[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1740341, member: 707"] I don't buy books based on the ENnies, per se. Which is to say I don't look at the ENnies list and think to myself, "well, I passed on the book before because it didn't interest me, but since it won an ENnie, I'd better go out and buy it." Instead, the ENnies work more subtly on my psyche. A publishing company that's won ENnies has the same effect on me as the sales pitch for a new movie "Starring Academy-Award Winning Actor ...." It makes me take notice. It makes me think that this is a product from a company with a track record for excellence. This can cause me to give a product a closer look, that at first glance I wouldn't buy. Eventually it just becomes automatic. I almost always scrutinize Malhavoc's work these days, because I know that quality will never be an issue with them. The product might not fit my game, but if it's something I think I can work with, the product will always be top notch. There are a couple other companies that are starting to earn that kind of respect from me, and winning ENnies is one solid way to make headway in that regard. [/QUOTE]
