He probaly did, it's just that I had done like 4 last week as well.  The last of mine was posted today.  We like to have new aricles every day but try to space them out if they're from the same deparment.  Also Just FYI the submit articles function is now working, I sent mine that way to test it.

Thanks to Palladium sending me a ton of books, and Spriggan getting very excited about Palladium Fantasy, and ElJeffe writing a lot of articles, we have a hojillion (yes, I counted them) RPG articles in the pipeline. That's a very good thing, and I want you to keep them coming! Use the website submission thing if possible, and I'll space out the actual postings as Spriggan said.

I guess you could use 'excited', but it's more 'hey I've got all these books why don't I review them'.  But when ever I get free stuff I get excited.  I should have about another 5 PFRPG reviews comming up in the next few weeks.

All requests for materal for TWG must be done through Fell, or he unleashes his horde of deamons on you.  And I'm not sure about this but I think we've allready solicited Hero games.

I've talked with the Hero people before, and they were going to send us some stuff, but that was months before 5th edition came out and I think our request got lost in the shuffle somewhere. I should write them again.

As for requesting free stuff, the only advice I can give you is not to do it unless you deny all ties to TWG. Everything we get goes through official channels (ie, me) and is then distributed out to whoever asked first. If anyone who wants to write us an article could just use our name and start begging game companies for handouts, TWG would lose its credibility (such as it is) very quickly. If you can think of a good excuse to get free stuff that doesn't involve TWG in any way, go for it. On the other hand, if you want me to try to get you something, send incredibly detailed notes on what it is and who to talk to, and I'll try to get it for you.

By the way, Prometheus requested Hero stuff months ago (that's why I talked to them in the first place), so if I end up getting any he has first dibs.
