Nothing new, this happens everytime there's one of those developer giveaway with thousands of keys.
You'll surely get on a few blacklists for the title alone, though, despite the fact that you're giving away such awesome games...
By the way, are these supposed to be all invite-only giveaways?
Because the level 3 one for Divine Divinity is public...

BUMP!

Yup. Every time I see Drunk Wizards on the front page I send the giveaway creator to my blacklist. It's a fun treasure hunt of sorts.

Mothafuckin' wizards never die
Robilar! I've been meaning to mention this since I read it in the BLAEO blog:You read an FR novel! That is awesome! I used to read those by the shelf-load, but it's harder to find non-4E ones these days(sorry, FR to me will always be pre-Spellplague) at my library/used bookstore. What's your favorite FR series/favorite author?

Related to this, I really loved Eberron. I wish it had caught on more as a world.
I feel the same way about the Birthright setting. I liked the idea of the Eberron houses and dragon-ancestry(?) but didn't get into the setting that much.
RLB actually wrote one of my favorite trilogies though "The Haunted Lands" series.Thay is a place I love to hate, and seeing it become the ultimate symbol of corruption and Ssaz Tam's goal taken to extremes was a pleasure.
I haven't read Baker's fiction but I have long been an admirer of his work on FR sourcebooks and lore. I own most of 'em.
Denning is great, especially Death of the Dragon (co-author Greenwood) which was a huge book when it came out(no pun intended) because of the effect it had on Realmslore.
Cunningham I like, except her elf books, I don't read elf books:P
Salvatore was the first fantasy author I really took to after Tolkien and, yeah, prettymuch have to agree that he put FR on the map as much as Greenwood. I do still curse his name for giving us so many "Drizzit" wannabes in tabletop and video FR games though. He also ruined the Dwarven race imo, after starting out so great with Bruenor.He sort of made them comic relief in later books.
Paul Kemp gave us the wonderful Erevis Cale! I still own those books. I strongly recommend his original series "Egil and Nix", fantastic swashbuckling fantasy in the grand tradition of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.
I don't read the FR books for amazing literature, I read them for popcorn good times:)

Cale>Entreri imho.
I haven't read BotG because, again, 4E:P I'm a stickler, mostly because they killed off one of my favorite gods (Gorm Gulthyn RIP). For the same reason I haven't read the post-Spellplague Drizzt novels even though I understand Gauntlygrym is a blast(though with some questionable loreregarding orcs and dwarves living together?iirc.

I liked Bareris Anskuld a lot, he's one of my favorite FR characters. I didn't think he was in the BoG books though.
I'll say this:One of my favorite pairings in any fantasy series is Jarlaxle with Entreri.
