[QUOTE="Cthulhu's Librarian, post: 2479328, member: 11064"] The Origins Awards have a couple miniature categories, I believe. Best Individual Mini, Best Miniatures Game, and one or two others. You can't include everything in the awards. I personally sometimes use Lego minifigs in my game, and have on occasion used wooden building blocks or even Hot Wheels cars. Should they be included, just because someone uses them? I don't think the answer for that is yes, therefore the McFarlane Dragons and other toys, cool as they are (and I own a few), can't be eligible. And the other games that you name from GW and Wizkids, while they have applications in RPGs, are designed as miniature games. So they are out. Our mandate, handed down from GenCon LLC, is that we are to be the RPG Awards, and only the RPG Awards. No miniatures awards, no other game awards. RPGs, and specifically told that we cannot have a miniatures category. There is no way around that. A line has to be drawn somewhere. We have been given that line, and we work with it. [/QUOTE]
