Thanks! It can be fun and rewarding, or we wouldn't still do it. It's just so hard (and contrary to my nature...) not to jump down someone's throat when they post stuff that's not only mean or disparaging but usually wildly wrong. But then you get something like the acceptance speech for...

Some things never change. Frankly, were it not for the happy people posting the day the noms are announced and right after the ceremony, I'd have gotten 'dis-involved' a long time ago.

Yes. Submitters have to attest to the presence of any AI content, risk (at the least) disqualification if they fail to, and AI content isn't eligible for any relevant award (ie, if there was AI art it couldn't be nominated in the art categories, probably layout and design, maybe production...

FYI, I added a checkbox to the online submission form for this year to indicate solo playability. This shouldn't be construed as a committment to a Solo Game category, but it will help us get a better idea of its feasibility going forward.

I hope so. I'm always a little suspicious as to whether it's showing me things because they're really trending or if it's just a feedback loop.

I ran it twice at GenCon and like it a lot. Very fail-forward, encourages wild and stupid things from the players, and is fairly rules light.

Updated the website.

Morrus turned it over to Stacy Muth in 2018 so he could focus on publishing with no conflict of interest IIRC. ENWorld hasn't had any affiliation since then. There is a core group of 4 volunteers who run it year-round with more people who help during Gen Con. Plus the yearly panel of judges...

I'll get the website updated when I get back from Gen Con

Not stuck with it per-se, in that there's no one who can tell us "You have to do X". But there would be push-back and some hurt feelings because it's a decision that would be driven by the number of submissions, which we wouldn't know ahead of time. So nominations would come out, there...

Yeah, we would get so much grief for removing a category, it's not something undertaken lightly. Last year's changes were relatively minor (renaming/realigning 'podcast' and 'community content' and splitting adventures) and were under discussion for a couple years if not longer.

New categories are considered every year, but the bar is pretty high, as there's already a ton (some would say "too many" after sitting through the awards show...) . I'll add it to the list for the annual post-show meeting when we discuss any upcoming changes, though. I have no easy way right...

Wasn't submitted, was it? Can't win if you don't play. https://ennie-awards.com/current-submissions/

Any time someone bumps it it gets some traffic. Epi used to joke that he could tell when someone bumped it because he'd get a couple new sales of Dread. But lots of folks (including Piratecat) are busy at GenCon right now. What are your ideas?

Having a gaming weekend starting Thursday with a bunch of friends, some of whom are casual and/or relatively new to gaming. Going to use this opportunity to dust off my "MIA" Dread game. Bodies appearing on the border of Miami International Airport and the Everglades during the Miami Vice era.

WotC should just throw some money at the guy that did the fan-created tools for FFG's Star Wars game. Better than Hero Lab, much less anything WotC or their contractors have ever managed.

You said: You're playing a game where you take on the roles of heroic people facing terrible odds and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. If they'll only do things when they're likely to succeed, there's no point in playing the game. So either the GM is being overly punitive when they...

I think the OP has unrealistic expectations as to how quickly quality material can be written and published. Even a big RPG has a small team, and there's little point in spending time and money on modules before the core game is done. And even after that game is done and you're waiting for it...
