2010 ENnie Award Nominations!

I'll get my 'It's a Clean Sweep' shirt ready ...

Celebratory drinks on me folks.

I love how Paizo is competing against itself in two categories. And its own fans in a third. :)

As in Hollywood and at elections, beware splitting the vote comrades!

I just hope someone posts here that the votes are up. So i don't forget. :)

In Paizo vs. Paizo vs. Paizo Fans battle, whoever wins, WotC lose... ahem, I mean, we win ! ;)

Before the voting opens, Paizo should declare which of its multiple products it wants to win in each category. :P

If the Ennies are running anything like they have the last few years, they'll use instant run-off style voting - so splitting the vote won't be an issue.

That's the problem. In a Paizo vs Paizo battle, if the vote gets split too badly, someone else could ride in on a surprise (and unearned) victory.

Beware of WoTC bashing though. I am all for bashing Hasbro Corporate, but many of the developers who actually make WoTC products are quite good people.

Anyone know the all-time ENnie record for a publisher in both nominations and actual wins? Just curious if Paizo could break the record this year...

I just hope someone posts here that the votes are up. So i don't forget. :)

Voting begins this Friday, the 16th, and goes through the end of the day on the 25th. I'll post on the Paizo board when the polls open. :)

While your over at the ENnies voting on your favorite Paizo products, take a moment and vote for Mark Green for ENnies Judge 2011. I've posting over here at Paizo since shortly before WotC pulled the D&D license and Pathfinder was announced. I'm proud to call this my "home" board.

Thanks for the support and congrats on the nominations Paizo!

As far s I know, we're using instant run-off again this year.

I don't know about the record, but Cubicle 7 is claiming 12 nominations this year. So they had a really good year too.

Wow, I'm thrilled Paizo listed its Fans projects up there, how cool is that?

I think the record nominations is White Wolf's last year with 15. The most wins I think is around 7-8 (shared by a few).

Yeah! \m/ So awesome. :D

Ironically, WW went from 15 to 2. A swan song of once a great company :/

I wouldn't sweat that too much. Nominations will depend on competition and how many products the company submits for nomination, which could, in turn, depend on major product releases that probably aren't annual events in the first place. So I wouldn't consider a drop from 15 to 2 as being a serious event if it fits White Wolf's publishing schedule for these last 2 years.

The problem is, WW quit regular book print and is now down to PDFs and PoD with hardly a new game system in sight. Their light is going out :(

Wait WW no longer mass prints books? When did this happen?

*moustache of approval*

I'd also like to point out that, out of the last 5 times a Paizo adventure has been nominated, it's won gold 4 of those times.

You guys have done such a fantastic job, how could they not?

Thanks a ton Tony! We'll be sure to put up a blog with links come Friday too. Don't worry all, we won't let you forget!

Dude. You guys often put just as much work into this stuff as we do so you guys deserve credit all the same. And honestly - not to downplay how excited we are about these awards - we've got a few ENnies already, what would be a major blast would be to see our most dedicated and talented fans get an actual reward for all their endless hard work. You know we'll be voting for you guys!

Having been involved in the ENnies for the last year, I can't stress how true the above is. A great deal depends on what gets submitted. Every year, we take a bunch of flak over this or that not being nominated, only to have to turn around and say that it was never submitted.

I like to think, despite all the complaints, that we put together a pretty darn good list of nominees this year. i encourage everyone to check out as many as you can, because there are some excellent products out there (and some missed getting nominations by razor-thin margins).

+1

Thanks Wes, it means a lot :)

Vote for Wayfinder #1 or I will eat you, and not let you out!

You enter good product and what do you expect?

An excellent effort all round: you publishers have done your bit, I and my fellow judges have done our bit and now it is over to the gaming community to step up...

Voting begins 16 July, for the awards and also for next year's judges. There's a massive field of judges, so read through what we all have to say and decide who will best represent your opinions for next year!
