For 15 years I've been dissatisfied with industry awards (mostly the Origins Awards) because of the inequities of the "playing field" as it were. And I've both seen it from the perspective of both the big guy and the little guy and no matter how you do it it's unsatisfying.Imagine, for example, you have an acting award. The contestants are Harrison Ford and two great actors who appear in local plays. Harrison Ford wins. Everyone rolls their eyes and says, "of course Harrison Ford won, he's Harrison Ford for goodness sake. What a silly award." If one of the other actors wins, everyone rolls their eyes and says, "yeah, right. Like that nobody should beat Harrison Ford. What a silly award."I've seen it happen, over and over again, every year, on every award. The role playing game industry is weird in that there's always been one huge company and lots of tiny companies. In the d20 "industry" the size differences are even greater.</blockquote>
