Best of Glorantha 2001

May 17, 2002: Winners Announced

At last, we can announce the Best of Glorantha 2001 winners.

April 19, 2002: Voting Deadline Extended

Due to technical problems with Issaries, Inc.'s email over the last several weeks, we do not feel certain that we have received all votes for the Best of Glorantha 2001. If there is any chance that votes have been rerouted into the ether, in the interest of fairness we feel that it has to be done over again. We apologize to all for the inconvenience, but it is better to be sure that all votes are counted.

Accordingly, we are asking that anyone who previously submitted votes resubmit them. We will accept any and all votes until Midnight PST Tuesday, April 30, 2002. After reviewing the Voting Rules, you can go to the newly-inaugurated Voting Form to cast your vote!

Thanks for all your patience with this process.

Nomination procedures were also moved to a separate page to make this one easier to read.

Winners receive public kudos from Greg Stafford and Issaries, plus a nifty certificate suitable for framing.

Life of Moonson (Gloranthan material from the LARP of the same name by Nick Brooke, Chris Gidlow, David Hall and Kevin Jacklin, with Rick Meints and Michael O'Brien). (This nomination was briefly disqualified, then reinstated after further consdieration, since the work was never actually published prior to 2001. We apologize for any consternation its disqualification might have caused.)

Bruce Ferrie's Gloranthan myths
(Bruce's myths were nominated both in toto and individually for "How Eurmal Defeated Elmal's Geas"; we have decided to specify the nomination to be for the entire set of myths.)
