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.

Quote from: Captain Rufus;321341Oh well.  Because of board comments here and there I want to look into Mouse Guard both the RPG AND the comic which looks lovely, almost a darker heroic take on that old Redwall novel series.

And that's why the ENnies are relevant.

"Because of board comments here and there..."

I recall someone mentioning Mouse Guard here and at tBP well before the nominations for the ENnies were even being considered this year.

Quote from: Piratecat;321581Cause not enough people voted for it. Remember: judges nominate the top 5, and then it's a fan-based popularity contest. Which is cool, as it encourages community-building, but not necessarily indicative of which of those five products is "best."

The "Judges" in question being nothing more than glorified fans selected by the same popularity-contest; so its not like the judges choices are going to be anything other than popularity contests to begin with. That's why consistently utter CRAP has been nominated by your wise council of judges and why incredibly good games have often failed to be nominated.

If the prize were determined by the judges instead of the vote, you'd just have a popularity contest of a handful of elites rather than a larger popularity contest. Its the same thing.

So let's ask - and while I know we differ on a lot of these points, I'm curious about your opinion. How would you select judges? What makes a judge qualified?

I think ennie's judges should be selected with a round robin style hot dog eating contest. that would provide us with a more accurate demographic representation.

Which is why the Origins awards are more relevant.  Mouse Guard rightly won rpg of the year there.

Pretty much everything "Gary Brecher" the War Nerd writes is worth reading, for one reason or another.  ("Gary Brecher" is a pen name/persona that was mysterious for a long time, but was eventually revealed to be John Dolan, an English poet and professor at the University of Victora -- if you can believe that…)
