    Who attends GenCon?

    The first year I attended was the last year in Milwaukee. We'd been nominated for an ENnie Award for Portable Hole Full of Beer, and decided to make the pilgrimmange. We were making sufficient money off d20 sales that we could afford the trip, and thought it was the best time for our inaugural...

    SPA event track for Gen Con, call for submissions!

    Bueller? So ENWers, did anyone submit something? The Gelflings and I are going to do some Irish dance demos & workshops on Thursday (the only free-ish time I have during the con).

    No Talent at Gen Con this year

    Just got an email- apparently there will be no talent portion of the costume contest this year- I guess they got sick of the Gelflings winning 4 years in a row! Dang- so now my darling dancing daughters will be judged on their appearance rather than their skills. Double dang- I can't sew...

    En-Guilds, En-Armory status?

    Update from Eastern Ontario At the moment, Hound is rather burned out on d20 and D&D in general, so I doubt we'll see anything new from the Ambient household (EN Armory & Arsenals, Necromancer's Legacy, etc) until I can find the time to crack the whip. And what with me being so involved with a...

    Best Fan Site

    This actually brings up a question I've been pondering. Should fans be able to submit their fave sites? Or do the site maintainers/creators have to do the honours?

    Calling all past staff members & judges!

    In an effort to help new judges and staff members with their tasks, we've set up an ENnies Wiki. I'm looking for past staff members and judges who would like to help fill in some of the blanks and share their experiences and opinions on the processes, what constitutes a good product, etc...

    ENnie Awards logo design wanted

    Voice your opinion! Wow! You know, the other day (sorry, I gotta do some name dropping here) as Robin Laws was interviewing me about the ENnies for the Gen Con Anniversary Book, he asked me to what I attributed the Awards' success. After little thought, I replied it had a lot to do with the...

    Best Fan Site

    I disagree that an "individual" site cannot compete with a "hub" site. A larger site may have more articles and contributors, but does it have consistently good quality overall? The ENnies don't disinguish between big or small products, they consider the overall quality as a whole. Judges...

    2007 Submission Period open

    I'm no judge but... In the interests of increased transparency, I guess in all fairness I should give y'all a little hint when it comes to the 2007 Judges Choice for Best Submission Form Award: Legibility is key. Haiku gets bonus marks. I hear that at least one of our judges favours the...

    2007 Submission Period open

    What with CMS out there, putting a site on a CD just isn't feasible anymore. So just include the URL, thanks- although please enter it as a separate product!

    2007 Submission Period open

    Hey Joe, At the bottom of the part where you check off which categories in which you wish your product entered, there should be a blurb saying "All products will be considered for Best Electronic Book, best Game, Best d20/OGL Product and/or Best Product as appropriate." In other words, there's...

    Hey all! The submission period for the 2007 Gen Con EN World RPG Awards is now open, and while the judges are waiting for their product to arrive, I thought we (as in fandom in general), could give them something to do. What fan sites should I harass into entering? Besides past years'...
