Since there's no news update until Monday, I thought you guys would be interested in this (and yes, also because I'm self-promoting):
Origins Awards 2009 | Critical Hits

Of particular note, D&D 4e Player's Handbook lost to the Mouse Guard RPG.

Anyone have any experience with Mouseguard? I hadn't heard of it before.

The Pandemic players will be happy as it won for board games.

 

[Crothian]

It is done through voting of people who goto Origins and Wizards really has no presence there anymore.

Mousguard is based on the graphic novel of the same name. It uses a lite Burning Wheel system.

Thanks, Dave!

Thanks to everyone at Origins who voted for Worlds of D&D in the fiction category, and to all the writers and artists who worked on the book!

Cheers,
James Lowder

An RPG based on a light version of the "Burning Wheel"-system, which was the "ancestor" of the "Burning Empires" system.

Congrats to all the winners and participants!

Wow, there's a Highlander Card Game?

Color me amazed.

Interesting to see how many things totally unknown to me were nominated.
