It's the 50th Anniversary of Glorantha in 2016, and there is a new edition of RuneQuest that reunites it with both Glorantha and Chaosium for the first time in about 30 years. So that is significant. I'm also intrigued to see how The Design Mechanism works out without the RQ brand now - especially Mythic Greece.

For me, though, I'll be mainly looking forward to Traveller 2nd Edition along with Traveller: Mindjammer and Traveller: Prime Directive, Paranoia, Puppetland, Delta Green, Aquelarre, King Arthur Pendragon with a new layout and art, Kult 3rd, Unknown Armies 3rd, and possibly 20th Anniversary editions of Wraith and Changeling.

Wait, what?

OK, so first Mongoose makes RuneQuest II (not to be confused with Runequest 2nd ed from Way Back Then). Then they lose the license, and re-release the game, slightly altered as Legend.

Then The Design Mechanism gets the RuneQuest license, and makes a few changes (on the order of D&D 3.0 to 3.5, or possibly less), and release it as RuneQuest 6. Now they've lost the license, and are ​also re-releasing their game under a different name? So there will soon be two former-RuneQuest-clones around?

Chaosium had financial problems, and The Design Mechanism came in with the cash that probably stopped them folding. There's been a bit of a shuffle, so Chaosium will be publishing Runequest again with a specifically Gloranthan edition (reputedly to be based more on BRP) while TDM will carry on publishing RQ6 but with a different name and with the "Mythic" series of supplements for it.

Isn't Glorantha's fiftieth anniversary this year? At least for published products. White Bear and Red Moon was 1975, iirc.

I do believe a Witcher tabletop game is coming out this year though and will definitely pick that up.
