ENnie Award Winners for 2016
The ENnie Awards were handed out last night at GenCon 2016 and let's just say that I was rather pleased to hear that Pelgrane Press won ten (10 !!) awards last night, with five going to products from the Dracula Dossier Kickstarter. While one typically expects to see Wizards of the Coast and Paizo dominate the categories they're in (and they did pick up some awards), this year's winners list (below) feels like a win for the smaller publishers being recognised for high-quality products.
