Sì, ieri notte sul Sito del premio. Ho segnalato io la cosa su story-games, a quanto ho capito non c'è stata nessuna premiazione, nessuna comunicazione (nemmeno ai vincitori, Jake Richmond ha saputo dal mio thread di aver vinto per Sea Dracula il premio come miglior gioco free). Solo il posting dei risultati sul sito (e poi sul blog di John Kim).
Io spero veramente che prima dell'anno prossimo si faccia avanti qualcuno per rilanciare il premio. Stavolta la "corazzata" Mouse Guard, paradossalmente, ha messo una foglia di fico perché la sua vittoria è difficilmente contestabile (notare comunque che ha potuto partecipare perchè la definizione di "indie" del premio non è la stessa di The Forge: per The Forge Mouse Guard non è un gioco indie perchè non è pubblicato direttamente da Luke Crane, ma dalla Archaia Studio Press che pubblica i fumetti di Mouse Guard), ma ormai siamo arrivati al punto che basterebbero 10 persone per far vincere chiunque...
Ecco comunque la lista dei vincitori, dal blog di John Kim (nel sito del premio ci sono anche i commenti sui singoli giochi)
The Indie RPG Awards have been posted on the website and are summarized below. My apologies for being late on this. They should have been posted concurrent with GenCon on Friday, but a series of technical difficulties delayed it.
2008 was the seventh year of the Indie RPG Awards, and the contestants were particularly strong. As one voter described it, the field showed "a growing sense of diversification and love of production as simplistic boundaries of 'trad' and 'indie' as labels of content rather than production start to fall down." Another simply said "indie games are breaking through all over."
There were close races for best game and supplement this year, and a tie for free game! Best Production, on the other hand, was won hands-down. It seems there are a few names that no one can compete with in production values, and for this year frequent winner Luke Crane had teamed up with former winner Mark Smylie's company, Archaia Press. Most Innovative, though, went appropriately enough to an author new to the awards. Also, even though the awards are only for English-speaking games for now, we are starting to see more foreign entrants. Translations from Norway and France were prominent this year. The only down side was that there was less buzz about support from anyone, and many voters left off that category.
And the winners are...
