Warning: BEARD RAGE.

There are no truly free RPGs at the Ennies. I am absolutely LIVID. Especially as Justin Halliday put Heroes Against Darkness in. In mean, COME ON ENNIES.

Makes me want to... want to... run our own awards.

Huh they skipped over SPF, not surprising considering there's no art in the book yet. I get the impression that they're only interested in shiny pictures. Doubt anyone actually looked at it.

It is annoying that there isn't a reward for the truly free. However, is that what the Ennies are for? Oscar Night doesn't recognize Sundance Festival entrants, Daytime Emmys don't look at You-tube Machnimas, and the Journalism Pulitzer isn't meant for blogs.

I think 1km1kt.net needs a "Winners Circle" to recognize people like that, or a game of the month. Our own "golden Banana" rewards as suggested by Kumakami would be nice as well.

Does 1km1kt.net have any pull/stroke with any of these award/competition groups?

Just wondering cause if "we" do then maybe the reward for being a "Golden Banana" could
be an endorsement by 1km1kt.net for submission/consideration in these various competitions.

Okay, I'm all up for the idea that something is called the Golden Banana, just because that's freaking awesome.

Also, isn't that what the Ennies started as? People got frustrated with the Origins awards because it was run by retailers basically?

Oh...and by the way, I'm 100% behind this Golden Banana idea.

...or maybe a monthly "Silver Banana" (available as a nomination on the month when it is released or uploaded to the 1km1kt servers, chosen by a panel of free rpg illuminati), this would also work as a nomination into an annual "Golden Banana" capable of being voted on by the public (50% of the vote) and weighted votes from the year's silver banana holders (50% of the vote).

I like the silver banana thing, but it would be 12x the judging work. Instead of one big event you'd have to have a debate every single month.

I put up a post on The Artifact blog about this (just the Ennies part not the golden banana) and it's gotten quite a few hits, this seems to resonate a bit with people. I know Rob tweeted about it, anyone else raising awareness?
