Read my second line then, and perhaps you'll see where I said it doesn't matter. How do you judge if someone is "receptive" to a new product, that they can give it the same fair treatment as their first exposure to it?
You can't, and it doesn't matter because RPG products are so varied and opinions so person that there is no way you can not form biased opinions on them. Understand that these are fan awards for a subsection of a small community and then maybe "wait, what?" wouldn't be your reaction.

And an impractical one to boot. How many would be judges out there do you know don't already like some games?  |
this is not about all games everywhere, this is about releases within a set time period. Perhaps the ennies submissions should be year round and when they finales arrive, the top rated books are put up for vote.
Or maybe the ennies should just die, so we don't have these arguements all the time.
And yet another word from our sponsors
