I've only heard of a handful of these products. I guess I'm not as well-read about the hobby as I thought.
Best of luck to all the nominees.

My Dad’s Monster Manual! I’m biased though.

I'm cheering for Brancalonia specifically and Fria Ligan generally. I wouldn't mind seeing Alice is Missing win best rules either.

Guess I'm a bit out of the loop - I used to know a larger fraction of the nominees in previous years (probably ~1/3 this time).

Same here. I only recognized two items on the entire list of all nominees...and of those two, I've only read one. I guess I don't follow the indie game scene as closely as I thought I did.

Used to not be as indie. It had major releases from the big publishers back in the day.

nb Chaosium itself did not submit any products for consideration for this year's awards.

"We've won our fair share of ENnies recently – 30 ENnie Awards from 34 nominations in the last five years. We're giving other, smaller, publishers an opportunity, and encouraged the independent creators in our community content programs to enter instead," said Chaosium vice president Michael O'Brien.
