SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

"Excellence in Gaming"... LOL

TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Maybe we need to create our own award:

I give you The Magnificent Award from Gamers for Authors.

LOL! Yes you too can throw off the yolk of colonialism and play Coyote & Crow, where you get to play authentic native American adventures without the influence of white devils. You will get to do exciting things such as enslaving enemy tribes, and burning captives alive. Fun for the whole family. Ages 10 and up.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

That would have sold the game to me! ;)

I've no problem with people winning legitimate awards but that type of fakery is obnoxious.
What are the criteria for getting one of these 'prestigious' awards?

Ah... So basically, if you've got the magic blood or are queer you are in there. LOOOL TBH, I've personally never recognized any of that shit anyway including the ennies.

I personally find it hilarious that one of the finalists is a WotC product, and one of the others is Linda Codega, who helped pummel WotC into submission regarding the OGL debacle.

I guess Radiant Citadel's wokeness outweighed its publication by the Evil Empire, eh? At least the Emperor makes the trains run on time, right?

Forget it. I'm clearly not a good fit for discussions on this site. I bow to your collective and superior wisdom.

Tell us you don't understand the point of this award and that your jealous of the recognition the nominees will get without saying you don't understand the point of this award and that your jealous of the recognition the nominees will get.

It's not an award for game design, and it's not an award based on popularity or sales. This award was created as reaction to the other awards where the winners are based on popularity. The members of the committee (those who who select the nominees and pick the winner) are all game industry professionals with extensive experience and credentials.

For those who care to look, the process for how the nominees and winner are selected is here:

So it IS about virtue signaling and not about the quality, importance or popularity of the nominees.

Thanks for participating.
