<a href="https://ennie-awards.com/2021-nominees/">the 2021 ENNIE Award nominations</a> (<a href="https://questingbeast.itch.io/the-waking-of-willowby-hall">The Waking of Willowby Hall</a> was nominated for Best Adventure!), I thought I’d take a look back through the award’s history to see how the OSR has historically fared. I’ve listed all OSR and OSR-adjacent products that have been nominated since 2010 below. If they have 1 star, they won silver in their category. If they have 2 stars, they won gold. Of course, what counts as “OSR” is a matter of personal opinion, so other people might count this differently. My list starts at 2010 because prior to that the only OSR-ish products appear to be books by Goodman Games and Necromancer Games, who were using 3.5 for their rules.</p> <p><strong>2010 – 3 Nominations, 0 Wins</strong><br> The Grinding Gear – Best Adventure<br> (Honorable mention) Death Frost Doom – Best Cartography<br> (Honorable mention) Labyrinth Lord – Best Game</p> <p><strong>2011 – 2 Nominations, 1 Win</strong><br> **Old School Hack – Best Free Product<br> (Honorable mention) Stars Without Number – Best New Game</p> <p><strong> 2012 – 0 Nominations, 0 Wins</strong></p> <p><strong>2013 – 5 Nominations, 0 Wins</strong><br> The Magnificent Joop van Ooms – Best Art<br> Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea – Best Game<br> Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea – Best Production values<br> Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea – Product of the year<br> Goodman Games – Favorite Publisher</p> <p><strong>2014 – 1 Nomination, 0 Wins</strong><br> Old School Monsters Database – Best Software</p> <p><strong>2015 – 4 Nominations, 4 Wins</strong><br> *A Red & Pleasant Land – Best Adventure<br> *A Red & Pleasant Land – Product of the Year<br> **A Red & Pleasant Land – Best Setting<br> **A Red & Pleasant Land – Best Writing</p> <p><strong>2016 – 5 Nominations, 3 Wins</strong><br> Maze of the Blue Medusa – Best Adventure<br> *Maze of the Blue Medusa – Best Cartography<br> **Maze of the Blue Medusa – Best Electronic Book<br> *Maze of the Blue Medusa – Best Writing<br> Maze of the Blue Medusa – Product of the Year</p> <p><strong>2017 – 7 Nominations, 4 Wins</strong><br> **Broodmother Skyfortress – Judge’s Spotlight<br> **Blood in the Chocolate – Best Adventure<br> The Cursed Chateau – Best Cartography<br> *Veins of the Earth – Best Adversary<br> Veins of the Earth – Best Rules<br> *Veins of the Earth – Best Writing<br> Veins of the Earth – Product of the Year</p> <p><strong>2018 – 15 Nominations, 8 Wins</strong><br> Fever Swamp – Judge’s Spotlight<br> Operation Unfathomable – Judge’s Spotlight<br> **The Dark of Hot Springs Island – Best Adventure<br> *Frostbitten and Mutilated – Best Interior Art<br> **The Midderlands – Best Cartography<br> *Scenario from Ontario – Best Electronic Book<br> Vaginas Are Magic – Best Free Product<br> **Frostbitten and Mutilated – Best Monster<br> Rey and Kiel Can Do – Best Podcast<br> Hobbs and Friends of the OSR – Best Podcast<br> *Fear of a Black Dragon – Best Podcast<br> *Frostbitten and Mutilated – Best Setting<br> *Frostbitten and Mutilated – Best Writing<br> The Dark of Hot Springs Island – Product of the Year<br> Frostbitten and Mutilated – Product of the Year</p> <p><strong>2019 – 17 Nominations, 5 Wins</strong><br> The Stygian Library – Judge’s Spotlight<br> *Mothership: Dead Planet – Best Adventure<br> Winter’s Daughter – Best Adventure<br> Winter’s daughter – Best Cover art<br> *A New Map of Hot Springs Island – Cartography<br> Silent Titans – Cartography<br> Midderlands Expanded – Cartography<br> *The Ultraviolet Grasslands – Best Free Product<br> **Mothership – Best Game<br> *The Black Hack 2nd Edition – Best Layout/Design<br> Questing Beast – Best Online Content<br> Silent Titans – Best Production Values<br> Mothership – Best Rules<br> Silent Titans – Best Writing<br> Troika – Best Writing<br> Mothership – Product of the year<br> Silent Titans – Product of the year</p> <p><strong>2020 – 19 Nominations, 11 Wins</strong><br> **A Pound of Flesh – Best Adventure<br> The Halls of Arden Vul Complete – Best Adventure<br> *Trilemma Adventures – Best Adventure<br> *Ultraviolet Grasslands – Best Cover Art<br> **Ultraviolet Grasslands – Best Interior Art<br> **Trilemma Adventures – Best Cartography<br> *Tunnel Goons – Best Free Game<br> *Mork Borg – Best Game<br> *A Pound of Flesh – Best Layout<br> **Mork Borg – Best Layout<br> Trilemma Adventures – Best Layout<br> Worm Witch – Best Monster<br> Old School Essentials Generators – Best Online Content<br> Appendix N Book Club – Best Podcast<br> Rakehell – Best Setting<br> Electric Bastionland – Best Writing<br> **Mork Borg – Best Writing<br> **Mork Borg – Product of the Year<br> Trilemma Adventures – Product of the Year</p> <p><strong>2021 – 16 Nominations, ?

