In hindsight I guess it should have been obvious that Darrington would win Fan Favorite Publisher. You can take the WotC out of the Ennies, but 5e's gonna 5e.

 

[MGibster]

Twenty years ago, I couldn't have imagined an RPG about queer stories being published let alone seeing it win any kind of award. So congratulations to Thirsty Sword Lesbians.

 

[DonoZen]

Congrats to Sly Flourish with 2 Ennies. Mike Shea well deserves these awards.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Congrats to TSL! Great win for a great name & game! Well done!

Thrilled to see TOR2E get the art win -- very well deserved.

And congrats to all the other winners!

 

[darjr]

Acceptance speeches of those that couldn't make gencon.

 

[Piratecat]

I'm glad we were able to jump in at the last minute to emcee! And wow, thank goodness I brought actual trousers to the con.

Congrats to all the winners! ...and keep on going on with all the remaining nominees!

 

[Egg Embry]

Congratulations to all of the winners! So many great games represented on that list!

I'm interested in Colostle: A Solo RPG Adventure and it sells for a fair price. I am curious if anyone has tried it out and can comment on whether they think it's appropriate for middle-school aged kids?

 

[Tun Kai Poh]

Nice bunch of wins.

I have just realised I have become a RPG grognard. I saw that won Fan Favourite Publisher and had to Google them to find out who they were.

Revel in it. So much new cool to discover.

I am interested in The Troubleshooters - The U-Boat Mystery.

Reading a review it sounds like a sort of Tintin adventure in an alternate nineteen sixties thwarting the evil plans for world domination by the secret organization known as The Octopus.

Has anyone read it or better yet played it?

 

[Weiley31]

That "Best Setting" had a number of top contenders in it this year. Glad to see though that Jiangshi and Tal'Dorei were the top winners though.

I mean, I’m aware of Critical Role, know who they are and what they do, but I obviously don’t know them well enough to know the name of their publishing arm.

Sadly, of my group of 7, I’m probably the most well informed!

Congratulations to all the Winners! 8D

There are quite a few of these games that I have to try . I personally love that Sly Florish got two Awards, his Products helped me immensely .. so well deserved IMHO!

By the Way, how are the Rules of Thirsty Sword Lesbians? I don't think that my group will be interested in that theme (not big into romance stories and sex is a no go), but are the Rules alone worth it?
