I realize I never posted this here. I wrote a very long (and indulgent) review of rpg award shows after serving as a judge in last year’s Ennie Awards. It’s a breakdown, review, and critique of rpg award shows as a concept—and what I want to see in the future.
You can find the summary article here, but it’s actually a 4-parter!
I enjoyed reading your write up and I am very interested in the design of such thing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in such detail!! :]
These are all great - a service to people who are serious about the publishing/industry side of indie games.
I initially skipped this because who wants to read an inside baseball thing like this? But after hearing the brief discussion on B2C I went back and read the series and I thought it was insightful and interesting.
It’s the most inside-baseball thing of all. Thanks for listening and reading!
