The Ennies may well be the most significant of the RPG industry awards. Certainly, everyone who’s made it through to this round should be very happy with themselves and will hopefully see a rise in sales just because they’re a nominee.
You’ll see some of the products marked with HM – these are honourable mentions (not horrible monsters). These products didn’t make it through to the nomination stage but impressed the judges enough to get a mention here.
Winners will be announced on the evening of Friday, August 6th at Gen Con.
