The Diana Jones Award committee gave out its award during Gen Con, a few weeks back. The site has just been updated with news on the results and pictures of the ceremony.
Before I had the honor of announcing the DJA winner for this year, Andy Kitkowski gave out the Indie RPG Awards.

I’m off to Gen Con early tomorrow morning, so there will be no big update this week. I hope to have lots of news to share next week, or at least some great Gen Con stories. If you’ll be at the show, please stop by the Green Ronin booth and say hi. Or find me at one of my seminars or book signings. All the details are posted on the Upcoming Appearances page. I hope to see you there!

Human Head Studios is proud to present three special events at this year’s Gen Con. This includes an ongoing series of demonstrations of Dracula’s Revenge™, a fast-playing, horror-themed, tabletop game of tactical combat. To play in one of the demos, players must simply stop by the Green Ronin Publishing booth. Each player’s name will be entered into a drawing, and at 3:30 PM each day, Human Head Studios will draw a name from that day’s players and reward the winner with a brand-new PC graphics card courtesy of ATI. There is no cost to enter, but players must be present to win.
