[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2943882, member: 20741"] Perhaps the discussion of Adventure vs. Campaign Setting is beside the point. I think the point is something else entirely: the perception that a Paizo monster product could be considered for two different main categories allows them to win both (in all probability) and then grab the Product of the year as well. Is [I]Who Framed Roger Rabbit [/I] a live action movie? Yes. Is it an animated movie? Undoubtedly. Should it be eligible to win an Oscar in both categories? No - and that's the real practical point under discussion. Suggestion: if this is with respect to "main category" the judges can pick one. It is also eligible for Product of the year if it qualifies, of course. The exclusion rule ought to apply to main categories : it should not apply if you are talking about *technical* awards. This means that a product can have only one main category nomination - but if it's interior artwork is up to snuff - it can still qualify for an award for that too (or some other technical award it qualifies for, say, maps). This really does address the essence of the main complaint here. Rasyr sees his Cyradon got an honorable mention and was on the edge of getting in for Best Setting. He didn't make it in - and instead saw [I]SCAP[/I] in "his" category as well as another "main" category. This struck him as both unexpected and unjust and off we go... If the judges do not perceive the essence of the complaint as a response to a perceived injustice - then that's another issue entirely - and one to be resolved in the fullness of time after the passage of same.
