It's that time of year again! Nominate Your Most Anticipated Games of 2019

Towards the end of every year, we all vote on the ten most anticipated tabletop RPGs for the following year. It's been a tradition for a few years now. Here's last year's 10 most anticipated games, the winner being Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. Previous winners include 13th Age (2013), Star Wars Force & Destiny (2015), Rifts for Savage Worlds (2016), and Trudvang Chronicles (2017).
And we're doing it all again this year! 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 2019. 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.
  2. It must be due out to the general public in 2019.
  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. Not your own game or one you’re affiliated with.
Nominations will remain open for two weeks, until November 15th. Voting will take place at the end of the month.

Last year's winner was Vampire The Masquerade 5th Edition (pictured above). You can see last year's top 10 here. The previous year it was Trudvang Chronicles. Sometimes products make it into the list in more than one year; what can I say? Product schedules slip!

No add-ons - that rules out a lot. I‘ll say DCC Lankhmar (Goodman Games), then. And probably also Sword of the Serpentine (Pelgrane Press), although I am not sure if it will actually be out in 2019.
Does Things from the Flood (Fria Ligan) count because it can be played stand-alone? If so, then that is my clear favourite.

Isn't there a new edition of Pendragon coming out next year?
It's already out, to be fair, it's just been slow in coming to the kickstarter backers (to be fair, Nocturnal Media have had a lot of tragedy over the last year or so, with both Stewart Weick and Greg Stafford passing away).

The 5.2 King Arthur Pendragon isn't as much a new edition, as much as it is a new layout - based upon the Spanish edition of the game. The rules and words haven't changed - and it will probably get a wider circulation once the various Nocturnal Kickstarters that had the book as an add-on get fulfilled. For the record, I have mine already and it's terrific - the best fantasy RPG of all time, in my unhumble opinion.

The exciting news announced this year is that there is a new developer - David Larkins - whose plans include a number of new directions. Firstly, Paladin (which was one of the kickstarters) is a development of Pendragon rules towards playing Knights (Paladins) in the Frankish realm of King Charlemagne. That will be out next year sometime.

Then, back in Britain again there will be a Book of Magic (a game that you can play wizards rather than knights). following on, there are plans for Myrmidon (Ancient Greece) and Samurai (historical Japan).

Also from Nocturnal, we should see Aquelarre - the spanish medieval horror game, with rules similar to RuneQuest, which should also see a wide release next year.

My most anticipated has been already nominated at least once, so I'll just add that, as per the rule of this thread, Trinity Continuum: Aeon is not a valid nomination, while Trinity Continuum: Core is valid.
