Press [Chaosium] ENnies 2021 Voting Now Open - our community content creators need your vote!

[Michael O'Brien]

​

The ENnies are the annual fan-based celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying gaming. This year Chaosium itself did not submit any products for consideration as we've won our fair share recently (30 ENnie Awards from 34 nominations in the last five years). But we strongly encouraged the independent creators in our Miskatonic Repository and Jonstown Compendium community content programs to enter instead, and we're delighted three titles were nominated by the judges. Voting is open and they now need your support!

Here's how you can vote for Chaosium's community content creators in the 2021 ENnies!:

1. Go to the ENnies page: https://vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2021

2. Our three nominations are in the Best Organised Play category (the ENnies' term for community content).

• A Rough Guide to Glamour (Jonstown Compendium - RuneQuest)
• Citizens of the Lunar Empire (Jonstown Compendium - RuneQuest)
• Hand of Glory (Miskatonic Repository - Call of Cthulhu)

Vote for them 1,2,3 in whatever order you choose!

3. Everyone in the Chaosium team would also be flattered if you picked Chaosium in the Fan Award for Best Publisher.

4. Tell your friends who are Call of Cthulhu and RuneQuest fans to submit their vote too!

Chaosium congratulates all the nominees in this year's awards. The winners will be announced at the ENNIES Awards ceremony on September 17th, 2021 at 8:00 PM EDT.

Co-author of the ENNIE-nominated A Rough Guide to Glamour Nick Brooke says:

"Our book A Rough Guide to Glamour was the first print title and the first Gold best-seller on Chaosium’s Jonstown Compendium community store, which hosts fan-created works for the RuneQuest tabletop role-playing game and Greg Stafford’s mythic sword-and-sandal fantasy world of Glorantha on DriveThruRPG.

"It’s a propagandist gazetteer and tourist guidebook to the capital of the evil Lunar Empire. Profoundly unofficial, it’s laced with Elvis, IngSoc, Blondie and Spice Girls references (among others), and has wonderful artwork by Dario Corallo, Julie Hudson, Simon Bray and Antonia Doncheva.

"Anyway, the Guide has been nominated for this year’s Best Organized Play ENNIE Award (that’s the nearest thing my hobby has to the Oscars); you’re eligible to vote for the winner, and I would be honoured and delighted if you’d consider voting for our book."

Nick Brooke, co-author of the ENNIE nominated A Rough Guide to Glamour writes:

"My friend Chris Gidlow’s book Citizens of the Lunar Empire on Chaosium’s Jonstown Compendium community store is also in the running for this year’s Best Organized Play ENNIE Award. It’s a detailed tour of one apartment building in Glamour, capital city of the Lunar Empire. It examines everyday life in an imagined ancient city, complementing our propagandistic top-down A Rough Guide to Glamour with a view from street level, and serving as a home base for any parties of adventurers who find themselves in the big city.

"I designed the book, my daughter Sarah did the technical drawings, and our friend Dario Corallo lavishly illustrated it throughout. The cover art is by the brilliant Mark Smylie.

"The ENNIES use a ranked preferential voting system, so you can vote for both books and know that your vote will help determine the winner. Everyone is eligible to vote, and the polls are open until Friday 27 August."

Author of the ENNIE-nominated Hand of Glory Allan Carey says:

"Voting is open for the ENnies and I have been nominated for Hand of Glory. This was the fourth Call of Cthulhu scenario I wrote for the Miskatonic Repository and one of my favourites. Its pitch is 'On the bleak North Yorkshire moors, the Wych Elm pub sits nestled in the leigh of a dark woods. Isolated, alone and miles away from anywhere, a dark secret awaits any who stumble across it...'

"The Miskatonic Repository creator community is amazing and continues to go from strength to strength. You can vote for Hand of Glory in the Best Organized Play category if you fancy."
