Hey all! Just wanted to remind you that the submission period for the 2007 Gen Con EN World RPG Awards is now open. Download the entry form which contains the shipping information for the judges and 6th Pile. Fill it out and fax it to me, or simply email me the contents. Full submission...

got it, thanks! (sorry for not responding earlier, obviously the thread subscription notification emailer isn't working!)

1. judges would be announced at gen con. they don't have to be there, the entire voting process would be similar to what just occurred- but in late july (after the products were voted for) 2. i (and/or my designate- teflon billy is truly fabulous when it comes to securing swag!) would be solely...

The Annual Gen Con EN World RPG Awards, aka The ENnies, is in search of a logo to use on the web site (so it can be in colour), but also in print and on merchandise (so it needs to be easy-enough-to simplify and silk-screen in only 2 colours). The ENnies are a fan-based celebration of...

At Gen Con 2006, as an afterthought on Sunday, I went around the dealer hall soliciting entries. I came home with enough product to fill a box for each judge from a variety of publishers, new and old. What I like about it is, if we have the judges announced at the ceremony, we can send them...

If I have my way, we'll announce the following year's judges at Gen Con Indy. That way they can take product home with 'em, rather than ship it, and get a head start on evaluations. With the increasing number of submissions, giving them plenty of time, I think, is a good thing!

FEBRUARY 23rd. VANKLEEK HILL, ON Voting for the 2007 Gen Con EN World RPG Awards' ("The ENnies") five coveted judge positions took place February 12-18th, and record numbers of gamers from around the globe came out in force to make their preferences known. For the first time, the ENnies...

I don't DM much, but as a player, you can usually tell when an item is important by how much time is spent describing it. If the only thing in a room is described elaborately, then the players will tend to spend more time on it, either checking for secret compartments, detecting magic etc. Of...

Because this voting booth was a bit quirky to assemble, our admin will have to close it by hand, so honestly it depends upon how much free time he has Sunday. It'll be closed no earlier than noon, and no later than Monday morning.

Sorry guys, but we're not going to list screen names. We're reducing the popularity contest (real or perceived) aspect of the screen names, and forcing people to actually look at the nominee page bios before voting. (Also, many of the candidates have multiple screen names, it would get really...

By the way, as of this evening, over 700 votes were cast- more than we've ever had in the past!

I pay for all expenses not covered by Gen Con or EN World, like extra trophies, the framed certificates, medals, booth dressing, flyers, DJ equipment, bartenders, food, etc. Then afterwards I'm reimbursed by the fund raising efforts. Unfortunately, if product doesn't sell in auctions, I'm left...

At least last year (and I hope the trend will continue), we offered publishers the chance to get a link to a product sample, put up cover shots as well as brief descriptions of each product in the hopes of educating fandom. Not only did it give fans a chance to learn more about the products in...

I agree, it was quite the travesty. Heck, I paid for that food ($900!!) and didn't get a taste! Your post makes me wonder, though... If we organized food again, would those planning on attending the ceremony pay for the priviledge of attending and having munchies and/or dinner? Also, will...

BTW in order to reduce the popularity contest factor, I decided not to include candidate screen names on the ballot. It's my effort to get people to actually read the nominee bios and force them. Plus, the names can get really long, and have multiple screen names.

Thank you, especially to everyone spreading the word on the various boards! Last year the poll for judgehood elicited 660 votes. Product nominations received over 5,000 votes. I would love it if we could break 2,000 votes for the judge nominations. But honestly, the real credit belongs to...

Voting is now live. http://www.ennieawards.com/voting.html Please take the time to read through all the nominee bios and check out the other boards' Q&A sessions. Also, it would be a great favour if peeps would please take the additional moments to answer the exit survey, thanks! Best of luck...

At the moment it looks as though you can rank each and every one of the candidates, although it's only important (due to how the Single Transferrable Vote method works) to rank your top 10-12 candidates.

Please be advised that this Saturday (the 10th) is the final day for submissions of nominations for one of the five judge positions at this year's Gen Con EN World RPG Awards. I have been uploading the entries as I receive them, usually just before heading to bed, but I plan on going out...

Agreed! From now on, judge selection will be by randomly picking one judge from each continent, regardless of whether they can read English or know anything about RPGs. One should always question the motives of any person who seeks power. Russ: I don't think he sought power. This little...
