Weird GameWyrd Game Awards Wyrd Winners 2004

Voting is over and the results are in. Ladies, gentlemen, orcs and elves, we have our Wyrd Winners! Competition was fierce; we had several thousand votes and in some cases the winners in the most competitive categories won by only a handful of votes!

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time out to vote. We know comparing covers to decide between candidates in the “Cwor! The Sexiest Front Cover” category was a chore! When we say “Caffeine Powered Robot” we mean it in the “love of the industry” sort of way!

Congratulations to all the Wyrd Winners. Each Weird GameWyrd Game Award has been fought over and each one is well deserved. Congratulations also the runners up, especially those smaller and independent RPG companies and products which punched far above their weight in terms of fan base and industry awareness.

Is it over until next year? Not quite! Remember, we keep the voting booths open on the Game Awards themselves throughout the year. You can nominate a nomination to ditch, suggest a new category or do both.
