2007 ENnies Nominees - announced!

Fan's Choice for Best Publisher

I am pleased to announce the nominations for the 2007 Gen Con EN World RPG Awards ("The ENnies").

As one of the judges put it, "I think we can all agree that everything that's on the list belongs there, even if we can't agree that everything that belongs there is on the list."

Voting begins Monday, July 16th. In the time before then, I would like to encourage fans to familiarize themselves with all the products in order to make an informed decision, and publishers to contact me as soon as possible to provide me with graphics, verbiage, links, and ceremony details.

Please be advised that we still have to confirm the eligibility of some of the entries, but will be done doing so by the 11th. Unlike the other categories which are all compiled by the five elected judges from amongst submitted products, these nominations were generated from fandom nominations (and seconds) from any publisher who produced an RPG or RPG product during the eligibility period. Without further ado, congratulations to the following nominees for the Fan's Choice for Best Publisher category

In for Product of the Year!

Honorable Mention isn't saying anything bad about Ptolus -- far from it. I think the book is amazing enough that I'll be using it in my next campaign. The other nominees are superb as well -- and choosing the finalists was a TOUGH decision.

I am intrigued by Five Fingers - the judges sure seemed to like it!

I've heard nothing but great things about Five Fingers... I think it was Maldur who was raving on and on about it when I was talking to him about his campaign.
