D&D 5E Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel a Nebula Award finalist!

Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel has been nominated for a Nebula Award finalist for game writing.

Although this category is normally about video games, last year this category included four tabletop RPGs -- Coyote & Crow, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Wanderhome, and Gramma's Hands. Evil Hat's Fate Accessiblity Toolkit made the list in 2019, and Scents and Siesmosos appeared in 2020.

is it just me, but is it weird that Video Game writing and TTRPG game writing are in the same award catogory? I just think they should be seperate catogories.

Yeah, it feels a little "apples and oranges pears" to me, too. I'm guessing there's not enough of either sort of writing to justify their own separate categories, so they merge the two into broader "game writing." Perhaps the two will split in the future.

There is tons of both types of writing in any given year.

Hopefully as interest grows it’ll get its own category.

Oh, there's plenty of writing out there. It's just a backwards thinking category.

Game writing wasn't added until 2018. It's the first completely new award and only the third since they launched in 1966. SFWA is pretty slow to change.
