I'm glad that my Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies made the jury selection ballot; it's an honor just to be pre-nom'd. ;)
Since S7S won't hit traditional distribution (through Alliance) and being listed in Game Trade Magazine until next month at a minimum, and that retailers are the ones who vote for OA noms at GTS, I was hopeful but not overly optimistic about its chances of getting a nom.
On the upside, I should be at Origins this year, and will be able to vote on the nominees! Yay!
Other notes:
1. Congrats to all my friends who have stuff on the nom slate!
2. I'm intrigued that 3 of the 5 RPG noms are licenses.
3. I'm intrigued that 3 of the same companies show up on in both RPG categories.
