The Origins Game Fair, which made news by dropping Larry Correia as a guest, was held in Columbus, OH last weekend. In any other year, the announcement of the 2018 Origins Award winners would have drawn the con’s biggest headlines.

Origins was very fun to attend. While I did not vote for all the winners, I can agree with the results.
(I never saw any GoH, though. I still think that is fake.)
I would have been really surprised if Warhammer 40K: Still Hammering hadn’t won in that category. I mean, duh. I’m sure the others were fine, but it’s Warhammer. Even people who don’t know games know that.
