The ENnies Dream Dates are an important part of the Gen Con EN World RPG Awards fundraising efforts. The ENnies have substantial running costs, and these costs are met mainly through the Dream Date and product auction programs each year.
The first of the ENnies 2012 Dream Dates have gone live. These, as always, are auctioned on eBay. This first pair of actions is Paizo Publishing (who are always very supportive of the ENnies) and WotC (which has been incredibly generous this year - seriously, that prize is a doozy):
Paizo Publishing
This year, the highest bidder will meet Erik Mona, Jason Bulmahn, Sean K Reynolds, James Jacobs, and other Paizo staff at the cocktail reception starting at 6:30pm and sit with them during the 2012 ENnie Awards ceremony taking place at Gen Con on Friday, August 17th, at 8:00pm in the Grand Ballroom of Union Station.
You will also receive a copy of our new Rise of the Runelords hardcover signed by all of the authors and Wayne Reynolds. (Authors are James Jacobs, Richard Pett, Nicolas Logue, Wolfgang Baur, Stephen S. Greer, and Greg A. Vaughan).
Wizards of the Coast
The winner will receive the following package:
In addition to your dream date(s), you'll receive:
Winning bidder must sign Wizards' D&D Next playtesting terms and conditions, Non-Disclosure Agreement, and publicity release form. Dates must occur on the calendar days scheduled by Wizards.
