You need to put the link in there (other than on the cartoon) when its ready to go live.
Also its http://www.ennie-awards.com and not as in the cartoon http://www.ennieawards.com, small detail I know.

Why would you champion the micropress and yet tell the voters to just look at One Bad Egg for electronic book. Besides splitting the vote between two options for the same company, you ignore that Open Design has quietly been busting its scaly-kobold-like hump since 2006. While the Diana Jones award is great, the adventures the patrons and contributors have been creating are just as deserving of a nod.

Along with that, I’d say you ought to be offering some justification as to why these underdogs are more deserving! All you’ve given us is some direction. Give me the reasoning that goes with it.

Can I ask why you dont’ consider Wolfgang Baur’s Open Design an Underdog? (Kobold Quarterly, Blood of the Gorgon, Tales of Zobek) that’s a one man opperation.
Also I think its a bad idea to split votes if you trying to lead a revolution, pick one an actually LEAD!

I’d say that Mythmere’s Swords & Wizardry has a pretty good position as underdog doing indie work.
