Do RPGs need the Ennie Awards?
And a big sale from DriveThruRPG
This week I take a look through the Ennie Award nominations. Do we really need RPG Awards? And what am I voting for? (Vote here if you haven’t already.)
DriveThruRPG has launched it’s big Christmas in July sale, with lots of great products deeply discounted. Get 75% off of some products here. See the whole sale here, or just the OSR sale here. My top picks are below.
