Window of Ppportunity
Once again My Life With Master has been ignored. Only fitting I supporse, since it was one of the best games of 2003.
I think the main reason it was ignored this time is the “D20 only” nature of the ENnies.
I think it would fit just fine in the “Best Non-d20 Game” category, actually. The ENnies, they’re not just for D20 anymore. 😉
Sometimes, Matt, things get overlooked, or perhaps the judges just didn’t agree with you. Or, perhaps it was never submitted for consideration?

Oh, I appreciate that things get overlooked, but it seems an absurd ommision from the Electronics Product Category. But then again it was virtually ignored by the Origins Awards as well. I am slowly getting used to seeing people not recognise excellence when released.
Maybe because I haven’t heard of that game.
A “Non-d20 Game” category? Huh. Look at that. Hadn’t noticed that one. Well, at least My Life With Master is up for the Diana Jones Award, though it has strong competition.
