2022 Diana Jones Award Shortlist

Four finalists for the 2022 Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming have been announced — a website, an activist and game designer, and two RPGs.

The award is given to the person, product, company, event or any other thing that has, in the opinion of the Diana Jones committee, best demonstrated the quality of ‘excellence’ in the world of tabletop gaming in the previous year.

In alphabetical order, the finalists are:

  • Across RPGSEA, a website and newsletter promoting Southeast Asian games.
  • Ajit George, an activist and game designer advocating for a more representative hobby games industry.
  • Haunted West, an epic weird west RPG with a focus on marginalized people.
  • Mothership, a stunning space horror RPG fueled by its community of contributors.

The website discusses each in detail under the “Finalists” tab on 2022 Award page.

The winner of the 2022 award will be announced on Wednesday, August 3, at the annual Diana Jones Award ceremony in Indianapolis, the unofficial start of the Gen Con Indy convention.
