Question:  The Mistborn Adventure Game is a pen and paper role playing game by an american publisher of role-playing games that won nominations for awards in what year?
Context: MerpCon is an acronym for "Middle-Earth Role Playing Convention", a role playing game convention dedicated solely to role-playing gaming in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.  The event is held annually on the last weekend of July and runs for 3 days from Friday, through to the end of Sunday (and sometimes a little into the following Monday morning).  To date MerpCon has been held each year in Spokane, WA, USA.  Beginning in 2009 MerpCon began to transition to being called Tolkienmoot as this convention's venue began to expand to include more Tolkien-related activities, events, and guests beyond just role playing in Middle-earth. Living Campaigns are a gaming format within the table-top role-playing game community that provide the opportunity for play by an extended community within a shared universe.  In contrast to traditional isolated role-playing games, living campaigns allow and encourage players to develop characters that can be played at games run by many different game masters, but which share a game world and campaign setting, as well as a plot line that is overseen by a central core of professional or volunteer editors and contributors.  Many living campaigns serve a dual role of providing a creative outlet for highly involved volunteer contributors while also serving as a marketing tool for the publisher of the game system that is the focus of the living campaign.  While the earliest living campaigns were run by the RPGA (Role Playing Gamer's Association), now a division of Wizards of the Coast, many groups around the world run active living campaigns which are independent or sponsored by other publishers. Imagine (printed under the long title Imagine: Adventure Game Magazine) was a monthly magazine dedicated to the first edition "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" and "Dungeons and Dragons" role playing game systems published by TSR UK Limited. An online text-based role playing game is a role-playing game played online using a solely text-based interface.  Online text-based role playing games date to 1978, with the creation of "MUD1", which began the MUD heritage that culminates in today's MMORPGs.  Some online-text based role playing games are video games, but some are organized and played entirely by humans through text-based communication.  Over the years, games have used TELNET, internet forums, IRC, email and social networking websites as their media. Role-playing game software, as opposed to role-playing video games, is a software intended to assist in developing and running of role-playing games.  It does not allow the game to be played entirely within the computer.  Such software assist in the drawing of maps, player character and non-player character creation, generation of monsters, and provision of dice rolls and their results.  The software may be specific to a single role playing game system, or flexible enough to be applied to multiple game models.
