ENnie Awards- Indy Titles Wanted!

[Denise]

Sorry, I should've chosen my nouns better. Rather than backlash, which has negative connotations, I should've asked if there has been any noticeable difference or response.  More hits to the web site?  More downloads?  Sales?

By the way, every book, whether it is electronic format or not gets considered for the other awards as well.  I remember Stuff! getting a lot of great feedback in the Rules category at the least.  Fortunately (for the small press guys), the judges were most impressed with the smaller-name submissions, so the little guys can battle it out.  I can tell you, going up against the likes of Wizards of the Coast with your free PDF is more than a tad daunting (but it was super awesome to beat them).

Oh yeah- and the Best Electronic Product winners get a lovely crystal trophy.  Could be handy on the streets for burning ants and stuff and starting small fires. ;)

"What good does an award do, anyhow?", you ask? I don't know, but it's still nice to win one occasionally. If I win an Ennie? I know that 20 years from now, as I sit shivering in my cardboard box, eating expired cat food heated over the stub of a discarded candle, I'll clutch that statue tightly to my chest, caress it and whisper softly, "yes my precious, you were worth it...", with the gleaming rheumy eyes of a game-designing madman...

So vote early and vote often (insert gratuitous plug for Stuff! in e-book category).

And whilst you're at it, a vote sent in the direction of Steampower Publishing's Lemurian Candidate in Best Adventure wouldn't go amiss either :-)

Since the Ennie nominations are up, I'm going to breathe a little life back into the thread by asking if anyone here got nominated. I managed a "best electronic book" nomination for the Stuff! supplement for EABA. Did any other indie get a nomination? Did anyone else here submit anything for nomination?

Well, I only lurk here on a monthly basis (and then, mostly just this Publishing board), but yes, my game did receive a nomination.

In the Best Electronic Book category.

Hi, Greg!

Well, in answer to Greg's question, and since the thread seems to have degenerated into plugs, anyway, don't forget Dread, nominated for Best Rules and Best Game. Vote for us to stick it to all those Evil Mainstream RPGs we're up against. ;-)
