Fan's Choice for Best Publisher Nomination Thread

[howandwhy99]

Since Goodman Games has already been seconded, I'll second Paradigm Concepts. Living Arcanis and their Codex Arcanis support are top notch. A real undervalued world and company.

I'm thirding WotC

 

[philreed]

Since a lot of companies I like have been nominated, I'll nominate SkeletonKey Games.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Fantasy Flight Games for continued support of the Midnight setting with a box set and for the soon to be released 2nd edition of Midnight.

 

[EricNoah]

("Obvious and unnecessary advice" withdrawn.)

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

(And I would remind people it’s their own vote and no one else’s. End Transmission.)

 

[zacharythefirst]

I don't see Iron Crown Enterpirses on that list, and they're the single-most helpful RPG company I've ever run across. They are fan-driven, and have done an incredible job with their new HARP line. Hopefully they can get a 2d here.

 

[MoogleEmpMog]

In that case...

I'll switch my vote to Mongoose Publishing.

 

[Ghostwind]

I'd like to nominate Bastion Press (whom I've done work for in the past) for their willingness to put quality of work ahead of quantity of work, especially with the Oathbound setting.

I'd like to nominate Paradigm Concepts.

They're involvement in the RPGA through Living Arcanis is untouchable. Sure, they may not be the belles of the ball here on ENWorld, but when you see them in action at a convention, it's an RPG force of nature: they don't get time to socialize, the whole team is constantly running events.

I'm sure it's been done already, but I'd like to second, third, fourth, and fifth this nomination. The personal dedication of Henry Lopez and his staff to their customers is absolutely unparalleled in this industry. By a long, long shot. Living Arcanis is an amazing phenomenon.

These are some of the hardest working professionals in the industry, and the folks they have plugged into their campaign are among the most dedicated fans I've met.

The rest of the "d20 industry," particularly the smaller publishers, could learn a great deal by watching how Paradigm Concepts conducts themselves at conventions, and those lessons would go right to the bottom line.
