As I write this, the start of the OriginsGame Fair, a long-running annual gaming convention run by the Game Manufacturer's Association (GAMA), is less than a week away, and with that comes the prestigious Origins Awards.
I encourage you to review the list
of nominees as it is always a nice cross-section of quality in a number of
categories including board games, card games, roleplaying games, and even media
contributions (podcasts, vlogs, and the like).
This year, Savage Worlds (and
Pinnacle Entertainment Group) is represented in the Best 2D Artwork category in
the form of Holler: the Appalachian Apocalypse. Congratulations to Francesco Chiappara, Aaron Acevedo, Karl
Keesler, Simon Lucas, and Alida Saxon for their outstanding work on this
gorgeous setting!
Meanwhile five years ago this week, I learned that one of my proudest accomplishments, the Savage World of Flash Gordon, was nominated for Best Roleplaying Game of 2018!!! While the game did not win that year, it was still thrilling to see it up there among other outstanding titles like Forbidden Lands, Invisible Sun, Star Trek Adventures, and Vampire: the Masquerade!
Who knows, maybe next year Pinebox Middle School will appear on that list! 🤞🏻
