Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2020

As I do every year, I'm taking nominations for the MOST ANTICIPATED RPG poll for 2020. Here is last year's Top 10 (spoiler: the winner was Savage Worlds Adventure Edition). Previous winners include 13th Age (2013), Star Wars Force & Destiny (2015), Rifts for Savage Worlds (2016), Trudvang Chronicles (2017), and Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (2018). What will be the most anticipated RPG of 2020?

We do this at the end of every year, and have done for several years now! Here's how it works:

We start with a nomination stage. That's this thread. You may nominate any standalone tabletop RPG due to be released to the general public in 2020. All nominated games will appear on the final ballot. A few rules:

1. It must be a standalone tabletop RPG, NOT a supplement, setting, adventure, sourcebook, expansion, or accessory. If there is a QuickStart version, or a preview, it’s the full release that counts.
2. It must be due out to the general public in 2020.
3. It must be nominated by at least one person in this thread. Simply post the name of the game and the name of the publisher below to nominate it.
4. Nominations will remain open for two weeks, until January 4th. Voting will take place shortly thereafter.
5. Not your own game or one you’re affiliated with.

Last year's winner was Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (pictured above). You can see last year's top 10 here. Sometimes products make it into the list in more than one year; what can I say? Product schedules slip!

I think TOR2e would have won for 2020.

Is it related to the comics drawn by madd? Do you have a link? I couldn't find anything through search engines.

I’d note that Eclipse Phase is already out - to general public in PDF form, and some backers have already received their physical copies.

Beyond that, honestly, the only new games I am anticipating are:

• Dune (Modiphius)
• The full version of Cyberpunk Red (R. Talisorian)
• Jack Vance’s Lyonesse and M.R. James’ Casting The Runes (The Design Mechanism)
• Ben Aaranovitch’s Rivers of London (Chaosium)

As a reminder folks, a valid nomination needs product name and publisher. There's a lot of posts here which don't constitute valid nominations. A link would be super useful too, if you can.

Fading Suns, fourth edition by Holistic Design

 

[Crusadius]

I have a couple of nominations.

Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying by Free League Publishing (Fria Ligan).

Heart: The City Beneath RPG by Rowan, Rook & Decard.

I'm not sure about when Exalted Essence (Onyx Path) will actually be released, but if its 2020 then there will be a lot of people interested in a lighter version of Exalted 3E.
