Teens in Space Wins Best RPG Origins Award

Tyler Pickering · Oct 4, 2020

Never heard of it. Looked at the winners and again I don't really think some of these awards for the industry are really relative to what is actually being purchased or the best products. Contrast paints I do agree with however, they were a great product that sold well. This is just my opinion.

Not really the point, is it?

huh really? I would not have guessed that. At least for me Pathfinder 2, Alien, and the Expanse ranked higher on my list of RPGs.

Yeah my vote would be for PF2 but I'm biased as that is the one I play most.

I'm also not an industry analyst or well versed in the sales numbers of the winners of the origin awards.

I'd be interested to know how the winners are determined though.

Edit: Nevermind I read into it some more and learned how the Origins Awards work.

Congratulation to them for winning.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners from a former winner!

Congrats to the winners.

To answer some questions; Origins isn't a "best seller" award. The award has also been around for like 33 years and 12 years before that under a different name. It's also an industry award.

It has been notable that a number of smaller press, or more low key releases, have been winning awards over recent years.

Teens In Space deserves the recognition. It's a great game! Congratulations to Jonathan Gilmour and Doug Levandowski!

Never heard of "Teens in Space" and not read the details yet, but taking a punt that it is from the same team that did "Kids on Bikes" which did pretty well with new players.
