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.

Maybe it's just me, but with the site in dark mode it's difficult to see the checked boxes

I had to switch mode to light / white to see / vote... then it was back to black For ordinary reading I find the dark mode better, but for this, the opposite.

To the surprise of nobody who knows me:

• Cohors Cthulhu
• Cold City & Hot War
• QuestWorlds

The people who aren't voting for So You've Met A Thousand Year Old Vampire presumably never played the amazing Thousand Year Old Vampire.

 

[Parmandur]

That is a ton. Wow! Personally, I will pick a childhood computer strategy game turned RPG from the Polish Team under Modiphus so "Heroes of Might and Magic" for me.

But just the sheer demographic magnitude of Brandon Sanderson's readers fanbase will likely earn Cosmere top win here like it did on Kickstarter. Followed by Terry Pratchett's vast reading fanbase.

Yeah, I chose Heroes of Might & Magic along with the Cosmere RPG and Exodus from WotC.

Land of Eem
Draw Steel
Dolmenwood

I’m sure Draw Steel and Dolmenwood will get a respectable amount of votes. As will all the games here they all sound like a lot of fun. But Land of Eem is a game that I think deserves a lot more attention, so I’m hoping that more people will notice it.

 

[SlyFlourish]

I voted 13th Age, Dolmenwood, and Draw Steel. They all look awesome.

 

[Arakkas]

I am surprised how many second editions we're going to see in 2025, it's quite a lot. But I'm happy to see that even non-major studios are able to evolve and iterate on older titles, and that it's not always a one-and-done thing. Good times to be a TTRPG game, I guess

13th Age 2E - if I could’ve voted for it three times I would’ve! My in-person group is playing a mishmash of 13th Age 1E rules with some changes that are close to 2E. Looking forward to getting more from the kickstarter / I backed this one

Cosmere - big fan of the Stormlight series and some of the rest of the Cosmere. I didn’t back the kickstarter because I don’t have a group that would play it, but I’m rooting for them to make a good game. Wish it was more than just a 5e variant, but I get it. 5e is easy and under Creative Commons.

Daggerheart - it was between this and Draw Steel. I casually follow both MCDM and Critical Role, but I haven’t been impressed by either game yet. I want them both to be a little more creative. Chose Daggerheart because they self-published

Land of Eem!

Lots of good stuff coming up next year! My vote is on Dolmenwood, Outgunned Adventure and Coriolis: The Great Dark. But I'm also looking forward to Stonetop, the Planet of the Apes RPG and Alien Evolved Edition.
