These could be set out to FLGS to be displayed and sold. While most consumers wouldn't purchase one, some would and may display it where their friends, likely also interested in the RPG world, would see it. But purchasing isn't it's main point. Simply having the word ENies floating around people's heads gives it more power when they see the logo on some hardcover they run across. Posters would be a traditional means of that happening.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magazine articles. I assume this already happens in most cases but I don't happen to be rolling in the money necisary to get a subscription to Dragon or Dungeon. A simple spread, detailing a few of the winning products is always a good idea.</li> </ul>Okay, that turned out more basic than I thought it would. Perhaps after I get some sleep. . . You know, not to be eletist or anything, but they are the ENies. I wholly support RPG.net putting together the RPG.net awards or something but, really, they just don't have a place in this competition. I think the position stemed from the premise that we cater to d20 products heavily. I can't argue with that. Instead, I'll mention that ENWorld was designed around the posterchild for d20, Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition. As such, we attract those who play that game and other games with d20 mechanics. It really was expected from the beginning (and, in fact, hoped for). It just seems natural for us to focus on what the EN community is based on. If the fans the awards represent are biased towards d20, then, really, I'd expect the awards to themselves lean in that direction.</blockquote>
