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'm looking forward to Arium from Adept Icarus. Been following them on Twitter, and it sounds like a fascinating toolkit.

Sword of the Serpentine by Pelgrane Press

I too am looking forward to this game, but are there any indications that it will be published in 2020?

 

[Starbrat]

I'm not sure this one will quite qualify*, but Chivalry and Sorcery 5th Edition, by Britannia Games Design.

*The print book won't be available until February, but the pdf came out just before Christmas.

Dune 2d20 because obviously the year 2020 deserves a proper role playing game in the universe created by Frank Herbert (and the aborted Last Unicorn version does not count).

 

[Johnnii]

Fallout 2d20. Have been waiting so long for an official Fallout tabletop RPG. All the fan versions are admirable and well done, but it's not the same as having the "real thing".

 

[TheOldBadger]

Toss up Between Dune 2D20 and Fallout 2D20 for me

Besides the already-nominated Wolves of God and Swords of the Serpentine, I played a great playtest of Dramaghul: City on the Edge of Nowhere, a Wordplay 2 game from Wordplay Games. I have no idea if it's scheduled for a 2020 release, but I'm looking forward to it whenever it emerges!

 

[Morrus]

Just a couple of days left. Remember that a valid nomination needs the product name and publisher. There’s a lot of people who haven’t done that.

Champions Now (Hero Games), as a redesign of the old Champions RPG, penned by Ron Edwards of Sorcerer and The Forge fame.
