Awards* for the best gaming products of 2006 were handed out at the Origins International Game Expo earlier this month (Jul 7-9). We're proud to announce that our very own Colossal Red Dragon took top honors as Miniature of the Year!
All of the winners are listed below. This year's competition was especially competitive, particularly in the RPG categories, which were loaded with high-quality, deserving entries. We send our congratulations to all the winners.
*These awards, commonly called the Origins Awards, are handed out by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design, making them the closest thing gaming has to the Academy Awards. This was the 33rd year for these awards.
