Monte's PDFs would not be eligible, RPGObjects would not be eligible, last year's winner, and the clearest example of how electronic products can, and do, break out, MMSWE also was in print by the time of the Ennies, and thus would have been ineligble under this system.Phil Reed is also going print with his titles. In short, I don't think is fair, because one way the best PDF titles are consistently recognized is through a print run. Also products in print are going PDF all the time. These two media, once totally seperate fields, move closer all the time. Companies that do one are doing both more and more consistently. GURPs is preparing to do PDF runs of out of print books, WOTC does this, Bastion and Mongoose do PDFs on occasion, etc.My recommendation would be to judge the product in the medium in which it first appeared. If it was printed and then went PDF, its a print product. If it was PDF and then went print, its a PDF product. I realize this recommendation has disadvantages. Id certainly like my books to be considered *both* for example. However, the line has to be drawn somewhere, and with PDF and Print products, that line gets a little more blurred all the time.Chuck</blockquote>
