Mitte Juni findet die Origins-Messe statt; alle Teilnehmer können dort über die Kandidaten abstimmen. Am 15. Juni werden dann die Preisträger bekannt gegeben.
Und heute erst wurden die Kandidaten für die Griffies bekanntgegeben (http://www.geas.org.uk/conpulsion/blog/2013/04/11/griffies-2013-finalists/):
The Role-Playing Product Griffie Nominees are as follows.
Dungeon World – Sage Kobold Productions
Eternal Contenders – Prince of Darkness Games/Chronicle City
Night’s Black Agents – Pelgrane Press
Primeval – Cubicle 7 Entertainment
Squadron UK – Simon Burley
Die Griffies sind ebenfalls ein Publikumspreis, aber die entsprechende Convention findet schon dieses Wochenende statt. Die Gewinner dürften also in ein paar Tagen gekürt werden. :)
Und Cubicle7 kann sich freuen, mit Primeval für beide Preise nominiert zu sein.
Die Gewinner der ENnies 2013 (http://www.ennie-awards.com/blog/announcing-the-2013-ennie-awards-winners/) wurden bekanntgegeben, die lange Liste (soviele Preiskategorien...) steht hier im Spoiler. Die Newcomer sind recht deutlich Shadows of Esteren und Iron Kingdoms, während Paizo zwar immer noch sehr präsent ist (die ENnies sind eben ein Publikumspreis, und Paizo hat eine riesige Kundschaft), aber meinem Eindruck nach ist das Feld trotzdem etwas abwechslungsreicher als zuletzt. Kann mich aber auch täuschen. :)
