[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3322503, member: 10177"] Well then explain to me/us how you feel this way when a very non-d20 product took top honors last year? Shadowrun is about d6 dice pools, d20's aren't even used. So if your fears are as substantiated as you feel they are, explain/show me why they are with Shadowrun's huge wins last year. I felt that VII by White Wolf should have beat out some of the winners in a couple of categories last year, but I chalk that up simply to it being a fan based award. Plus I felt that way without even having bought it, just from reading posts and looking through it at the store. Obviously the ENNIEs Judges agreed with me up to a point last year, since it was nominated in several categories. Just the fans felt different. Now you might reply that is due to ENWorld favoritism, but then again you would have to convince me about Shadowrun first. HARP is a very good game. It has certain rules I don't like, but every system, even my favorites, get house ruled by me when I run them. After having run it for for less than 12 hours this year I think it is a very great system and I really like the feel of how magic works. So I have to ask why HARP didn't get better reception last year, but you have to admit the competition was darn good competition. Tough decisions had to be made. Its the whole reason "Honorable Mentions" were even created last year, as well as the "Judges Special Award" category. The judges said, in many posts, and at the awards themselves, there was a lot of really good stuff available last year that they had to eliminate to get only 5 nominee's per category. Anyways, I look forward to seeing your thoughts about Shadowrun. [/QUOTE]
