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 2025.

Lots of cool RPGs, but I think that the same way Shadowdark was the game of the year in 2024, Dolmenwood will be in 2025.

It does seem to get the most buzz. I think you're likely right about the results.

A part of me suspects that it will actually be released in 2026. Even if the writing is finished this year, which it likely will be, then it becomes an additional matter of getting the books created and shipped to backers. That's a common area of hiccups, problems, and delays.

May be especially tricky with predicted Tariffs in the US.
Even for folks outside US; as Penny Lantern and Jason and Jeremy are all US based afaik.

Above of course applies to every one in the new year, and there are other things too, like EU's new law.

I am really anticipating "Deathbringer" it may not be a 2025 thing but it would be cool to at least see crowdfunding open up before the end of the year.

1) Terry Pratchett's Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork (Modiphius)
2) Pico: Tiny Bugs, Big World (Mythworks)

For me it's DC20, Daggerheart and Starfinder 2, Though I was sad I could not vote for two more because the Coriolis one is promising and Ashes sounds intriguing.

13th age
Draw steel

Nimble, which I failed to nominate.

After reviewing just about every option today, Astroprisma is definitely the most beautiful gem I’ve missed this year.
