Indie RPG Awards: It's Your turn to Vote!

[Andy Kitkowski]

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that the Indie RPG Awards' Peoples' Choice Award is now active and online.

You can see the big red button to click (to get instructions) here:

Basically, Justin Dagna had a great idea for these peer-voted awards:  "Why not open one award up to the public vote?  This will give people who actually play these games a stake in the awards, and add a little more active participation.

Great idea, and I immediately stole it. :-)

So, that's where we are today.  From now until July 30th, if there's any game or supplement registered at the Indie RPG Awards page that you support, show your support by sending a postcard (or letter) to the location specified on the page above.

Here's the list of registered games:

Here's the registered supplements:

Thanks for your time.  I'm hoping to get everyone who reads this to vote, and to get the word out to other communities.

Wow...what a collection of games.

I'm kind of glad Robots & Rapiers DIDN'T come out in 2004.  That's some hella competition.

But postcard....POSTCARD?  I cringe at the very thought of having to use an actual stamp...

Heh, and I cringe at having to go through IP logs of online voting tools, deleting the 700 votes in a single day that went to one game, or questioning the three votes for similar games that came in from a .edu addy, wondering if these are the same person or different people at the same campus network, etc. Or wondering if "Rocky_Nutbutter@yahoo.com" is a real account or a shill account created by Designer X's Buddy to score more votes, etc.

The labor involved in trying to keep any online voting tool even remotely legit is staggering.

Plus, I love mail. (^.^)

Yeah, Andy has a point. At least with mail, its going to cost them some change for each vote they try to forge.
