I know it was just a solution for the weird times we live in, but it was actually nice to be able to watch this online (well, at least partly, as it started at 2am for me).

The event has been streamed online for years.

Weird, I never realized that. I guess it needed the buzz of Gencon Online to make me realize that's a thing. I guess I will also check it out next year, then

 

[Maggan]

Congrats to all winners and to all that were nominated!

 

[Egg Embry]

Some excellent games taking home the awards!

 

[Tyler Pickering]

I've never heard of or seen almost all of these products. Should I be delving more into these obscure RPGs?

 

[Von Ether]

Congrats to all the winners and the nominees. There were so much good stuff this year.

 

[Jeff Carpenter]

Always looking for a good adventure I clicked on "A Pound of Flesh" and this was the product description.

"A Pound of Flesh is a toolkit for building your own run-down, back-water, black market space station. And all in a compact zine format."

I'm confused is it a adventure or a supplement?

Good for it and it looks interesting just not sure it's in the right category.

If you want! They’re very good!
