Frequently Asked Questions

• Why isn't my favourite game nominated? Did you nominate it?
• Why isn't my nomination on the list? Check the nomination thread. If you made a valid nomination (name, link) and it's not in the poll, let me know ASAP so I can add it. The most common reasons for a game's nomination being invalid is because it's already available. Check DTRPG and the publisher's own website and make sure you can't already buy it there.
• Did I make a mistake? Almost certainly. If you spot a game on the list which doesn't qualify (usually because it's already available!) let me know so I can remove it.
• How does a game qualify? It must have been nominated by you in the nomination thread with a valid formatted nomination, it must be a standalone tabletop RPG (not a setting, adventure, supplement, etc.), and it's projected release date to the general public (not just Kickstarter backers) should be in 2024.

Do you mean Dreamlands for Call of Cthulhu?

sorry, I meant for CoC 7e

 

[hawkeyefan]

I had to go with:

• Stonetop- feels a bit weird to vote for a game I've been playing for more than a year, but at the same time, how can I not vote for it?
• Eat The Reich- because the premise is amazing and because Rowan, Rook, & Decard have yet to disappoint.
• Mothership 1E- Again, a bit odd to vote for a game I've had for a while, but I've only played a handful of games, and have been waiting for 1E to run a proper campaign.

Mothership took the place of Death Match Island, which would have been my original third choice. That's a good looking game, but I have to go with the three above.

for me, voted for Stonetop, Deathmatch Island, and Urban Shadows 2e. It was close between DMI and Cairn 2e, but I think it more likely that I will play Deathmatch Island as a one shot con game or with my indy game group for 2-3 sessions, than Cairn.
I'm hoping to actually get a longer term (10+ sessions) campaign going for Stonetop H2 2024 and then followed by same size campaign of Urban Shadows inH1 2025 (what?!? planning 2025 already?!)

1. The Electric State Roleplaying Game
2. Knave 2e
3. Pendragon 6e

 

[Retros_x]

My most anticipated rpg is definitely D&D One, but since the biggest RPG did not get nominated, I am choosing 13th age 2nd edition, Daggerhart and Knave 2E.

There are two types of people voting in this poll: The people choosing Deathmatch Island as their most-anticipated RPG and the people who haven't heard of it yet.

I’ve heard of it. I didn’t vote for it only because it really came down to that or Eat the Reich… and I had to go with Eat the Reich!

Cohors Cthulhu got one of my 3 votes too, which I wasn't even aware of until I read the nomination thread. Having homebrewed a series of adventures for Cthulhu Dark Ages 3e, I'm glad to see the mythos being adapted to another era. TBH though, while I'm a big fan of 2d20 Star Trek Adventures, I'm not so keen on the system for other settings and genres - have Dishonored and Infinity and they both fizzled for my group. I would have prefered an adaption of ancient Rome which used the CoC7 rules. I'll at least buy the PDF and get it to the table for a try.

Cthulhu Invictus is right there, ready to download.

I went for

Deathmatch Island, though I doubt I'll have a chance to run it. It's just very neat and beautifully presented.

Eat the Reich, which looks like a blast, and I'd love to take that system out for a spin.

Mythic Bastionland, the first McDowall game I'm really excited about. I like how it layers some complexity onto his previous games' super-light chassis.

Given the dystopian threads running through Deathmatch Island, I feel confident you can eat Germans in both games.
