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.

I stopped visiting ENWorld because their politics became insufferable. I couldn't care less about what they do, although it'd be fun to do an RPGSite awards or something similar.

Greetings!

Fucking awesome, GeekyBugle! I love it! MAGAA!!!!!

Fucking ULTRA MAGA!!! Just watch the Libtards REEE when the GOD EMPEROR gets re-elected!!!!

As for the "ENNIES"? Fuck the ENNIES. I don't give a fuck about what is on their list, who gets awarded, or who gets gang fucked in the ass on award night. Let them all fuck each other silly and get Monkey Pox! ;D The "ENNIES" are irrelevant in the big scheme of things.

After all the ass fucking, corruption, remember all the scandals about the ENNIES a few years back? Judges being corrupt. Getting their buddies in, or the people they "approve" of. Yeah. Pepperidge Farms remembers! ;D

That still doesn't mean people can't comment on other stuff that just won ENNIES. There remain a ton of indie games in there, some worth talking about. Why is this game the only one worth commenting on in a thread dedicated to the ENNIES this year?

Quote from: Mistwell on August 07, 2022, 10:39:41 PM
OK but are you interested in anything else on this list?

If you weren't being a liar about other "interesting" games on the list, then why aren't you already talking about them?

Maybe even not. If we avoid "My body my choice!" let's avoid "that other thing" too.

I would agree on "Freedom Awards" toh :D

As if "Freedom Awards" wouldn't be taken the exact same way by the exact same crowd of twatterati.

But, I'm okay with that name, we totally should do it.

I am interested in Colostle: A Solo RPG Adventure. I'd like to know if it's appropriate for middle school aged kids.

The Troubleshooters - The U-Boat Mystery sounds interesting. It's sort of a Tintin or Johnny Quest adventure in an alternate nineteen sixties thwarting the evil plans for world domination by the secret organization known as The Octopus. The system is Basic Roleplaying System.

Well, two of my votes made the list:

Best Supplement
Silver: Root the RPG: Travellers and Outsiders
Gold: Call of Cthulhu: Cults of Cthulhu

Best Layout & Design
Silver: Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20: Gamemaster's Guide
Gold: Delta Green: Impossible Landscapes

No, I'm not fixated with Cthulhu but both these dudes were really well made. I can't agree with the rest of the winners.

No idea how bad TSL are, they are definitely more interesting that this most boring, most bland, most inefficiently virtue signalling mediocrity that is new Tal'Dorei.

Best Game
Silver: Root: The RPG
Gold: Thirsty Sword Lesbians

So the two winners for Best Game are both PbtA games. Funny thing is, I always felt that PbtA games had a "boardgame" feel to them, so imagine my shock when I found out Root was originally a boardgame. So the runner-up for Best Game is a derivative licensed product that probably plays fairly similar to the original.

But why did it win?
It might have something to do with turning the Marquis de Cat (a playable faction in the original game) into the main villian of the rpg. The Cats are characterized by industry and expansion (it's how they win in the original game) so obviously they represent capitalism and colonialism, right? And of course the factions that win through thievery or manipulation are the "good guys."

Played the board game twice. I hated it. Every faction is essentially playing its own game. Cats are not necessarily capitalists. I think they were closer to communist. Now the Birds represent a monarchy, and they can be hell to play in the board game with their weird command card rules. Lizards were a cult. Beavers were traders and a source for mercenaries...effectively war profiteers.

So, in short, I think your theory is incorrect and you're trying to overthink it. More likely is it got points for being linked to a fairly popular board game among those players that overlap into RPGs.
