OnTableTop Industry Awards For 2023
February 17, 2024 by crew
Join us for the OnTableTop Industry Awards For 2023 where we are honouring the best tabletop games and products from last year.
We sat down to pick our favourites from a few different categories and have chosen both a shortlist of finalists and the winners for each.

Congrats to all the winners
I’ve been struggling to paint Napoleonic French for The Silver Bayonet with all the conflicting uniform information on the internet. I almost get finished painting all the colours after wasting hours going back and forth on the internet. Then Gerry shows the Piano Wargames website with their painting guides.

Yes and I did not follow the SOP. Please don’t send Alec Baldwin round to my house. (Removed link to Glen Garry Glen Ross)
I can not believe Moonstone did not show up!!!! Since mine is coming in March.

Dark site studios are great but the availability is limited in the UK. I recently discovered they have stl files for some minis available so I’ve been adding a couple to my alien range. Makes things easier to get hold of
Great Show and some great look backs. I must have missed the book Talking Miniatures though, might need to get a copy of that.
I have to disagree with the thing about world of Darkness being to RPGs what Games Workshop is to miniatures. D&D is, and has been for as long as I can remember, the gateway drug to RPGs.
Great to see ‘Black Site Studios’ receive some recognition and love! ??
Hi peeps, as promised we have now added links to all the companies in the video description, congratulations to all the winners!
