How many products nominated for an ENnie do you own/are you familiar with?

[johnsemlak]

I was browsing through the categories and preparing to vote and I began to realize that I have very few of the products that were nominated.

I do have a reasoably large d20 collection but not extensive,I can say I own multiple products by nearly all the well known publishers, and I have a large PDF collection. Many of my products are from last year or previous, so that's part of it.

I do have a hard time getting (print) d20 releases soon after their released where I live so that's also part of it.

I think though, after diving into several d20 lines, I've gone back to buying WotC products more exclusively (which weren't nominated at all). I still buy third part stuff but I'm definitely more choosy.

Also, I'm not familiar with any of the non-d20 products.

Anyway, this lack of familiarity definitely makes it difficult to choose, so 'not familiar with the product' will be by far my most common vote, sometime wholesale for a category.

Just wondering if others are having the same experience.

EDIT: Voting has now begun. Anyway, sorry for the confusion I created earlier.

I have 3 or 4 products in most of the categories. but there are a couple of categories that I have nothing of. So generally I am in the same boat as you. I would imagine most of us are.

Well, to be more specific, there are quite a few categories where I own none of the products, or maybe one of them. I certainly don't own three or four products in many (any, I believe) of the product categories.

Hmmm. I've only got 5 of the d20 products: Legends of Excalibur, Oester, Redhurst, Torn Asunder and Conan.

I've read Black Sails over Freeport. I've flipped through some of the other adventures. If I had the money, I would probably buy them all except the X-crawl one (I like X-crawl, but I just can't afford to follow the setting. Or have time to run it.).

I used to have Chaosium: Dark Ages, but sold it. (It would not get my vote for best non-d20 RPG. Though it's not bad, it's just, eh, well, not nearly as good as I hoped. And it's not even set in the Dark Ages! It's set in A.D. 1000, which most historians consider to be the start of the medieval period (The Darks Ages being from the fall of Rome to A.D. 1000)

i'm a D&D addict. so i stick to basically only purchases i can use for my D&D campaign.

i guess i have 12 of the products in the 2004 Ennies nominations.

and most of those are adventures. i've never heard of the one i don't have in that group... Xcrawl: Emperor's Cup 4700

I have them all

Not counting what I got for being a judge, I had a few here and there.

Most historians don't use the term "Dark Ages" any longer, either.

Cheers,

I only have Arcana Unearthed, Adventure! d20, and the Complete Book of Eldritch Might.

Wait a second... Is the voting already open somewhere?

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

I do not have very many of them.

Which is one thing I like about the ENnies--it brings new products to my attention that I otherwise might have overlooked.
