2009 Ennie Award Nominations

July 13, 2009 by Dave

You can view the entire list of nominees at the Ennie homepage or at this thread on ENWorld. But let’s get this out of the way first:

Best Website
Critical Hits
Dungeon-A-Day
Kobold Quarterly
Mad Brew Labs
Obsidian Portal

Forgive me losing my journalistic composure here, but

WE WERE NOMINATED FOR AN ENNIE AWARD!

Ahem. Voting opens July 24th to the web-voting public, and runs until August 1. Expect to see a few reminders of that fact once it opens…

More commentary on the awards later.

    Oh yeah! TWO network members on the list! And I said I’d never be nominated, well I was w-r-o-n-g! I hope more RPGBN members enter next year.

    Anyways, good luck, I hope one of us grabs the win!

    God, the pay offs and opportunity to sell our opinions will be ridiculous if/when CH wins.

    Please note, paying me to like 4E will be 50% cheaper then liking other RPGs. I do have some loyalty to our corporate masters.

    Thanks all!

    Mad Brew: Great to see two network members on the list, and good luck!

    Jeramy: Thanks for all your hard work!

    We at Obsidian Portal also feel quite honored to be on the list.

    I know I’ll be chewing my nails until the results are announced!

    Congrats on the nomination!
