Hall of Fame Nominations are Open!

[Aethera]

Every year, we ask our community to nominate the finest, most exceptional games on this site for inclusion in the prestigious Hall of Fame. It's that time again! What is the Hall of Fame, you ask? Check that out here, including a list of all games inducted.

As of today, March 15th, we're reopening nominations for the Hall of Fame! (Please read on for news!)

Here's your chance. Look over your games, anything that started at least a year ago today (completed or otherwise), see which one of them amazes you or shows the great writing on RPG Crossing, and come over to this thread to nominate it for inclusion in the Hall of Fame!

Please read the rules carefully before nominating, and then show us where to find the best games on the site!

NEW! There are some rules changes we're implementing this year, including two new categories, Hidden Gems and Extraordinary, which mean two more games will win each year from here out. You can read about Phase 1 changes and offer your feedback on what's new going forward.

In order to have these shiny new categories, we will need judges! If you would like to be a Hall of Fame judge for the class of 2023, you may not be in the running as a GM, and we'd prefer you weren't a player either in any of the nominated games. To apply, click here and fill out the brief form. The judges panel will be finalized by the time nominations close (April 15th) or a comprehensive panel is filled, whichever comes first, and there will be a rubric once Aethera figures it out. Judging the Hall of Fame will count toward the Blue Dragon badge created last year.

Winning games get moved into the Hall of Fame forum for everyone to read. Hall of Fame GMs get a shiny badge that shows up beside their name (like the amethyst badge up beside Aeth's name on this post, but in a variety of colors). And don't forget bragging rights! Finally, it should be noted for the Hall of Fame GMs that for the purposes of these games, you'll be treated as Community Supporters. Any folders, with or without passwords, subfolders, or anything else you would like, just ask and it shall be done. It's a perk of having such a great game!
