For those at GenCon, especially ENNIES nominees: the winner of each category is mainly an indication of market share and vote campaigns, not actual quality. If you were nominated, THAT is the real recognition that what you made is amazing and awesome. You’ve already won.

Attention #TTRPG community: If you found an indie game or supplement you like, take a moment to tell the creator on social media. Unlike big companies, indie devs WILL notice and often greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Sometimes it's the only way we know anyone likes our stuff!

Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment:
For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.
