As Eric pointed out, WotC didn't really qualify for many of the categories.  I'd say, rather, that the excellence of the products put out by so many of the other D20 publishers in the past year is a sign that Ryan Dancy's vision has come to pass.  D&D is now safe in the hands of the fans, who are pouring all their love and creativity into it.Consider, for example, Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe.  This is an incredible product, which won three ENnies (if you count the two for the free web product, Magical Medieval City Guide, which is really selections from the book).  But it was created by regular gamers, like you and me, who have Real Jobs, and who will probably just make enough money from MMS:WE to finance their next project.  Small scale?  Sure.  But a brilliant piece of work, nonetheless.No, there is no conspiracy here.  Nor is there bias.  Instead there is a huge pool of talent, that finally has a shot at sharing their vision with the rest of us.  It is indeed a good time to be a gamer.</blockquote>
