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.

Thanks for the comments. Good to shed some light on the situation.

There's no such thing as a perfect awards. The one thing I think would make the final product Ennies markedly better--authentication to prevent gaming the votes--is a little cost prohibitive.

As it is, the final stage is a fan vote. That has it's upsides (mostly the ability to say "look here, these are fan awards) and downsides (it's really mostly about market penetration, though there is some accounting for being able to mobilize your fans).

As it is, though, I am mostly happy with the outcome of the votes this year. FATE Core is a good system, Numenera is a good setting, and that's the way the votes shaped up.

Were I a judge, I might not have voted for EotE either.
