Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 2945627" data-attributes="member: 172">Mearls has opined that WotC not submitting to the ennies gives a chance for smaller publishers to shine.While I still think it would be good for WotC to participate, in a way I see the point. Witness the fear and loathing over Shackled City, which while not WotC published, is (c) WotC and has a voting block consisting of the Dungeon readership. If it had been, oh, Barakus in the same shoes, nobody would have likely complained about its presence. Now imagine if WotC put products in the mix... you have the same thing to a bigger degree. So while I'd like to see WotC participate, I don't know if I have a good way to handle the implications.Now, that said, what are White Wolf and Palladium? Chopped liver? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In the end, if you try to see the awards as deriving the best products, you probably won't get what you are looking for.If you are looking for the most loved products, you won't get what you are looking for.If you are looking for the awards as being a way for the fans to express their appreciation for a good job by the creative forces behind some great products, and to give a bit more exposure to under-appreciated games, then you might find yourself a bit happier in the end.</blockquote>
