[QUOTE="Rasyr, post: 3322391, member: 2855"] They have had their own website for a couple of years now. Haven't seen any forums on them though, and I looked over the site quite well before making my post here. I went to [url]http://www.ennieawards.com/index.html[/url] and looked again. Still no sign of forums dedicated to the ENnies, sorry. Last year they had a thread on rpg.net about judge selection. This year, there wasn't any (again, I looked BEFORE I posted). This is about more than just my not seeing any effort on the part of the ENnies to become an industry award rather than just a d20 awards with minor industry colorization. This is also about unclear and quite frankly, arbritrary rules that allow the judges to move products into and out of categories for their own purposes, the lack of transparency of the processes (what are the judging points of each category, how is the voting done, etc..), etc... Changing the rules between the time the judges are elected and the time that final submissions are done is not the answer either (like was mentioned to be elsewhere). There is no time for a publisher to study them or review them or do anything along those lines. Now next year, perhaps ICE might participate again if the rules changes that are made seem equitable and fair and if the ENnies Awards are more independent as well. Also, so long as no more rule changes are intended to be performed at the last minute. Personally, I don't think that it is equitable or fair that an oversized module can be dumped into a category that was supposedly judging the entire product just because a judge thought it had enough setting elements to be in both. If this last was the case, then [b]what is the percentage of setting required?[/b] Cause that means that just about every module can then be reviewed under setting as well if it contained enough setting elements in it to cross that magical percentage threshold.
