Earlier this evening at Gen Con Indy, the winners of the Gen Con EN World RPG Awards 2008 were announced to all in attendance at the Indianapolis Westin Grand Ballroom (see full list below). Highlights include Paizo Publishing’s win for Fan Choice Best Publisher (Paizo generally dominated the categories, along with White Wolf and Green Ronin). Star Wars RPG: Saga Edition took Best Rules over second place Trail of Cthulhu, as well as Best Game, though it was edged out by Changeling: The Lost for Product of the Year. Lifetime Achievement Awards were also awarded, to Dave Arneson, Gary Gygax, and Erick Wujcik. OgreCave extends a hearty congratulations to all of this year’s winners.
