The nominations for the 2013 ENnies are out. These are a big set of awards in the roleplaying publishing world.
Counting by hand, I reach 57 publishers nominated and that’s up from just shy of 40 from 2012.
Paizo Publishing and Pelgrane Press lead the pack with 7 nominations each, with Cubicle 7 in third place with 6 nominations and Wizards of the Coast, Privateer Press, Hero Games and Green Ronin next with 5.
