Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2020

As I do every year, I'm taking nominations for the MOST ANTICIPATED RPG poll for 2020. Here is last year's Top 10 (spoiler: the winner was Savage Worlds Adventure Edition). Previous winners include 13th Age (2013), Star Wars Force & Destiny (2015), Rifts for Savage Worlds (2016), Trudvang Chronicles (2017), and Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (2018).

As I do every year, I'm taking nominations for the MOST ANTICIPATED RPG poll for 2020. Here is last year's Top 10 (spoiler: the winner was Savage Worlds Adventure Edition).

What will be the most anticipated RPG of 2020?

We do this at the end of every year, and have done for several years now! Here's how it works:

We start with a nomination stage. That's this thread. You may nominate any standalone tabletop RPG due to be released to the general public in 2020. All nominated games will appear on the final ballot. A few rules:
  1. It must be a standalone tabletop RPG, NOT a supplement, setting, adventure, sourcebook, expansion, or accessory. If there is a QuickStart version, or a preview, it’s the full release that counts.
  2. It must be due out to the general public in 2020.
  3. It must be nominated by at least one person in this thread. Simply post the name of the game and the name of the publisher below to nominate it.
  4. Nominations will remain open for two weeks, until January 4th. Voting will take place shortly thereafter.
  5. Not your own game or one you’re affiliated with.

Last year's winner was Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (pictured above). You can see last year's top 10 here. Sometimes products make it into the list in more than one year; what can I say? Product schedules slip!

Rolemaster (Unified)

Iron Crown Enterprises

The core books are in the editing queue and it looks like this will be the year. I'm not sure if the title will be Rolemaster Unified (the working title of the beta) or just Rolemaster.

Dark Trails by David Baity. Stiff Whiskers Press. Is a weird west Lovecraftian RPG. David's hard work and talent stands out in character class creation and rules. Building on the Goodman Games Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, David has created rules for firing guns by pulling a card from a deck of Poker cards. The game doesn't stop there, David has also included rules that use Poker chips.
The Kickstarter funded in 3 hours and wonderful stretch goals were made.
And you can still get in on the Kickstarter. This is the most anticipated RPG of the year.
