I may be missing out of something good as a result, but I have, in the past, found the more militant fans of certain game systems so annoying as to put me right off the game. (GURPS being the number one instance.) And I say this in spite of having some very old ICE stuff, and have fond memories of even older ones (The Iron Wind, anyone?).I gather that I have been lucky not to meet rabid D20 players, and I hope that luck continues. At this point I have enough invested in both money and time that I would be unlikely to relegate the game to the dustbin, but.... Please folks, don't be quite so rabid in defense of your games, it serves as anti-advertising. Don't complain that 'No one voted for/nominated [insert system here] so I am going to take my bat and ball and go home!' It comes across as unprofessional, and smacks of sour grapes. Sometimes it is simply that the game/product was too low profile, and other times it just faced stiff competition. I like All Flesh Must Be Eaten, but I do not recall it winning an ENNIE, or even being nominated. So, I shrug and move on. (And I could be wrong, I am unfamiliar enough with past winners of the ENNIEs that it might have swept the ENNIEs like Peter Jackson and the Oscars. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> )Anywho, I do not expect to see many non-D20 games being nominated for an award from a D20 site, any more than I expect a Siamese cat to win Best of Breed at a dog show. When they do get nominated, or win, they must be pretty darned astounding.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
