Academy of Modding Excellence: new site, 2007 awards cycle
AME's New Site
As you may have noticed, I've been adding a few links under the "NWN2 Blogroll" sidebar over the course of the past week or so as I discover other community members' development journals (JClef's Ravenloft blog, Raith Veldrin with Sands of Solvheil, LadyElvenStar with A Time to Die, GamingParentsStudio with NHiN2 [among other things], etc.). My most recent addition to the list, though, is a link to the new website for the Academy of Modding Excellence, an organization dedicated to handing out Oscar-like awards for NWN and NWN2 content.
I was fortunate enough to net one of their awards last year with Perchance to Dream (Best Action 06), and so, as an awards' whore, I'm keenly interested in the way the 2007 NWN2 awards cycle will play out. :) The organization's new site, hosted by the NWVault, looks fantastic, and they've got some shiny new forums that I know I'll certainly be checking fairly regularly!
Moonshadows 2
I was able to get some really solid area design work done yesterday, as well as quite a bit of writing (not all of it for Moonshadows, but still). Today will consist mostly of studying for my only final exam in multivariable calculus, which I have tomorrow, but I'm already feeling decently comfortable with the material. Still, I'll probably spend today studying, because after tomorrow's test, I'm home free! Wheeeee! :)
Awards List on Vault now (sort of) working
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the Award's column of the NWN2 modules Top Rated list wasn't working until quite recently; it was showing only Hall of Fame badges, not other awards (like the Reviewers' Award that Moonshadows and Mask of the Betrayer won). Now, the Reviewers' Awards are showing up...as are some other random Golden Dragon ones on seemingly-random peoples' mods. :P I'm sure Maximus'll sort things out soon.
(Edit: Seems to be fixed! :) )

Thanks Alex for posting a link to my blog as well as Gaming Parents Studios. Good luck on your exam tomorrow - it's been ages since I've written one! :)
Good luck with the Calc!
I'd wager you have a really good shot at pulling a Pats and winning back-to-back years with the mods.
Although I was staying in Cambridge for a little over a week last December, as an Indiana native, I couldn't bring myself to travel up to Gillette Stadium. Too many bad memories y'know.
What happened to the good old days? Mid-80's before the Colts moved; when I was still a rabid Bears Fan and it was all about rival music videos:
Super-Bowl Shuffle
vs.
New England, The Patriots, And You.
I'll tell you what happened. New England didn't appreciate my laughter at their musical expense, and spend the next decade building a team that would excel at kicking me in the pants every season...but I digress.
@LadyElvenStar:
But of course! Thanks to you, as well. :)
@Raith:
Thanks--I'm gonna need it. :P
Kind of you to suggest that! I'll admit I'm sort of hoping that Moonshadows earns something either from the AME or in the MotY contest...but then, what mod author isn't? :)
Heheh, yeah, it's all that Bill Belichik fellow. If it comforts you at all, I've been a patriots fan my whole life, except I switched to rooting for the colts(!) last year because I wanted to see Manning win the super bowl, even if it was at the pats' expense. They did, so I then switched back to being a pats fan...and now they're going UNDEFEATED woo woo woo! ;)
Anyhow, good luck in the upcoming competitions/award cycles, as well as with SoS2/3! I'm looking forward to seeing how things turn out
