BEST PRODUCTION, 2012
This Sub-Award goes to the designer who makes not only excellent games of rules and settings, but makes excellent games that are imminently readable and catchy to the eye. It could be through primarily layout and desktop publishing skills, followed by the use of art (not necessarily the best art, just art used to maximize the effect of the layout), innovative or creative new methods of game layout, clarity and readability of the text, materials used in the construction of the game, or, in the case of PDF games, the most effective use of all the features of PDF publishing. This award goes to the game or supplement that shows off the best "Mad Graphical Design and Layout Skillz".

Durance by Jason Morningstar / with 27 points
The Kickstarter funds really helped make this a beautiful book.
The art, fonts, illos and production of Durance are of the very highest order. Those lucky enough (or smart enough) to get the hardcover from Kickstarter will know how lush the hardcover laminate feels beneath your touch. Sublime. Perfect for any Dimber Damber.
