Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2021

As I do every year, I'm taking nominations for the MOST ANTICIPATED RPG poll for the coming year. Here is last year's Top 10 (spoiler: the winner was the Dune RPG, which hasn't actually made it out yet). Previous winners include 13th Age (2013), Star Wars Force & Destiny (2015), Rifts for Savage Worlds (2016), Trudvang Chronicles , and Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (2018), and Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (2019). What will be the most anticipated RPG of 2021?

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 2021. All nominated games will appear on the final ballot. To nominate a game, simply make a reply in this thread. 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 2021. The important date is the date the general public can purchase the book. That's not Kickstarter fulfillment dates or pre-orders.
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 December 22nd. Voting will take place shortly thereafter.
5. Not your own game or one you’re affiliated with.
6. Include a link. Don't make me Google to try guess what you mean! No linky, no nommy.

Last year's winner was Dune (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!

I did put the link in. It's in the name. Does it have to be in a different format?

Fading Suns : Pax Alexius (Fading Suns 4th edition) - Ulisses Spielle International.
It was nominated last year but, like Dune, schedules slip.
I have followed FS since 1st edition and I am really looking forward to this one.

The kickstarter has a "for retailers" reward level, where they could get a few copies of the book.

Stronger argument for your point is that it is available in pdf and as a web offering.

Fair enough. I thought it was already into distribution.

Several friends already received their Cortex Prime books and even Cyberpunk

I got mine yesterday.

Obviously, I'm gonna nominate Chromatic Dungeons

View attachment 129804

By Izegrim Creations. OSR TSR Era D&D clone with revised presentation and mechanics to reflect a more welcoming and inclusive approach to the old school D&D experience (including a business rule that if a piece or art depicts an person inspired by a real world ethnic/minority group, then the artist will belong to the same group that the art depicts to avoid cultural appropriation risks and to ensure respectful representation).

How does the art thing work when more than one ethnicity is shown?
