Thanks to Vivanter for getting things properly going.
What a year it has been. Mountains of good stuff has been produced, and these picks will by necessity be those that stuck in the mind for one reason or another. Any obvious omissions are my fault, and there is never any accounting for taste.
In all cases a Worthy Contender could easily have been a Nomination, and I will have gone back and forwards on them - generally the Nominations have a certain secret, invisible, ephemeral puissance probably only detectable to me. Contenders appear in no particular order.
With that established, the categories:
DUNGEON
Garamondia's Nomination: Prime's Cry Me a River
Worthy Contenders:
- Bad Doctor's The Kiss Factory
- Phlox's Stone Bodies
- Loch's Aixin Lake Caravanserai
- Lochs Carrefour Bunker
- Vayra's Keep 451
