[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 2479345, member: 3397"] Counter-intuitive or not, the rules for the awards, as handed down by GenCon, is that the awards have to be RPG-specific and CANNOT move into non-RPG territory... such as fiction, wargames, mini games, collectible mini games, collectible card / dice games, card games, dice games, etc. Lets step away from minis for another example of crossover like this: Back in the last days of the CyberPunk 2020 RPG, a book was released with the rules to be able to use the netrunner card game cards as an accessory for netrunning in the game.
