3.5 don't fit well as Anime RPGs. The Mechanics just don't translate well into a anime feel. though then it matters how much of an Anime feel you are looking for.
And I wouldnt say 3.5 lacks anything that can be translated into a anime like feel. The Duskblade fits as well as a 4e Swordmage, as would the Psychic Warrior. And then there is that lovely book known as the Book of Nine Swords... Yeah, I'm sure you can tell I prefer 3.5 to 4e. Though I will have to agree that 4e is more newbie friendly with straight forward (I would say lack of varienty) character options.

D&D 3.5 and 4th both have a uniqueness to them. I would say however that part of the feel to make the game feel like an anime is also in the creation of the world that the players are immersed in. Immersion is part of that which makes the game "feel" right.
