I must admit that I included this category as a lark, but as I stated in the initial posts of the awAARds thread, we have this weekly for a reason. I could not imagine at that time that we might see 14 voters give voice to 33 different characters!
It is an interesting mix and as the title above suggests, we have ourselves a winner! Thus, let us congratulate both Duke Foulques and @JabberJock14 for the work done in Before Plantagenet – A House d’Anjou AAR in CKII!
Our other nominees:
The above works encompass not just narrative work but the full spectrum of styles and touch nearly all of the games. CKII is certainly well represented, but there are other great characters out there, to be sure, and it is shown by these numbers!
It was a very close race, I don't mind telling you and it was only in the final days that one of our favorites - Queen Wulfryth - found defeat from the Duke d'Anjou! I know well that she would not be happy but it is a testament to the power of the written word that we should have so many (some of us even got multiple characters nominated.) In all just some great work done by all considered and well done to each and every one for creating a memorable and exciting character that sticks in the mind and lasts!
Well done @JabberJock14, especially after your weekly nod of late. It proves the lasting power of the Duke. Great work and great characters deserve to be acknowledged and this one is very well earned!
(Look tomorrow for Newcomer of the Year!)
