[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5264221, member: 177"] I understand that, but I'll restate the question others have been asking, and maybe that'll make something clear... You yourself admit that Paizo makes good stuff. So, it is not unreasonable that they get some nominations. Even having a large number of nominations is not sufficient to indicate judge bias. If Paizo outright published more products than anyone else, you might expect to see more nominations, for example. Or maybe Paizo just had a really good year, and made a stack of good products! However, if it can be shown that the judges frequently [I]passed up products that were arguably better[/I] than Paizo's, then you might have a case. So, can you name some worthy products that got passed up? If not, your feelings of bias would seem... poorly founded from where I (and perhaps some of the others) sit. You're still free to have those feelings, of course, but if you're going to publicly proclaim that they look biased to you, and kind of disparage the judges in the process, you really ought to be ready to back that up - extraordinary claims, and all that.
