[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3638107, member: 53"] I suppose you have a different idea of the purpose of the awards than I do. The website states: I don't see anything about "excellence except when it's already a commercial success." Now, it's been a while since it was first brainstormed, and my searching can't bring up the early posts (if they indeed still exist). However, I recall that the purpose of the awards was for us to recognize the products we felt were best in d20. WotC stopped being an option not because we chose to eliminate them (athough there were those who advocated that from almost the beginning), but because they decided to not submit anything. Since then the awards have [I]expanded[/I] not contracted. The voting has evolved to minimize the advantage better distribution has. In fact it gives me hope that [I]Castle Shadowcrag[/I] might make the showing it deserves based on its quality, even though its distribution is very limited. In my opinion the ENnies took a hit to their meaning when WotC dropped out. They overcame that. WotC coming back will certainly add to the prestige of the award. [/QUOTE]
