Origins Awards nominees announced for 2007 Though underannounced and hard to find (as usual), the 2007 Origins Awards top nominees are decided. 'Tis an interesting batch this year, with many expected titles (Ptolus was a no-brainer), and some surprises as well (Shear Panic? Really? Huh). The list also contains a few endangered or extinct products, such as Paizo's Dragon Magazine and the defunct MSM publication Games Quarterly Magazine. Click below for the full list of nominees. Board Game or Expansion of the Year Miniatures Game or Expansion of the Year Miniature or Miniatures Line of the Year Non-Collectable Card Game or Expansion of the Year CCG or Expansion of the Year Game Accessory of the Year Fiction Publication of the Year Non-Fiction Publication of the Year Roleplaying Game of the Year Roleplaying Game Supplement of the Year
April 30, 2007 12:17 PM: WilliamG says... Maybe with the new voting structure (only attendees at Origins '07 get a vote, if I remember correctly), Steve Jackson Games won't be able to flood the ballot box with votes for yet another Munchkin title.
April 30, 2007 04:41 PM: Irate Squirrel says... Kinda random list. Some stuff on there that's spot on, a lot that's huh? Woo dreamblade mat! I mean it's nifty but it shouldn't be there.
May 1, 2007 05:10 AM: MartijnW says... @WilliamG: Hah! The conspiracy isn't foiled that easily. We will round up the ignorant peasant masses and arrange transportation to Origins so they can dutifully vote for five more years of Munchkinism. Look for the MIB 'guarding' the ballot boxes on election day... fnord.
May 6, 2007 12:13 PM: Pookie says... Arguably the best set of nominations in a long time and actually representative of the gaming hobby at the moment. After last year's dross this is a breath of fresh air. As to the RPG list -- as a friend said, "Well, I can definitely say that RuneQuest is the least deserving title there, and I'm a RuneQuest fan."
May 14, 2007 01:07 PM: Irate Squirrel says... I would not say this list is a breath of fresh air, more like a less stinky fart. The update for historicals was atrocious, command and colors ancients? Cheap components and stickers you had to put on yourself gets nominated? Someone looked at their gaming shelf when they made this list. The RPG's are the strongest category the rest is a lame joke.
