Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2022

As I do every year, I'm taking nominations for the MOST ANTICIPATED RPG poll for the coming year. Here is last year's Top 10 (spoiler: the joint winners were Dune and Twilight 2000). Previous winners include 13th Age (2013), Star Wars Force & Destiny (2015), Rifts for Savage Worlds (2016), Trudvang Chronicles (2017), Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (2018), Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (2019), Dune (2020 & 2021), and Twilight 2000 (2021). What will be the most anticipated RPG of 2022?

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 2022. All nominated games will appear on the final ballot. To nominate a game, simply make a reply in this thread. 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 2022. The important date is the date the general public can purchase the book. That's not Kickstarter fulfillment dates or pre-orders.
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. You can nominate up to two games. It's not a contest to see who can list the most games!
5. Nominations will remain open for two weeks, until December 23rd. Voting will take place shortly thereafter.
6. Not your own game or one you’re affiliated with.
7. Include a link. Don't make me Google to try guess what you mean! No linky, no nommy.

Last year's joint winners were Dune and Twilight 2000 (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!

Since Marvel probably won't be out of beta until 2023, I nominate the Transformers RPG. https://www.amazon.com/Renegade-Transformers-RPG-Core-Rulebook/dp/1736884336

The electronic version is a published version.

Right. But we're talking a about a book not a PDF. I continue to look forward to the book release of TOR 2E in 2022 to the general public.

2. It must be due out to the general public in 2022. The important date is the date the general public can purchase the book. That's not Kickstarter fulfillment dates or pre-orders

Books can be pdfs. The term "book" is not exclusive to hard copies.

The question is whether they mean by ‘book’ an ebook as well as a physical book. It isn’t stated either way, but for me, The One Ring is already here and available for the general public.

Dune from Modiphius...
Ah, sorry, force of habit

Yeah, I've said it before I don't actually care. I just think it is fun to talk to the pseudonyms of people online that insist that I can't look forward to TOR 2E in 2022. Do they think I'm going to go back and delete my posts or apologize or something? Why do they care what I think? What response are they looking for? Do they actually take this conversation seriously? They don't even know me and I'm talking to a pseudonym. My opinion actually seems to matter to people I've never met whose names I don't even know! It's funny to me. This is fun. Forums should be fun.

In all the years I’ve been doing this, this is the first time anybody has taken a stance that a PDF is not a book.

To clarify, PDFs count.

Hope that settles this lengthy conversation.

FWIW, I also hope to get my hands on my hard copy of TOR 2E. I have scanned through the pdf of the book, but I would prefer having a hard copy in my hands, which makes it easier to flip between sections and also a bit less computer screen strain on the eyes.

Okay, no TOR 2E on the list for me. Like I said, I'm cool with whatever.

Oh, hadn't seen this. Looks super interesting!
