[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 711365, member: 53"] [b]Some History[/b] Here's the history of the Best Roleplaying Game/Rules at the Origins awards: It doesn't exist until 1977. In 1977 Dungeons & Dragons wins it (indeed, wins "All Time Best Roleplaying Rules," "Greatest Contribution to the Hobby" & "Adventure Gaming Hall of Fame.") In 1978, there isn't any roleplaying in the Origins Awards. "Best Roleplaying Rules" 1979 - Commando - SPI 1980 - Dragonquest - SPI 1981 - Call of Cthulhu - Chaosium 1982 - Behind Enemy Lines - FASA 1983 - James Bond 007 - Victory Games 1984 - Twilight: 2000 - GDW 1985 - DC Heroes RPG - Mayfair Games 1986 - Ghostbusters - West End Games 1987 - Star Wars - West End Games 1988 - GURPS Basic Set, 3rd Edition - Steve Jackson Games 1989 - Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition - TSR 1990 - King Arthur Pendragon, 3rd Edition - Chaosium 1991 - Vampire: The Masquerade - White Wolf 1992 - Shadowrun, 2nd Edition - FASA 1993 - Traveller: The New Era - GDW 1994 - Castle Falkenstein - R. Taslorian Games 1995 - Mage: The Ascension, 2nd Edition - White Wolf 1996 - Deadlands - Pinnacle "Best Roleplaying Game of..." 1997 - Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game - Alderac 1998 - Star Trek: The Next Generation RPG - Last Unicorn Games 1999 - 7th Sea Roleplaying Game - Alderac "Best Roleplaying Game" 2000 - Dungeons and Dragons - Wizards of the Coast 2001 - Adventure! - White Wolf So, for perspective, that's the history of the award. You'll notice a lot of trends & omissions (all the military games winning in the early years). Glyfair of Glamis [/QUOTE]
