2006 Origins Awards Winners Announced!
Yeah, they run a year behind. Last night one of most star-studded awards events in gaming took place (not that there are many), the 32nd Annual Origins Awards at the Origins International Game Expo (ongoing till the 8th), hosted by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design (AAGAD). We still have pretty much just the bare minimum on info from the show, but there were a few strange calls, a few quirky accepters (apparently Erik Mona had a few quips accepting for canceled Dragon and Dungeon magazines), and lots of tiny trophy ladies (representations of the muse Calliope). Hit the jump for a look at the winners!
