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.

Wares Blade for me... I've been wanting to get a look at that game ever since I saw an ad for it in an copy of Hobby Japan, decades ago. Japanese fantasy with mecha, just the idea of it has wormed around in my homebrew setting over the years.

Whoa! I think it would be easier voting just for one hahaha.
1. Legend in the Mist (I backed that one the first day!)
2. Starfinder 2e (I love starfinder and Pathfinder 2e system...)
3. Pico: Tiny Bugs, Big World (I like insects)

There is a lot of new games and I'm so excited for it.

 

[Fenris-77]

Yeah, I voted for Dolmenwood, Discworld, and The Between, but Broken Empires, Laundry 2E, Mythic Bastionland, Coriolis, Cairn, and Ashes Without Number are all really exciting too.

Picking only three is just cruel. I need at least top 5, possibly top ten.

What got my vote was Stonetop, Outgunned Adventures, and Draw Steel.

Stonetop looks like it has a lot of the refinement I've been wanting from a Dungeon World offshoot. Very story focused and ties your character to it's community.

On the other hand, Draw Steel is the big action tactical game that looks cool at cons and my friends tend to like to play that really doesn't require much introspection. I ran the backerkit adventure at PAX and it's good stuff.

And Outgunned Adventures because, one, it's not a fantasy RPG. It has action but descriptive movie action, not tactical and slightly less violence focused than Outgunned.

But like i said, there are bunch of others that are also up there.
Urban Shadows 2e, I'm not anticipating as much because I already got my kickstarter. Ask me a month ago and it would have been on there.

13th Age 2e looks great but really isn't that different from 13th Age to get my super excited about it, as much as I love 13th Age.

Cosmere looks pretty good, but I wish it would distance itself just a little more from 5e. I think it'd be better if it skipped the 5ft grid and I'm more excited about the Mistborn books, which are 2026 than the Stormlight Archives.

Monty Python's (not an) RPG sounds really fun and unlike other games that try hard to be funny and fall flat this one seems to have some promise.

And The Between is going to be really good, I tried it out as it was being developed. I'm just not a gothic horror fan. If you are, you will REALLY want to pick this one up.

And Daggerhearts, and Legends in the Mist and ... Overall looks like a ton of good stuff next year.

Also this is my first time hearing of WHPA, I'll have and check that one out. Also Advanced Advantage 5e. Aside from the horrible name, I'm interested in what they'll do with their own 5e twist.

What’s interesting is that you wrote Pelgrane Press wrong（Pegrane Press） at the beginning.

Mythcraft vote here. Like...I backed DC20 and I'm still more excited about the Mythcraft enhancement coming in 2025!! (and this is from someone who has only ever played D&D and PF2e because I hate learning new systems)

And yes, I've read a ton on ENworld forums but haven't logged in to reply in so long that I couldn't remember which email I even used originally, lol, so...new year, new account?

That's extremely UNinteresting.

Damn, that was hard to choose. I ended up with:

13th Age 2nd Edition (Pelgrane Press)

Draw Steel (MCDM)

Weird Heroes of Public Access- WHPA-TV13 (Get Haunted Industries)
