Last night, the Diana Jones Award committee, of which I’m a part, announced its shortlist for its 2014 award, which honors the most excellent things in tabletop gaming from 2013. This year’s list includes:
- Evil Hat Productions, a publishing company run by Robert Donoghue and Fred Hicks
- Hillfolk, a roleplaying game written by Robin D. Laws (Pelgrane Press)
- Paizo Publishing, a publishing company run by Lisa Stevens
- ROFL!, a family card game designed by John Kovalic (Cryptozoic Entertainment)
- Terra Mystica, a strategy board-game designed by Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller (Feuerland Spiele/Z-Man Games)
Congrats to everyone involved in each of these wonderful games and companies!
For fuller descriptions of each of these fantastic things and why they each belong on the list, check out the Diana Jones Award site. We’ll give out the award at our annual party on August 13, the evening before Gen Con. If you’re an industry professional, ping me at matt@forbeck.com to get on the entry list.
