Someone elsewhere said they’re going to be mad if any of the nominees doesn’t win!

 

[Autumnal]

i know about the first three but not the last two. What should I know about Rosenstrasse and Cole Wehrle?

 

[Tun Kai Poh]

Some great nominees!

Congratulations on the recognition of some fine work.

I think Codega should be the winner. Her inquire led to a megacorp changing its misguided plans.

I also vote for Codega.

Radiant Citadel isn't bad, but I mean, I wouldn't say it's even the best just official D&D book of 2022.

I can see arguments for all of them, but I think I'd lean towards Linda Codega too for their OGL coverage earlier this year.

It's worth pointing out that Lin Codega's pronouns are they/them, as a reminder
