The ENNIES Emporium 2026 is a collaboration between BackerKit and the ENNIE Awards, highlighting nominees’ projects all in one place.
It is officially ENNIES season. The prestigious tabletop awards will be announced at GenCon this year, with voting starting on July 10th (so check back then for more info). But before GenCon, before even the voting begins, you can explore the games nominated for the 2025 ENNIES all in one collection thanks to the ENNIES Emporium over on BackerKit.
There, you’ll find 21 new projects, each with a different spate of offerings. Everything from supplements and expansions to the core rules of whole systems. And often at a discount too. So if you’re looking for a new game to try, you might want to check out the 2026 ENNIES Emporium.
2026 ENnies Emporium – On BackerKit For The Next Eight Days
BackerKit and the ENNIES awards have collaborated on a sort of mega project where you can find different publishers with “ready-to-ship” projects all under the umbrella of the ENNIES emporium. It’s basically a hub that lets you check out the nominees from this year’s awards. Including publishers like Magpie Games and Exalted Funeral, or specific games like The Hidden Isle, the Tarot-based swashbuckling RPG.
The BackerKit emporium runs for another eight days (at press time), through July 16th, which is three days before voting closes. All you have to do is navigate to the BackerKit page and then hit “Explore Projects” which will take you to the hub.
Already, the projects have taken off and been a boon to some of the creators. Tim Roberts of Critical Kit Ltd., publisher of Punk is Dead, puts it beautifully:
“I am also filled with joy that we have had a good number of new backers for whom Punk is Dead will be their first experience outside of the bigger TTRPGs. We’ve also had the return of our loyal backers, picking up some of the new things we have, or things they have missed. Whatever your interest in this project, thank you.”
So if you want to find a new game at a good deal, or explore some of the lesser-seen sides of the tabletop RPG sphere of influence, you should definitely check out the ENNIES Emporium. These award-winning titles and ready-to-ship projects are a huge boon to folks on either side of the screen. You get new stuff to try, and designers and publishers have more resources to keep making new things and exploring and experimenting.
It’s enough to make you feel just a little bit hopeful about the future.
Check out the ENNIES Emporium before July 16th!
