I’ve just returned from the 2003 GenCon EN World D20 System Awards (the ENnies, for short). The awards were far better attended this year than last, and the continued partnership with GenCon has proven to have its advantages, with a projector display of nominees. Of course, that display also caused some minor confusion a time or two by showing the wrong product, but such is the price paid for advanced technology. Now, I wasn’t able to be at the ceremony from the very start, so I missed a couple of the winners. However, after checking with the EN World guys, I’ve verified the ones I missed. Here’s the complete list of winners and runners-up:
