Congratulations to @DerkG and team. A great interview highlighting many of the aspects of one of the most comprehensive wiki pages on Obsidian Portal. The site has been running for some years, so it is really good to see the team get this recognition of their work and adventuring.

Sweet. I love me some Great Pendragon Campaign. Congratulations to @DerkG and his group for the CotM. A great looking site that is taking full advantage of one of the seminal works in RPG history.

@guyredshirt Congratulations. It always makes me happy to see another Dresden Files RPG or Dresden Accelerated game win the award. I really enjoyed your NOLA. When my group was first deciding on where to set our game we gave serious thought to setting it New Orleans. Seattle won out by a hair. It is nice to see that someone else took the path we did not tred upon. :D
@guyredshirt cheers on your win! Of course as a native of New Orleans I'm going to dig into your stuff as soon as I can make time. Curious to see how you treat my city.
June's Campaign of the Month for 2021 has been posted! Congratulations to Whataguy2000 and the player roster of Curiosities and Acquisitions! Stop by the blog, give the interview a read (I loved this one personally), and then go read all about the exploits of The Legion of Hope!
July 2021's Campaign of the Month is The Coldfall Sanction! Congratulations go out to nicholsvictoria2 and all the players of this great game! Check out the interview and then swing by the campaign site!
@nicholsvictoria2 Congratulations! I have enjoyed the few times I got to play Gumshoe and it is fun to see it being used in such an interesting campaign!

It's time to reveal our October 2021 Campaign of the Month: Hogwarts and the Magic of the Founders! Be sure to take a peep at this magical campaign crafted by Marion_c and their players Don't worry, there's even a handy Google translate button for those of us who don't speak French! For more information on their adventures- and some insight into the system they created themselves head over to the blog for the interview! Congrats team!
Congratulations to Marion_C and team for winning Campaign of the Month. I loved the interview. It shows you have all worked very hard in creating the right gaming experience for your team to enjoy.
I am always interested in the "Pearls of Wisdom" section, and most GMs and players agree that "having fun" is the main incentive. Your campaign is no different, but I also like your statement that you flesh out group expectations at a Session Zero in your game. This may seem an obvious thing, but I really appreciate the fact that you have highlighted it in your answer.
