However, at the core, the awards are still the ENnies, and ENWorld is the main sponsor of the awards. It's not the RPGNeties, not the Gamingreporties, not the Nothinglandies. ENWorld takes the responsibility for putting on the awards, and the judges should come from here until someone else steps up and takes on the cost of producing the show and awards.     Ugh. 10 products? No way. That would make for some bad decisions. In some categories this year we didn't have 10 entries. That would mean allowing all the entries in, even if they aren't very good. No, I say leave it at 5, and if there are some categories where there needs to be a runoff among the judges, then allow 6 (this would take care of the Honorable Mention concerns mentioned by some people).      Yes! By all means, yes. AFAIK Joseph sent an email to all the nominated publishers, but we had to scramble to find addresses for a few of them this year. Having them provide images would certainly make the slide presentation easier to put together, and the booth presentation as well.       No, don't split them by size. If they are good, they are good, regardless of company size.      I think there needs to be a core group of awards that are given every year, with the others changing as the market dictates on a year by year basis.     Maybe. I kind of like this category. Many official websites are not just a place to advertise, but are a community and source of good information.      Yes, I agree. I championed the Licensed category this year, and some of the other judges said it shouldn't be there. I persisted, and we had the category. Looking back, we probably shouldn't have, but thats ok. The other categories can all be combines with the main category (adventure, setting, etc) and all be judged together. For most of these categories, the only difference is the mechanics, ie. an adventure is still an adventure.     With the amount of revised books this year, some of us felt it was a good category to have. Next year may be different, and not necessary.      I agree completely. This is where the awards started, and they should remain a presence in the awards, regardless of the other awards that may change.     No. There is far to much overlap. Just for example, suppose next year SJG releases a new edition of Cthulhupunk. Where does it go? Horror or SF? What about something like Dragonstar-SF or Fantasy? Delta Green-Horror or Modern? What about GURPS? Where does the whole system go?      Yes. It's unfortunate that the award wasn't given this year, but that was out of our control. I'd love to see it return next year.       I like the list, but I'd even consider combining Setting & Setting Supplement into one category.</blockquote>
