Hey all,
We're going to be opening up nominations for next year's ENnie Awards, and I'm seeking input into what questions you would like candidates to answer.
Last year's questions are below.
1. When did you join the RPG hobby and what inspired you to become involved and stay with it?
2. Since you joined the hobby, what roles have you played (e.g. vending, professional writing and publishing, reviewing, convention organizing, homebrewing, playing, GMing, etc.)?
3. The ENnies require a major commitment of time and mental energy. What resources do you bring that will help you discharge these responsibilities? Will your gaming group or other individuals be assisting you?
4. What interests, experience and skills do you bring from outside the hobby that you think will make you a more effective judge?
5. What styles and genres of RPGs do you enjoy most? Are there any styles or genres that you do not enjoy? Which games best exemplify what you like?
6. What system do you think is best designed? Is it the one you play most?
7. What games have you played in the past year? List up to 10 RPGs you have played the most.
8. Briefly summarize the criteria you will use for judging products in the different categories. How will you deal with comparing products of vastly disparate lengths, medium (PDF vs. print), or mechanics to prose ratios? Will innovation and originality play a major role?
9. How will you judge supplements or adventures for game systems whose core rules you are unfamiliar with or you believe are badly designed? What about for systems that are out of print?
10. How would you like to see the ENnies change (categories, policies, etc)? What should remain inviolate?
BONUS: (optional) If you were an RPG, what would it be, and would you play it?
Any suggestions for something new, or rewording? I would like to keep it close to 10 questions if at all possible.
