[QUOTE="Vascant, post: 2940104, member: 13927"] To a point you are correct because thru this I myself have learned that the ENnies are not a reflection of excellence in role playing games, they are simple "What 5 people like". I think one email said it best and comes from a person inside the ENnies, "Perhaps this year's crop of judges was jaded on software, or really focused on tabletop role-playing accessories (hence the flip-mat and minis nominations).". This does best describe the results, the judging panel was biased against software or the judges/ENnies do not view software as a part of tabletop role-playing accessories. I have my current laugh, 5 judges said software and (Biased) NPC Designer are not part of gaming in their eyes and yet I wonder how many nominated products sold 29 (34 now since started writing posts and email replies) copies since yesterday at noon? In retrospect what is success? Is it the thousands of customers who enjoy your work, 5 judges who seemed to have very little understanding of the industry or the ranking your product as compared to others...I got 600+ emails last night (No don't expect a reply) but I did go thru and read some and one said it best, "each week your software saves me countless hours, hours that I can use to spend time with my daughter, wife or gaming more". I have read statements like this before but at this moment, it was what I needed to read because that is success, no product in the ENnies can say they give time back to people every week. It being my 40th birthday yesterday, time suddenly has new meaning from all the old jokes I heard. [/QUOTE]
