For those who haven’t seen it elsewhere: the nomination round for the 2014 XYZZY Awards is open until the end of April 4. Here are the details: http://xyzzyawards.org/?p=405
My impression is that turnout for the nomination round is typically pretty low. Personally I find the XYZZY Awards to be pretty useful, as a way to recognize good games that aren’t necessarily comp winners, so I think that more participation would be better. So go register, have a look at the (gigantic!) eligible games list to jog your memory, maybe play a few that you didn’t get around to, and submit your votes!
