Since I *still* haven't seen an official announcement here, I must presume Atlas staff are still recovering from GenCon... ;-)

Atlas won the following Ennie awards:

Best Non-Open Gaming Product
Gold - Unknown Armies 2nd Edition (Atlas Games)

Best Rules Supplement
Gold - Dynasties & Demagogues (Atlas Games)

Congratulations!

Thank you. It was a thrilling honor to win these awards. I wish I could have been there on Friday night to see it happen myself, but I have seen a lovely digital photo that Sue Cook took of Michelle and Will up on stage accepting one of the awards.

"Why I'm in Love with Ken Hite, Reason #137"

Ken's latest Out of the Box column is up at

http://www.gamingreport.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=71

and he specifically cites Atlas getting two Ennies as evidence of the awards' "quality of nominations and winners".

It's high opinions like that which explain why I'm so proud to tell people (off-handedly, brushing imaginary lint from my shirt cuff), "Oh, I write books for Atlas Games."

cheers
