Except that this was listed as a sourcebook/adventure. (And is in large part
a novella...or "whatever the proper literary term is for a fictional work of
that number of pages").

Yet another update on the Shadowrun Academy Awards that I'm running.
Don't worry if everything below this has > symbols in front of it. It's
still current.

Also, if you've already voted, there's a new category down below - the
Hall of Infamy - as suggested by AlSeyMer. You don't HAVE to vote, but
you can if you want to.

Awards nominations are still underway. I've had 15-odd replies, and I
know that there are a HELL of a lot more people than that on the list -
so if you haven't already voted, please do...

The categories are...

Best Adventure (inc. any PURE module - e.g. not including the NAN
sourcebooks, or Mob War)
Best Adventure/Sourcebook (i.e. anything with an adventure (or five) in
it that doesn't fall into the above category - inc. Mob War, NAN
sourcebooks, Blood in the Boardroom)
Best Novel
Best People, Place and Thingy Sourcebook (e.g. Cyberpirates, Tir
Tairngire, Threats)
Best Rules Sourcebook (e.g. BBB1, 2 and 3, Rigger 2, Awakenings)
Best Shadowrun Product (this is an overall category - just your absolute
favourite Shadowrun product EVER).

Mail me privately if you wish to vote. If you have any ideas for
categories you think I've forgotten, let me know. If you have any ideas
for an award name better than the one below, let me know.

I'll compile the results and figure out the top five in each category.
The Hall of Fame will consist of the top product in each category. If
you want to know the results, let me know. I'm not sure if GridSec would
appreciate me posting them on the list. Guys? Can I?

I'll be running this until the end of February or thereabouts. There
will be NO awards unless I get at least 25 voters. Otherwise its just
REALLY pathetic. :)

*Doc' starts making up some gold-plated dragons with their pants around
their ankles in full moon - The Dunkies...*

Doc' - Just call me Dick Clark

P.S. Anyone who can come up with a better name for Shadowrun Academy
Awards trophies than I did gets...a sloppy kiss and a free
SKutRing...right now, it seems that poor, old Scott Wheelock is going to
get done for this. :)

P.P.S. There is now a new category - a Worst Of, also known as the Hall
of Infamy. Basically, what, in your opinion, is the WORST Shadowrun
product you've ever seen? It can be in ANY category - sourcebook,
adventure, novel, whatever.

Errr...okay. This one is pretty dated. Ignore it. The most current
update on the Awards is the one mentioning the new category - the Worst
Of category.

*Doc' thinks they haven't QUITE got all the invae...errr...bug
spirits...errr...bugs ironed out of the new list yet.*
