[sevenbastard]

Judges’ Spotlight Winner

The Grey on black category names are imposible to read.

 

[Rabulias]

The Grey on black category names are imposible to read.

To clarify, when using the Dark theme.

 

[jolt]

It's also hard to distinguish between the different entries with the first word of every line being orange.

 

[Sir Brennen]

It's also hard to distinguish between the different entries with the first word of every line being orange.

Yeah, the "Author, Art, Editing" etc. should be bullet pointed or something under each entry title.

 

[Aldarc]

No offense is intended to the quality of these products, but this feels a bit like a slow year.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

The best supplement category is brutal. Most of those would walk away with the category in any other year.

 

[Reynard]

I thought Outgunned Adventure was a standalone game?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I thought Outgunned Adventure was a standalone game?

It also works as a supplement to the original. They probably entered it in both categories.

[Reynard]

See also: The Bear winning Emmys for comedy despite definitely not being a comedy.

I mean, i don't know what the "rules" are and who decides what categories things go in for the ENNIES.

I do know that The Bear definitely creates a lot of anxiety and feels for a "comedy."
