O ENnie, junto com o Origins e o Indie RPG, são (em minha opinião) as mais importantes premiações do RPG americano e sempre acabam influenciando as escolhas dos fãs brasileiros que passam a conhecer alguns títulos que nem imaginavam ser bons, às vezes nem tinham ouvido falar. Com votações abertas até dia 24 de julho e o vencedor anunciado dia 5 de agosto junto com o grande evento de jogos GenCon, o ENnie novamente abre espaço para que o publico vote em seus jogos favoritos.

Vale comentar, dos itens todos acima, que só mesmo em uma lista de premiações de jogos de RPG teríamos entre as premiações “Melhor Cartografia”. Recomendo uma atenção maior para a lista de Melhores Produtos Gratuitos pelo simples fato de serem o que são, algo que vocês podem baixar nesse exato momento e usar em suas mesas de jogo hoje a noite se tiverem tempo de lerem as regras. Será que Dresden Files RPG ganha o ENnie assim como ganhou no Origins como melhor jogo? Difícilmente, são duas premiações com critérios e formas de avaliação diferentes, mais essa é a graça. E vocês? Já escolheram seus jogos favoritos?
