There are a few things I'm looking forward to. Generally speaking, Apocalypse World and Burning Wheel are my benchmarks, which means Lumpley Games and BWHQ are the two publishers I watch most carefully. So I'm excited by Under Hollow Hills, which looks like it uses the AW moves and resolution, but has a more codified structure for the overall game. I'd not got into Torchbearer before and the second edition looks similar - like a tighter and more structured Burning Wheel.
Beyond those I'm intrigued by Wanderhome, which got decent backing on KS, and uses a system called No Dice, No Masters - which I'm not familiar with. The name kinda says what it isn't, so I'm interested to learn how it plays. I've seen the same system being used for other games (such as Orbital), so it's clearly having an influence in some circles.
