In 2020, Massif Press withdrew its RPG Lancer from the competition over a 2017 controversy, where a game module for the Lamentations of the Flame Princess system titled Blood in the Chocolate received a Gold award in the Adventure category, despite being widely described as 'offensive', 'particularly icky', and 'simply ridiculous' by press, industry members and the publisher itself.<ref>{{cite web|website=Bell of Lost Souls|url=https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/07/rpg-lancer-withdraws-from-ennies-protesting-controversial-title-receiving-award.html|title=RPG: Lancer Withdraws From ENnies, Protesting Controversial Title Receiving Award|date=2 July 2, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|website=Geek Native|url=https://www.geeknative.com/74293/ennies-2020-nominee-will-refuse-any-awards-until-organisers-address-2017-controversy/|title= ENnies 2020 nominee will refuse any awards until organisers address 2017 controversy|date=30 June 30, 2020}}</ref> Charlie Hall, commented for ''[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]'' in 2020, commented:<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hall|first=Charlie|date=June 30, 2020-06-30|title=2020's best tabletop RPGs (so far), as chosen by fans|url=https://www.polygon.com/2020/6/30/21308168/2020s-best-tabletop-rpgs-chosen-by-fans|access-date=2022-02-February 11, 2022|website=Polygon|language=en-US}}</ref> {{quoteBlockquote|text=The Ennies are unique among gaming awards. Judges are volunteers, who follow a strict set of ethical guidelines. Chief among them is the vow not to have any professional relationship with any RPG publisher in the lead up to the awards.

Once the short list has been created, voting on the final winners is open to all.}}
