2010 ENnies Judge Nominees
 |
William Curtis I am a casual roleplayer, but an avid reader of any roleplaying game/system/rules that I get into my hands. I feel that I will be an impartial judge and will be a good judge of what the average roleplayer is looking at and thinks about a given Item. Just as a note, of course I will be biased in some way shape or form I am human, but I have and enjoy roleplaying games from a multitude of publishers.

Chris Gath I have been a Judge six time before. I write reviews for EN World and have for RPGNow in the past. I bring lots of experience with judging books and dealing with the tons of material judges get.

Mark W. Green I'm running because I feel that I can represent an important segment of the gaming community; the busy professional hobby enthusiast. Despite public profession, not all gamers are living in their mom's basement, nor do all gmers "eat, breath, and sleep" the game. Some of us approach our hobby as a means to an end - hang out with our friends, have a few laughs, and enjoy ourselves. I'm that gamer.

Michael Harrison I write for Wired.com's GeekDad blog. I focus on gaming, specifically tabletop RPGs and boardgames, and given that I work quite a lot on reviewing various games that I buy and play, I feel like participating in the ENnies would be a natural extension of that.

L Martin I've been a dedicated roleplaying game enthusiast since the time when Elves and Dwarves were actually character classes in D&D instead of just races. I have always loved the hobby and encouraged others to not only play but to also create their own worlds and systems for others to enjoy. I'm running for judge because I want the honor of being able to appreciate and explore the effort and creativity that writers, artists, and game designers put into their work. (click for more) |

Sean D. Parker I've been a gamer since I was 11 (26 years or so) and gaming has played a prominent role in my life ever since. For a while now I've felt the desire to be able to do something more for the hobby that I enjoy so much. I know I'll never write the next big game, but I still want to contribute to the community and industry in some way. That's when I found the ENnies a few years ago and realized that being a Judge gives me the chance to do just that. So here I am.

Justin (Jay) Peters Many years have passed since I first found Champions, but my
interest in the hobby has only grown with time. I am an avid
roleplayer, even going as far as purchasing a local gaming store to
ensure I could always have a steady stream of gamers and gaming
around me.

Christopher W. Richeson I'm an attorney and hobbyist RPG reviewer from Tennessee, and since I seem to consistently be playing the games that are nominated for awards anyway I might as well help with the process. I enjoy playing a broad variety of RPGs, and my gaming groups have always been good about trying new things whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Megan Robertson Hello - I'm Megan and run RPG Resource, a website on which I review a large amount of RPG product both old and new... even more since becoming an OBS reviewer. I am running because I feel I have a lot of reviewing experience to offer. Come and look at http://www.rpg-resource.org.uk/ to get a feel of how I look at games.

Ryan Hi there. I've been a gamer for a back-creaking, eye-squint-inducing 26 years, attended dozens of conventions (including GenCon and Origins, though neither this year) own hundreds of RPGs, and am familiar with RPGs, CCGs, miniatures games, video games, etc. I also have a fairly acute literary eye for writing, structure, narration and mechanics (as well as spelling and editing, which is something often neglected, alas, in rpg production.)

Scott
St. John I have been an avid roleplayer and wargamer for over 30 years. I am in love with the hobby, and am running for Ennie Judge to have a voice in the gaming industry. I believe good game companies should be rewarded for quality products, and that the Ennies can help companies that strive toward high quality products to improve their product line. By being a judge, I can assist in that process and make sure the best games out there get the exposure they deserve. (click for more) |

Keith T. Sutherland I've been playing RPGs for over 25 years. Through out my life role-playing has brought me many wonderful friends and taught me social skills and critical thinking that have brought me success in many ventures. The best thing that role-playing does is bring people together. I spent a bit of time in the U.S. military moving around, no matter where I went, or fox hole I was in, I could always find a geek to connect with and play a game. (click for more) |

Jeramy
Ware I believe that I am a good judge because I enjoy a variety of games, and can see through their differences without having any preconceived notions about the inherent superiority of any system. I also have the time and desire to read through the books that I would have to review as a judge. The flexibility of my work allows several hours each day to dedicate to fulfilling my responsibilities. During my previous terms I have proven myself capable of handling my duties, and I promise to bring the same work ethic and sincerity to my term this year. (click for more) |
