    Want to write an Arsenal book?

    Hi all, Yeah, things've been crazy. We've been renovating our bathroom since Christmas (fired the contractor a few weeks ago for chipping my brand new whirlpool tub), and I'm babysitting my sister's daughter in a nearby city an hour's drive away every day until the end of this week. Once...

    March Fo(u)rth for GM's Day Giveaway - Pimp Your GM!

    Hey all, I just sent out the entire electronic catalogue to Rystil and Mosvanni. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to send out a batch of products, so I had to send them one by one, so those lads'll have emails trickling in from RPGNow for the next few hours! I hope you guys like my little...

    Nope. The publishers have to submit enough copies as it is!

    ENnies Categories

    Hello ENWorlders! Last year's ENnie judges, staff members and some publishers have been discussing this year's categories for the awards, and I thought I'd solicit some feedback from the fans and voters (and besides, it'll give ENnie junkies something to do other than hit "Refresh" every hour...

    Howsabout you hold off on doing anything until we actually have a logo? I'm not trying to sound snarky, and please forgive me if I do. We need to design a logo first, and then we can look at your awesome sticker designs!

    2005 GenCon/ENnie Awards Judge Vote

    Wow. I just discovered that my geeky brain overrides my dirty mind. My first reaction was to think of what kind of ooze would make the best opponent, then my pervy self caught up with the edible dessert pudding imagery.

    Update for Publishers, some Opinions Sought

    What do you think about changing the Graphic Design & Layout category to Best Production Values, including Graphic Design & Layout, but also editing, paper feel, all those little things that add up to a product that looks and feels great overall? We decided against a Best Editing category...

    Update for Publishers, some Opinions Sought

    We've changed the wording on the Best Monster to be Monsters and Adversaries, so think that'll address the Critters / NPCs concerns. I think that breaking them down into setting-specific vs. not would split them too fine- besides, they'd be judged by basically the same criteria, no? I like...

    Update for Publishers, some Opinions Sought

    I disagree about the cream and crunch not being really separate. Quite often a writer will excel in one area, and struggle with another. There've been books where the prose really stood out and evoked an emotional response- as good art should- but where the game mechanics didn't really sing...

    Update for Publishers, some Opinions Sought

    I've updated the list based upon comments here and in the ENnies forum, and will post it just after this. We're trimming the categories all over now. Soon they shall bear the sleek look of a pricey topiary! Thank you everyone for speaking up- keep it coming! To speak to some of your...

    ENnies discussion thread

    I'm looking for logos for the ENnies- some for use on the web, some to be printed as stickers for the winning products. So if you'd like to play with designing a logo, that'd be great. All offers of artistic talent are greatly appreciated!

    Update for Publishers, some Opinions Sought

    Which half? Honestly, we cut a bunch of categories that were up for consideration! I added best Rules and Writing (formerly known as Best Crunch and Best Cream) under the premise that if other aspects of putting together a book are being rewarded (such as art, cartography, etc), then the two...

    March Fo(u)rth for GM's Day Giveaway - Pimp Your GM!

    Yes, please! It'll be easy for us to track them all, and besides, some public accolades can go a long way with some GMs (can you say "ad hoc XP bonus"?). I'll get us started: (even though I don't qualify, what with being an ENP staffer, but heck, it's never too late to try and score some bonus...
