2005 ENnie Nominations

[Dextra]

I am pleased and honoured to announce the nominations for the 2005 Gen Con EN World RPG Awards. On behalf of the judges and the Board of Directors, I would like to congratulate those nominated, and indeed, everyone for their work in the past year. Some of the categories were quite contentious with some fine submissions making for more than one close call.

[alsih2o]

And....it is on.


Best of luck to all.

 

[Psion]

Congratulation to all the hard working and talented individuals nominated.

And a special tip'o'the'hat to those who have not previously been recognized by the ENnies!

 

[DaveMage]

I guess WotC didn't enter again this year...

Hats off to BiggusGeekus for Murchad’s Legacy (Parent’s Basement Games)!

Would it be possible to denote the game system that each of the nominees are in? I certainly have no clue about some of the ones above and I'm sure others are in the same boat.

Thanks!

 

[Ghostwind]

Congratulations to the nominees. Gonna be some interesting results this year given the competition in the categories.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

My thanks to all of the judges for their hard work, and of course for the honor of our nomination.

Congratulations to all of the other nominees!

 

[BiggusGeekus]

I think I just had an ENniegasm.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Congratulations to all the nominees. This year there were many, many excellent entries. I know I had a very difficult time narrowing my choices down in many categories (and from the discussions we had, so did the other judges). Best of luck to everyone in the voting!

 

[Michael Morris]

Dextra, is that the order that the awards will be announced in? (I must have the order right before I open the booth).

EDIT: Nevermind - I'll launch it with this order - it can't be that far off and it's not that important that the voting list matches the order given out anyway (IMO)
