The publishers already give away free product to the judges and in the case of published material that can hurt the small guys.  Then again, the cost of the awards is a pain.  I really don't know.Why the maximum cap?Why the max cap?If I were a writer nominating myself for the work I'd done under a superior editor, I'd send in the published manuscript.  I'm not trying to cause grief, but I'd rather point this stuff out in a "tough love" kind of way.This would include games like Arcana Unearthed though. Just clairifiying.This looks good.Why just 80%?Looks good.::shrug::A prolific small publisher would get boned in the second.  A subsidiary of a major company would always win the first.No. If othergamingsite.com wants to particiapte in judging they can have their own booth at Gen Con.  ENWorld got to where it is the hard way.  The owners and maintainers of ENWorld have nothing to apologize for.  There are PLENTY of other categories that other sites can honor.  Frankly, I think there should be a couple of "d20 only" subdivisions on your list.  ENWorld is primarily a d20 site.  There is nothing stopping The Forge or RPG.net from doing the exact same thing ENWorld does.   Here I'm a little more wobbly.  However, I'd still prefer that we recruit within ENWorld.  These are our awards and there is nothing, nothing wrong with being proud of that.Just my two cents.</blockquote>
