People can only vote for things they know. As even ENWorld has a high percentage of people who never touch any d20 products other than those from WotC, they would have most probably collected the most votes, regardless of their relative quality. It will not surprise me if they win the fan award, either.In this sense, I don't feel completely comfortable with my own votes, either. Although I like quite a few non-d20 RPG's, I only know maybe half of those on the nomination list. I'm not really into supers, and without having the possibility to look at those games, I could not even vote for them in the art category. My most questionable omission might be my failure to look at the plethora of nWoD entries, because I personally loathe those games. Nevertheless, there is some kind of guilty feeling that I even did not give the entries enough of a chance to harvest a vote in an art or style category. Then there's Burning Wheel; this game looks as if I might really like it, but I didn't manage to have a look at it during the voting period. This means: no vote from me.I suppose most people vote somehow along similar lines. That's why I think WotC entries would win most categories where they would be nominated, whether they were good or not. At least I knew most of the d20 entries and felt pretty comfortable in my votes in that field.</blockquote>
