The ENnies are annual, fan-based awards for tabletop role-playing game products and publishers.

A role-playing game (RPG) is a type of game in which players assume the roles of characters and collaboratively create narratives. ... EN World is an online community which grew out of the messageboards for “Eric Noahs Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News” (on the web from 1999-2001). ...
