While I don't usually put any stock in the Ennies or any gaming related awards, it was kind of cool to see Free League take home a fair number this year, for their games.

Gold ENNIE for Best Adventure: Vaesen - Seasons of Mystery
Gold ENNIE for Best Layout and Design: Blade Runner RPG Core Rulebook
Gold ENNIE for Best Cartography: Blade Runner RPG Starter Set
Gold ENNIE for Best Monster/Adversary: Ruins of Symbaroum Bestiary
Gold ENNIE for Best Interior Art: Vaesen - Mythic Britain & Ireland
Gold ENNIE for Best Setting: Vaesen - Mythic Britain & Ireland
Gold ENNIE for Product of the Year: Vaesen - Mythic Britain & Ireland

Owning Vaesen, I can concur that the game has both an awesome premise/setting and has evocative, unique artwork. Like the Alien RPG they have, I've been tempted to check out the Blade Runner RPG. Just not sure how often I would want to get it to the table.

Pretty good accomplishments by Free League. Hopefully they follow this with cool gaming goodness!

Free League is one of my favorite Publisher out there. I Kickstarted Dragonsbane and I have run it twice. It is a great game.

Nice. I think the only hangup I have with Dragonsbane, is the inclusion of the duck race, I just couldn't pull the trigger on the KS because of that. Almost the same thing with Forbidden Lands. I did go in on the KS for that, but the inclusion of the wolf-kin and the goblins just didn't sit right so I sold it all off.

Idk why, but the anthropomorphic aspect of some races rubs me the wrong way. I liked including the Minotaur in AD&D and didn't mind the Saurials, but ducks and wolves just don't feel right to me.

Duck people turned me off of Glorantha.

Can't say that I am a fan of the Ducks either.

I don't care for the taste of duck when I've had it at a dinner. ;)
