Chaosium has done exceptionally well at the 2019 ENnies. Held in Gen Con every year the ENnies are one of the most prestigious prizes a publisher or contributor to the RPG industry could hope to win.
Chaosium won either Gold or Silver for every category they were nominated in and took home seven wins. Free League Publishing won four times on their own and twice in partnership with Järnringen.
Kenneth Hite, writing for Pelgrane Press, took Gold for The Fall of Delta Green in Best Setting which pushed Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu – Terror Australis 2e into Silver.
The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society took Gold for Best RPG Related Product with Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: Masks of Nyarlathotep which pushed Chaosium’s own Miskatonic University: The Restricted Collection into Silver.
