Thirdbase Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 I voted. Too bad I don't live in Chicago, or for that matter if I was dead in Chicago, I could then go vote again and again. Hope Hero wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 PS. I wrote in the Resource Kit for best role-playing aid. Couldn't hoit. We didn't nominate the RK, nor include it in the write-in campaign, because under the rules a "gaming aid" has to apply to more than one system/game. Or at least so it has been explained to me. I'm not sure how that makes the Pocket Grimoires eligible, but c'est la vie. Thanx again, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fur Face Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Easy Vote Voting for DOJ was a no brainer, and I've been gaming for, well, decades! I've never even heard some of those nominations! But I don't need to, because with FRed I can MAKE my their game match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Count another vote here, working on a few more. I also would have picked Star Hero above Champions...but splitting the vote = bad so I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 I was out of town for most of yesterday, but as soon as I got up this morning I came to the HERO site specifically to find Steve's message about the write-in ballot and get my vote registered. I have my ballot filled out, and I'll be sending the confirmation a little later today. I'll be getting at least a couple of other people (including Colleen) involved as well.

Checkmate Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Curious Has anything like this ever succeeded before? Not trying to be a downer, I just want to know how cool it's gonna be when we pull this off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, couldn't help it Aroooo Thta's nice, but why would Commander Vimes want to know the orbital velocity of Earth's Moon? He lives on the Discworld.

Dr. Anomaly Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Yup. I've voted as well, and am 'rallying the troops' to gather more votes. Y'know, with 47 (yes, *47*) valid, working email addresses & 3 valid, working real-world addresses, it's reeeeaaaal tempting to do the multiple-vote thing, but since Steve asked so nicely...

Steve Long Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Has anything like this ever succeeded before? Not in the time that I've been a member of the Academy. While I can't say that it's never happened, when we pull it off it is definitely going to attract attention on that basis alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 I voted yesterday, and will inform my players this Saturday when I see them next of the effort and see if they are willing to vote as well. However, I must admit that Im a little non-plussed by the whole idea. Ive never heard of a yearly award that is a combination of popular and peer votes. Ive always thought that HERO Games is pretty widely known, as CHAMPIONS if nothing else. Most players that Ive talked to have at least heard of it, even if they havent heard anything definitive about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPheemy Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Voted, spread the word (LJ, LJ gm's community, and the BLACK-CLAD GAMERS!!!!). Now if I can get this Megascaled Mind Control device to work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Scrivner Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I, too, voted. If a d20 port of Call of Cthulhu sans background info counts as a "new" game, so does 5th Edition. It was a close call for best supplement -- Champions vs. Silver Age Sentinels vs. Mutants and Masterminds. They're all good. Too bad we couldn't arrange a Hero/GOO/Green Ronin hero and villain smackdown. I'd like to see how the Atomic Brain fared against Doc Destroyer. Didn't recognize most of the nominees for other categories. Boy, am I out of the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glabutz Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 So did I. I have voted for FREd as best game, Star Hero as best companion, and HM3 as best RPG. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Well, I voted. I even voted the party line for unity's sake. I do NOT think Champions was the best supplement Hero produced this year, however. Left to my own devices I would have voted for UMA or Star Hero. I voted for a couple of things because they had really cool names, too. I especially liked: Sheep on the Borderlands Sucking Vacuum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
