The field is extremely weak this year...

[Treebore]

in my opinion.

The only one on here that even excited me this year is Mindjammer. Sure, I was excited about others, but when I actually got to look at them, and in the case of 5E, play them? Ho hum.

Ah well, I was just hoping to find some new stuff to get excited about.

It's a grim state of affairs when Hoard of the Dragon Queen is nominated for a best adventure award. I get that 5E is the 8,000 pound gorilla and will attract nominations through sheer gravitational pull, but HoDQ is weak.

Definitely nothing presented that even sparks a tickle of interest. Went to my LFLGS and the only thing they are even carrying is 5E and Warhammer that is new. So even they didn't find anything worth trying to hawk to the gamers around here.

[Relaxo]

How about write-ins for YARR! The Rules-Light Pirate PRG?

I need to pick up the DCC module called something like "Peril on the Purple Planet". It's supposed to be excellent, yet snubbed by the Ennies.

Chained Coffin is pretty good too. I think both it and Peril were released too late to make it into the ENnies this year. I wish they had, they are something to be excited about.


I also agree that the Hoard adventure by WOTC is weak, very weak.

There must be something wrong with their process. The "Save or Die" podcast has never even been nominated in all this time even though they have excellent production values and entertaining content. It almost looks like a bunch of friends got together and found a way to get free rpg loot. heh

Considering 2 of them are married to each other...

Shadowrun pops up on the list a few times, which while often too rules-intense for my tastes, definitely deserves the nod on the Best Production Values category. The artwork is slick on everything that I've seen in the latest edition and they spend a lot of time on the setting, including ample short stories to help communicate the themes of the game.

Fifth Edition has been up front and personal on most award lists since it came out. For that matter, Achtung Cthulhu has been pretty popular. I haven't played the latter, but I like the excuse to say Achtung, Cthulhu!

Yeah. Those DCC products are great. Hats off to our good friend Joe Goodman, and his cohorts.

A Red & Pleasant Land is well worth looking into, and it's easily adapted to C&C.

I gave up on the ENnies after year 1. They mean nothing.