In some ways I like it better than the term RPG as well. I was gratified to find that the person who invented the whole genre (David Wesely) <a href="http://pitsperilous.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-braunstein-experiment-wesely-weighs.html">felt the same way</a>.</p> <p>Since then, I’ve been on the lookout for instances of RPGs being called Adventure Games. Some of the first examples were in D&D. The Moldvay/Cook boxed sets put it right on their covers, and subsequent beginners boxes used it as well. It even ended up on the spines of AD&D books.</p> <div class="wp-block-group"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-gallery

Playing solo is awful, but with a crew of close friends/family members, it’s transcendent. A huge part of that is the ship battles, which can be approached with an intensely OSR sense of creative mayhem. There’s so many many strategies you can employ to take out someone’s ship, but even when you do it expertly (which I am very bad at) you’re on these large, fast vessels with a lot of <a href="https://falsemachine.blogspot.com/2017/07/held-kinetic-energy-in-old-school.html">Patrick Stuart’s held kinetic energy</a> so there’s so many variables and ways for things to go wrong. </p> <p>When you shoot cannons at enemy ships you want to hit them below the waterline, but that’s tricky because both ships are moving up and down on the waves as you move. You can also shoot down their masts to slow them, blast enemy PCs off the deck or shoot firebombs to light their ship on fire (which spreads). There are also magical cannonballs that can drop their anchor, seal all their supply barrels, make them all drunk, dance, sleep, or lame, or break their cannons. Each ship has harpoon guns on the front that you can use to latch on to enemy ships to pull them in, or reel in treasure, allies, or enemies in range. When you get hit below the waterline, water starts pouring in the hole which you have to patch by hand and then bail by scooping water into a bucket and throwing it over the side. BUT you might want a little bit of a leak because you can use it to put out fire on deck, or bail the water ONTO THE OTHER BOAT. There are barrels of gunpowder you can drop over the side and hope that enemy ships hit them, or you can swim one over to their boat, climb on board, and then blow it up. You can load yourself into your own cannons and have a friend FIRE YOU ONTO ENEMY SHIPS from 100 yards away.</p> <p>The game’s an amazing story generator. Instead of giving you game mechanics to manipulate and attack numbers that go up, the game just gives you tons of tools that you can use creatively and then waits to see who is going to be the cleverest. All the canons in the game do the same damage, all ships of the same class go the same speed. You don’t level up your character, you level up your real-world strategic skills.</p> <p>There’s basically no HUD in the game. Everything has to be done physically. To know wind direction you look up at the sky, to know what direction you’re facing you have to pull out a compass, to navigate you have to look at a map on a table. </p> <p>It’s also an extremely cooperative game and pretty easy to learn, so it’s ideal for hanging out with people in isolation who maybe don’t play many video games. You have to work together to even sail the ship effectively (steering, charting a course, adjusting the sails, scanning the horizon for enemies or floating barrels etc.) so you’re always talking to each other and doing something. You can play it super cheap for a month by paying $1 for an XBOX game pass (which works for PC as well) and then cancelling before the end of the first month. I might end up just buying it though.</p> </div> </article><article id="post-770" class="post-770 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-general post-preview"> <div class="post-header"> <h2 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://questingblog.com/24-hours-left-on-the-questing-beast-kickstarter/" rel="bookmark">24 hours left on the Questing Beast Kickstarter!</a> </h2> <div class="post-meta"> <span class="post-date"><a href="http://questingblog.com/24-hours-left-on-the-questing-beast-kickstarter/">February 15, 2020</a></span> <span class="date-sep"> / </span> <span class="post-author"><a href="http://questingblog.com/author/admin_ben/" title="Posts by Ben" rel="author">Ben</a></span> <span class="date-sep"> / </span> <a href="http://questingblog.com/24-hours-left-on-the-questing-beast-kickstarter/#comments">1 Comment</a> </div> </div> <div class="post-content entry-content"> <p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/questingbeast/the-waking">The latest adventure I’m working on for Zine Quest, The Waking of Willowby Hall</a>, is fully funded and has all its stretch goals unlocked!

A band of thieves has taken shelter within the manor’s crumbling walls, cowering with their ill-gotten poultry as the building shakes itself apart. But something else is stirring. The giant’s rampage has woken a group of revenant knights from their black slumber in the manor’s crypt, and they have called the bones of the manor’s old residents to their side in an effort to drive out the intruders.Will the party manage to loot the manor of its ancient relics, or succumb to the blades of its skeletal guardians? Who will make off with the goose and its golden eggs? Will anyone survive the giant’s onslaught? The only way to find out…is to play.</p> <p><strong>The Waking of Willowby Hall</strong> is a self-contained, 32-page adventure, presented in zine format. It’s designed to work as a one-shot, or to be dropped directly into a pre-existing campaign setting. Its focus is on ease of use, high interactivity, and a dangerous environment that rewards clever play. It will use minimalistic statblocks that are broadly compatible with Old-School D&D systems like Old-School Essentials or Knave, and are easily converted to D&D 5e or other fantasy RPGs. </p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="post-nav archive-nav group"> <a href="http://questingblog.com/page/2/" class="post-nav-older">« Older<span> posts</span></a> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar right" role="complementary"> <div id="custom_html-3" class="widget_text widget widget_custom_html"><div class="widget_text widget-content"><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><iframe src="https://questingbeast.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="550" style="border:1px solid #EEE;
