I guess WotC didn't enter again this year...

Hats off to BiggusGeekus for Murchad’s Legacy (Parent’s Basement Games)!

Would it be possible to denote the game system that each of the nominees are in? I certainly have no clue about some of the ones above and I'm sure others are in the same boat.

Thanks!

I think I just had an ENniegasm.

About three weeks later, I had some 100 typewritten pages, and we began serious play-testing in Lake Geneva, while copies were sent to the Twin Cities and to several other groups for comment.

Congratulations to all the nominees. This year there were many, many excellent entries. I know I had a very difficult time narrowing my choices down in many categories (and from the discussions we had, so did the other judges). Best of luck to everyone in the voting!

Dextra, is that the order that the awards will be announced in? (I must have the order right before I open the booth).

EDIT: Nevermind - I'll launch it with this order - it can't be that far off and it's not that important that the voting list matches the order given out anyway (IMO)

That is a great list of products and publishers! I cannot even imagine how much material the reviewers had to go through...thanks!

A shame some major publishers are out...especially with WW and WHFRP in. I think it would be an even fight no matter what.

The d20 Game should be d20/OGL game as Blue Rose and Arcana Evolved aren't d20 games but outside of that quibble, it looks like a fantastic running.

It'll be interesting to see how all the '2nd' edition publishers, Warhammer 2nd ed's Black Industiries and White Wolf's new World of Darkness, come out against some of the other fans of more established settings and games.
