2005 Indie RPG Award Winners

So the Indie Awards were announced on Friday live at GenCon, and I'm posting them now as I get back.  I'm updating the website with comments and pictures now -- but for those interested in the raw results, here they are.  These are formed by votes from a pool of over 80 independent game producers.  Each voter has three votes per category: a 5-point vote, a 3-point vote, and a 1-point vote.
