You'll notice that I didn't submit last time and there was no Staff Picks article at all ;)

All I'm trying to say is that you've got this rather limited genre that I don't think enough people are interested in to make a significant article.

I think there are more tabletop gamers here than you realize.
Between Clix, Diceland, and Warhammer, there are at least 5 or 6 people here who would submit.

I think you are choosing catagories with too few choices - having something along the lines of "which heroclix models do you like the best" would be good, due to the extreme range of choices.

I will still submit though. And we have Mr P, Slant, myself, Fell, Mustard as warhammer players, with spriggo recently having gone into heroclix.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Ent, I think there are plenty of choices: 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Inquisitor, Mordheim, Blood Bowl, Gothic, Epic, Ancient Battles -- and that's just Games Workshop.  Then you've got the whole clix line (Heroclix, Mage Knight, MechWarrior) and then mounds and mounds of other Wargame rules (that Samurai thing pops to mind, and I know there are lots of others).

yeah, what he said. But it looks like Saint might actually get some submissions for this one.

Whatever happened to Staff Picks?  I thought it was one of the better ideas...

version 6 was supposed to be table top system, but I didn't get any submissions. Then I got distracted.

I think we ought to start it up again.  What would be even better is if we could get three or four people (maybe the main TWG people--like Fell, EUOL or SE) who would agree to post in every single Staff Picks as a Panel of Experts or something.  If other people want to submit as well, then they're welcome to.

/me laughs heartily at the concept of EUOL and Fell posting a regular article

well, it wouldn't be a whole article
It'd be the three suggestions.

Ok, favorite WWII movie or TV show. It WILL be Staff Picks 6.  I would really like to at least hear from Fell, EUOL, Sprig, and JP. Not that they're particularly expert at WWII, but they are really what we consider "staff" around here. 42, who is also staff, I'd love to hear from. Tage is staff too, but I know better than to expect content from him. And well, the rest of you. Your opinion counts! (or at least will be published)

I'll email you something right now. I haven't been able to get on the Net since Friday morning, so I didn't see this until now, but Mustard pointed it out to me.
