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!

Mean orbital velocity is 3,682.8 kph (about 6,138 inches/turn, if I did the math right). Sorry, couldn't help it :)

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.

Thta's nice, but why would Commander Vimes want to know the orbital velocity of Earth's Moon? He lives on the Discworld.

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.

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.

 

How large is the Academy? Do their votes count one-for-one on equal footing as the public ballots?

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.

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
