The ENnies as announced at GenCon Indy 2015 ...
One day I'm sure I'll eventually play Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I never quite understand how Chaosium keep winning awards for rehashes when there are so many other publishers and quality games out there, I understand people voting for Paizo and WotC, but in the shops and in the online stores Chaosium are almost invisible. Maybe my avoidance of kickstarters and love of small publishers means that I'm so far off the map and out of whatever loop that I literally have no idea what's in favour. Aren't these the same games as last year? (I'm being rhetorical) I love the Achtung Cthullhu concept as much as the next man, new titles, I guess. Oh well, as long as we can still buy shiny new dice I guess I'm happy. Go Q-workshop! (Not being sarcastic here, I genuinely love buying beautiful dice and have a nice set of steampunk Q-workshop polys)
Best electronic book? The WotC's D&D Basic? Definitely deserved being nominated as the best or important free book, maybe not winning, but as electronic texts go for looks and broswability it's far from the best over all. In fact unless it's seriously improved and acquired illustrations, it's very far from the best. Again, the PDF /electronic texts market has been totally sold short.
Best accessory, a DM's screen? (Smacks head) So much for innovation.
Oh well.
