Fails GNG. Article on a commercial product (a game instructions booklet) has three references, two of which do not actually mention the product at all.
A routine BEFORE search (Google News, Google Books, newspapers.com, JSTOR) finds no RS to the following searches: (hillfolk AND RPG) OR (hillfolk AND game) OR (hillfolk AND "Robin Laws") except for this brief mention in a holiday gift list round-up on WUVM-FM radio .
The article claims the game won two awards, however: (1) we do not have an inherent notability criteria for commercial products which have won awards but otherwise fail GNG, (2) these are very tiny, niche awards that, themselves, are probably so un-notable that they don't qualify for WP articles. While the Origins Award is considered a penultimate gaming award, the barrier to entry to anyone creating an award is essentially non-existent so a reasonable cut-off has to be applied and the "Indie RPG Awards" and "Diana Jones Award" would realistically be the game industry's equivalent to the concrete industry's Alfred Lindell Award for Excellence in Reinforced Concrete Design ; something that is a relevant achievement to only a tiny sub-section of the population.
Redirect or Merge should not be applied because the term "Hillfolk" is too common and is more likely to be used by visitors searching for unrelated content such as Appalachian Americans than for info on a small game from 2013. Chetsford (talk) 20:02, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
