Found out this morning that the Firefly RPG corebook was nominated for two 2015 ENnie Awards: Product of the Year and Game of the Year. Echoes of War: Thrillin’ Heroics also won a Judge’s Spotlight Award as well.

First and foremost, congratulations to my team for putting in a lot of work into the ‘Verse. Second, kudos to everyone who was nominated for the industry’s awards. Can’t wait for voting to open up; there are some FANTASTIC games in this year’s list. Cheers all around, and I’ll see you in Indy!

Buried Tales of Pinebox, Texas is up for an ENnie Award

ENnie AwardsMany of you might have heard me talk about my short story “Pie,” which was published in the anthology entitled BURIED TALES OF PINEBOX, TEXAS. This work has already won first place for 2009 best anthology in the annual Preditors & Editors Reader’s Choice Awards. Now, I am pleased to announce that it is being considered for the ENnies, an award in the gaming industry.

The list of 2010 nominees for the ENnie awards includes some really fun games like ECLIPSE PHASE and DOCTOR WHO.

This year, we have some tough competition in our category of “Best Regalia,” because every product that’s listed there is outstanding. Now that the preliminary round of voting has passed, voting has now opened up to the public.

If you’re remotely familiar with these games and books, I hope that you take the opportunity to vote. These awards mean a lot to the people who work in this industry, because they’re not just decided by a panel of judges. They’re decided by our peers, our readers and our fellow gamers, too.

Good luck to everyone! If you’re interested in picking up any of these books or games, you can visit the 2010 nominees on DriveThruRPG.com. Many of them are on sale, too!

As most of you know, I’ve done a lot of writing and editing within the gaming industry. Like other industries, there are some industry-facing and/or fan awards that softly bolster the businesses that do their very best.

I had the pleasure of sponsoring this event through Flames Rising last year and was on hand to take pictures and throw in support.

Attracting international attendees, there are folk from Scotland, Ireland, Germany, France, the UK and as far away as Australia have come to Indianapolis for this convention opener. The Awards commemorate the “excellence in gaming” and while for many folk that might mean “excellence in design” — the Diana Jones awards has a different take on it.
