[VOTING IS OVER!] Vote For The Most Anticipated RPG of 2021!

As we do every year, it's time to vote for the most anticipated tabletop roleplaying game of 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 - will it make it onto the list for the third year running?) 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).

VOTING IS NOW OVER

We took nominations. Now it's time to vote. What will be the most anticipated RPG of 2021? You can vote for up to 3 games. Voting will be open for 7 days, until January 2nd.

Frequently Asked Questions

• 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.
• 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 2021.

Egg Embry here runs a regular series of posts on the latest Kickstarters and print ready RPGs and most on the voting list were mentioned on those

Haven't been active on the forums for quite a time, thanks for the thread recommendation.

Happy New Year.
Looks like voting closes tomorrow.

And I guess I must take Fallout after the near apocalyptic 2020 experience.

We’ve had thousands of votes, but there’s literally 4 votes between the top two and it closes tomorrow!

Thanks for the bump. I guess Dune will win but I dunno, I can't imagine myself playing Dune in TTRPG.

The fact that I've heard of almost none of these makes me realize how out-of-touch I've become with RPGs since COVID.

I read pretty regularly here and I have heard of only a few of these too. That just reminds me of how niche most RPGs really are. If this were the pre-Kickstarter days, most of these would be lucky to ever publish more than the core rules before disappearing into the "Lack of Sales" Afterlife. In the 80's and 90's, I bought the core rules for many games, only for them to get little or no support.

I voted for Swords of the Serpentine (the pre-release is superb), Legends of Greyskull (because He-Man), and Shadow of the Weird Wizard (as a less grimdark evolution of SotDL).

I think only 1 of those I voted for have a chance of actually being top 10. Voted for Brancalonia, The Troubleshooters, and Rivers of London.

The ones I think will be in the top 10 (no idea of order, so alphabetically. Just writing them down to see how well I guessed):
Achtung Cthulhu 2d20, Dune, Fallout 2d20, Hellboy, Legends of Grayskull, Rivers of London, SLA Industried 2e, The one Ring 2e, Trudvagn Adventures for 5e, Twilight 2000.

Is it about the same number of voters and nominations as previous years?

Not King Arthur Pendragon 6E?

Not King Arthur Pendragon 6E?

<shrug>

Nope. I think it might be too niche. That said, I do understand that a lot of those that have played previous versions hold it in high regard, so I think it will do well in sales. The one game on my list that I am most unsure of is Rivers of London. So Pendragon 6e or Werewolf 5e might very well take that place. But this was only my guesses.
