[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 1039796, member: 3060"] The points both Teflon Billy and Coyote raised are valid and illustrate a hole in my thinking. Obviously not every observation or suggestion has an adequate solution. I was commenting on what I perceived to be an uncharacteristic amount of wins by two products that, while good and deserving of awards, were quite predictable in their outcomes after the first couple. Maybe it's just due to my experience with the industry and its products, but I sat in the back and accurately predicted every outcome save one after the first two awards. This is one reason why I wondered if limiting the products to a single category would help prevent landslide victories such as we've seen. Call it thinking out loud and trying to provoke discussion that results in ways that will better improve the awards. At no time have I explicitly stated that the awards were broke and the results fixed. No awards system is perfect and even though the Ennies have improved greatly, there is always room for refinement to make it better and more representative of the vast amount of quality products out there. Such is the point of my arguments. In my opinion, the Ennies should strive to be more than just a fan award based upon a small community (yes, in the bigger picture of gaming, it is a small community) of online gamers who share a common love. It should ultimately become an award that inspires the entire d20 industry (or potentially the RPG industry depending on the future) to go for the gold, so to speak. It should welcome the votes of all gamers and not just those who elect to hang out at EN World. But that's just my opinion and probably not one shared by many others here. :) [/QUOTE]
