2006 ENnie Awards Winner List

 

The Gen Con EN World RPG Awards (the "ENnies") are an "annual fan-based celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying gaming." A panel of judges selects finalists from submissions received, and then the voting public votes publicly at http://www.enworld.org/ennies/index.html.

Voting ended on July 30th with over 5,500 votes cast, and the awards ceremony took place at GenCon on Friday, August 11. I was present for the pre-ceremony banquet as well as the ceremony, and was pleased to have a product I wrote (Baba Yaga, by Dog Soul) be the recipient of the gold for Best Electronic Book.

Congrats, Aeon (or should I say Michael?). I've DL'd the demo.

Can anyone explain to me what's all the fuss about M&M? I've checked out the rulebook and it didn't strike me as particularly outstanding. Haven't played it, though.

Funny WotC is nearly unseen here.

Has anyone got comments regarding The Shackled City or SR4? I didn't hear a lot of good stuff about the latter.

Well done Aeon!

I'll have to take a look at it soon. What is next on your plate?
