Hey everyone – in an unexpected turn of events, World Wide Wrestling is now an award-winning roleplaying game!
The Indie RPG Awards are an annual public-vote award that goes all the way back to 2002. This time around, World Wide Wrestling shares the Indie Game of the Year 2015 award with Jason Morningstar’s Night Witches (and that is good company to be in, indeed).
Perhaps more personally fulfilling to me is that it also won the Best Support 2015 sub-award, which is rad. “Support” is a nebulous thing to define in RPG circles, but I choose to see it as being recognized for the vibrant and positive community that has grown up around the game, rooted both in this community and the overlapping circles of people playing, recording, sharing and talking about it over the last year. So thank you all for that!
(Check out all the awards for a snapshot of the current state of independent game publishing – one cool thing about this award is that it’s always a diverse set of entries and there’s always something new and surprising in the lineup.)
