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.

Huh  - that's pretty much what I'm using.
Maybe adblock is the what's causing the issue. Are you using that?

So two games that have been around for literally decades, and one that no one has ever heard of?

I see that this set of gaming awards is as credible as every other.

Well - the judges' spotlight awards add more breadth and diversity. Those are on the blog.

But the ones you are talking about from the Gamers Choice Poll - that's literally just an open vote. Pure popularity contest. The winners reflect the votes and nothing else there.

Re: Sentinels of the Multiverse  -with no hyperbole - that card game is literally a juggernaut in the Supers gaming market. You and your gaming circle may not have heard of it - but lots of other folks have.

Deserving winners IMHO! I see that DriveThru has a sale on nominee products too.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

OK, so after that, I looked it up... are we actually talking about an RPG here? Because everything I googled seems to talk about a CARD GAME.

They are releasing an RPG. This was a starter kit released in advance of that rpg (which iirc, is going to be funded via kickstarter).
