Here are the awards for posting. Many of them reflect the culmination of several years of narrative life, and there's a lot of variation in the awards.
Some obvious bonuses to skills have been left out because their rewards have already been reaped in gameplay. This is the case with several instances of photography for Thelonius and Cati, as well as in the few entries not mentioned at all.
As always, these awards are open to discussion, so let me know.
