Judges

Amelia Antrim
I am a podcaster and game enthusiast. I am one of the co-hosts of Character Creation Cast, a show that explores a variety of RPG systems through the lens of character creation. Each month we sit down with designers, podcasters, and game enthusiasts and run through the process of character creation in a game, and talk about what that process tells us about the game itself, our roles as players, and even about games in general.

Di
Hi, I‘m Di! I’m a TRPG streamer/vtuber, wrote for Gnomestew (a GM-advice blog), and rabble-rouse on Twitter @dicequeenDi. As a tabletop rpg streamer I talks about design and how to improve the game, the experience, and GMing techniques. I’m highly analytical and have been dealing with tabletop rpgs for 14 years—GMing from the beginning.

Salim Hakima
I am a freelance game designer and filmmaker. I have made a few board games at SCAD that I plan on publishing at some point in the future. I am most active on twitter where I retweet and support other ttrpg projects, writers, and artists. This will be my second time as a judge and I reviewing all the submissions. There is a lot more creativity out there and i would love to review more of it.

Christopher Gath
I‘ve been gaming for decades and always am on the lookout for the new and creative games and books people are publishing. I’ve been an ENNIE Judge before so I understand as well as anyone what it takes to be successful. I run games online, at conventions and gamedays, and volunteer my time running RPGs for teens at the local library. During the Pandemic I’ve taken to engaging people on line by talking about my favorite RPG books and that has been a fun experience.

Christian aka "Shiny"
I am a long time lover of TTRPGs and my life effectively revolves around them. One of the main things we do for fun at our house is listen to TTRPG podcasts, plan/create stuff for new games and play any fun games we can get our hands on!
