This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yep, ennies judges are D&D fanboys.  No surprise.  Next year, Pathfinder will win.  No surprise.

Ennie judges don't decide who wins.

I'd be more interested if the judges were expected to play the games. It's sort of like the Oscars being judged solely by movie trailers.
One author of Diaspora: hard science-fiction role-playing withe FATE and Deluge, a system-free post-apocalyptic setting.

Eh. I'm not concerned nor do I hold much stock on Ennies. It's like people say, it's the Oscars. Some times they get it right (Dark Knight) some time they don't.

Also they didn't shill for the art. Thank god for that. They want to give WotC best monster book and best rules...I'm willing to let that slide.

Yeah it's pretty good and KQ got some nods as well. (Always a plus.) GR's A Song of Ice and Fire got some love too. Paizo might have blown away for their RPG, but they still got some wins under their belt.

So Starblazer Adventures, by far the best game nominated this year, didn't win a single ENnie?

Does it even qualify. The book was just released last month, wasn't it?

Its one of those things where being nominated is the real prize.

Once you get past the judges, then it turns into the People's Choice awards and the biggest name companies are going to garner most of the popular vote.

Of course, its completely self-serving of me to think that ;)

From what I understood, it was nominated for four awards.

That just means the voters don't share your tastes. They disagree that it's "by far the best game." Shouldn't be surprising, really.
