The annual ENnie Awards have posted their list of nominations plus their Judges’ Spotlight awards — and the kobolds are in the running!
I’m honored and delighted to see the Kobold Guide to Magic and the Midgard Bestiary: 13th Age Compatible Edition nominated. It’s always gratifying to have a book nominated that’s designed to bring new professionals into the industry; and the Bestiary is the first 13th Age title we’ve done for that system, so clearly we’re on to something there.
I’m also very pleased that Deep Magic is a 2014 Judges’ Spotlight Winner! Congrats to all the nominees this year. Kobold Press is in great company and the f
ield looks strong.
I’d like to thank all those who contributed their wonderful work to Kobold Press this year, and special thanks go to the fans, who continue to support our efforts to bring you fun games to play.
Onward!
Oh, and if 100 people comment on this post, I’ll get a new picture without the helmet. Or heck, might just wear the policeman’s helmet to the ENnies ceremony this year.
Congratulations on the nominations! I know I’ll be voting for Kobold Press this year.
Personally, I’m in favor of you wearing the helmet to the ENnies.
Hmm… not sure why anyone would *not* want to see the helmet.
Congrats on the nominations!
My vote is for wearing the hat. ;)
100 post? Challenge accepted!
Did nobody warn you?
About the Fawtlies?
At risk of running up the comment count myself, I guess I should say, not just 1 person commenting over and over.
Though yes, the thought did cross my mind that challenges on the Internet are sometimes foolish things. :)
Sad LPM is sad.
Still there are many of us!
I’m confident that many people will want to congratulate the Kobolds on their ENnie nominations. I have spread the word…
Huzzah!! Congratulations guys!
I post here in hopes that WB will wear the helmet to the Ennies. Also–congratulations are due.
I have a lot more to say fawtly-wise, which is to say I have nothing to contribute, I can post on the job, and I’m about to spam the living crap out of this comment thread.
Lastly, when you say “not just 1 person commenting over and over” does “person” denote the actual flesh, or do our headmates count? The reason being that I know that the not only mine, but also the fleshes of Kirk Moore, Mike Welham, Flash XXX all house a number of actual “persons”.
Caso en la convención!!! Y muchas felicidades por las nominaciones y el Spotlight win!
Kuddos for the Kobolds!!!
Surely Wolfgang remembers we still exist, right? Congrats on the honors, WB and Co.!
Helmet! Helmet! *ahem* I mean Congrats.
Go KOBOLDS!
Huzzah!
Bravo sir, bravo.
Helmet! Helmet! Helmet!
If I had a helmet like that, I’d wear it everywhere.

Wolfgang’s dog did all the work. He’s a fake.
Congratulations!
For the Ennies, ditch the helmet for the Deep Magic fire mage robes …
And heartfelt congratulations. All well-deserved.
It’s a trap! The 100th reply will damage someones monitor in a way that will display that picture every 5th frame…..
I love traps…..hehe
van’a’ ‘ej jagh Qaw’
Only a lousy hundred comments. Or is that 100 peeps each with their own post? Because we could do 100 in our sleep.
Oh yeah more importantly, congratulations!!!!
Congrats! Hope you win AND keep the helmet. After all, you are an authority.
Congratulations, Wolfgang!
Thank you, everyone! The helmet is starting to seem almost plausible.
You made me learn a new term: “custodian helmet”.
‘Nother FAWTLy chiming in. HELMET!
Congrats! I was going to ask if you would wear the helmet to the ceremony! :D
congratulations :)
“Surely the fact that a uniformed police officer is wearing his hair below his collar will make him no less identifiable as a policeman.” : )
Seriously, congratulations to Kobold Press. But I think Deep Magic got robbed.
Thrilled to see ASH LAW and Wade Rockett’s work recognized for the Midgard Bestiary for 13th Age. Very proud of them both. Of course they started based on the excellent work for the Pathfinder and 4e versions. Hmm – perhaps I should see if there is another good monster to convert like I did with the Dragonleaf Tree…
And the Overlord definitely needs a funny hat for the award ceremony.
Looking good in that sporty hat!
I get where wearing a hat comes from, but where does the idea for a police man’s hat come from? Is there a joke I’m missing or did you just get one you want to use, or what?
A magical policeman’s hat that temporarily gives a bonus +2 to any reaction based rolls when interacting with NPCs?
Lewis, at risk of adding to the total number of comments, the idea of a policeman’s helmet comes from the Jeeves & Wooster novels by P.G. Wodehouse (and later TV shows with Fry & Laurie).
I’m rather fond of the novels, and they distill a certain era of British-ness down into a few great stories and characters.
That *particular* helmet I got in Canada, where I took part judging a costume contest. Somewhat long story, but ever since I trot out the helmet for special occasions. Most recently, I got to take it to NorWesCon, where I was honored to be on a panel about Wodehouse with Michael Moorcock. Mr. Moorcock read the stories when they first appeared in British magazines in the 30 and 40s.
TL/DR: Blame the Brits for the helmet. :)
Add one more vote for the policeman’s cap!
I’d enjoy having you arrive in your policeman’s helmet.
Yes, please do.
Congrats, Kobolds!
