[QUOTE="bowbe, post: 3026088, member: 6328"] Rather than Best Game... How about Best New Game This being a new spun game and not a revision of some other rules set or classic. I'm flexible on this however because hey, I'm a fan of Deadlands. Their new version wouldn't by definition be a "new game" but would get a vote from me in some way shape or form were it nominated. While I'm thinking of it, why not have: Best Game Derived from a Previous Source (should one come up) This year we had 2nd editions of M&M and Spycraft... both old games but newer and better versions of those games. Likewise the well deserved gold for Shadowrun. None of those were "new" games but all are good and all are popular and all deserved some form of nomination in my book. So Best New Game Best D20 Product Best Derived or Revised Game (Thinking Runequest, Deadlands here...) Best OGL Game ( I know ruffles were feathered or vice versa by some folks who flatly do NOT want to be associated with the d20 license but are in fact games derived from the OGL). They deserve their seperate place. I realize it's 4 awards but I think it would deliniate what they were nominated for and make a good number of folks quite happy. Also... No to the T-shirts, coffee mugs and beer coozies or chip dishes. Yes to differentiating an award for miniatures and one for game organizational stuff (Best Aid or Accessory). Miniatures being a Best Miniature award. Mini's really need their own award. For everyone who claims they never use miniatures or print out Claudio's awesome counters to run their game because it "cheapens" their imaginative RP experience I will show you somebody with a used booklet of graph paper filled with little arrows, circles, squares and the like they used to explain a complicated RP scene. Or a bag full of fuzz covered jellybeans that have served the same purpose as a miniature without the artistic endeavor taken to sculpt and create a tiny, beautiful (or even horrific) work of art. Best Aid or Accessory should totally be the cool Game organizational stuff. All the trinkets such as spell cards, dunjinni, campaign cartographer and so on that make GMing and playing a game fun and efficient. And you are correct Best anything could still compete for best product. No doubt about it. Thanks for everything Dextra. Peace Casey [/QUOTE]
