No mention of the Dungeon Coach's DC20. Sad.

[@brandonlaneva]

Seconded!

[@tomryan3768]

Is that going to be for sale by end of year 2024?

[@323starlight]

@tomryan3768 the kickstarter for its PHB is gonna drop in 2024

[@GrandOldDwarf]

Summer of 2024

[@sspectre8217]

That’s the one I’m the most excited for tbh

[@GrandOldDwarf]

DC20 is going to shake up a lot of the industry

[@ktube2143]

DC20 !? You're all missing out.

[@galaxyfoxnightsky2042]

Your missing the dimond in the rough DC20 from the dungeon coach its absolutely amazing soo far the alpha is out

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

Wow 2024-2025 might start a WILD golden age for ttrpgs if more players are diversifying what they’re trying out and more of these projects are fine tuned to tastes and design sensibilities

[@EunoiaRPG]

I am as excited as my wallet is terrified

[@nutherefurlong]

Knave 2e, not sure when that's going to be out but soon. And Mystic Bastionland looks awesome. Good coverage, thanks

[@shanegallant9018]

OMG!! I never thought I would hear Palladium Books mentioned in my current circle of RPG news! I've played Palladium Fantasy since I was in high school back in the 1990's, but it seemed to disappear off of 'popular' news feeds. I've gotten used to going directly to their website for any news on their products and projects. But yeah, they *are* often late getting stuff out. Oh, and they still owe me a coffee mug from my last order!!! 😠

[@duzzo1]

Shadow of the Weird Wizard!

[@BIGBENMACDOUCE]

Happy to see that some of you share my opinion, DC20TTRPG from The dungeon coach is going to be a blast. The next big thing IMO! Put that on you’re list for sure you won’t regret it!

[@digitalspecter]

Classes and levels.. nah, I'll pass.

[@carlpalmer9406]

Wonderful list, but I am looking forward to the release of "Dungeon Dwellers." Its is being produced by Reaper Miniatures and is an old school style TTRPG. It is more of a OSR with some new updates and its supported with tons of miniatures from one of the best miniature companies in the world.

[@yogapantsyogurtpants3365]

I'm excited for hidden isle. I already use tarot in all my games. Cool to see how they use them

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

2024 making up for the last 3 years. D&D 6th edition won't be the 800 lb gorilla by the end of 2024.

[@AtomicBrows]

I appreciate you guys keeping me us up to date on all this. The Ron Swanson clips kill me every time lol

[@marikumay2279]

Im interested in final fantasy 14. Wonder how it will function

[@echedp8903]

DIABLO!!!! You wont be able to stop me from playing that.

[@matthewconstantine5015]

Nothing on this list is for me. I'm excited for the full version of Pendragon, though.

[@sylviadailey9126]

Ooh! I am so excited. The licenseing scandal for DND has opened the way for other TTRPGs. This even makes me excited to make my own game and release it. I noticed that a lot of the games in this video are adaptations of something else. One is Diablo. That got me thinking. What if there was a World of Warcraft TTRPG? That would be so awesome! World of Warcraft comes from the same company as Diablo. That is Blizzard. I can imagine how this would work. There can be the same classes as the regular video game version. There is the same spells and same martial abilities. It would use mana instead of spell slots. It also has rage, energy and focus for martial classes. The attributes would be the same. They may even be expanded to be used outside combat. The biggest draw would have the adventures take place in the world of Azeroth. It can even incorporate Azeroth lore. Designers can use as DND 4E as inspiration. That is the edition that DND tried to make like World of Warcraft. I could probably hombrew this if I really wanted to. I even have major rulebooks for DND 4E. However if an official World of Warcraft TTRPG came out, I would oh so thrilled.

[@dynosophical]

Others have said it already, but you really slept on DC20 here. So far I think that's the only one I've heard of that could seriously challenge 5e for my group

[@KajtekBeary]

I'm madly happy for Stormlight Archive RPG! And also gloomheaven kinda

[@pawibus]

Shadowdark!

[@philippemarcil2004]

Excellent overview, 2024 is going to be a good crop. I wouldn't call MCDM the best publisher of 3rd party 5e rules supplement. I think some of their products sometime feel half-baked with a few rules section that are call for the DM to figure it out at his table. I however remain optimistic for their new system as they seem to be testing it out a lot more with a bigger creative team. I am very interested in the Diablo RPG but I think it can go either way. It have the potential to be very different then D&D with a focus on epic level PC that can slay hundreds of demons with an interesting and intricate item system. But, this could also be a big fail if they don't deliver on that Diablo over-powered combo feeling at the game table. After reading preliminary review of Candela Obscura, I have a bad feeling about Daggerheart. If it is tailored too much toward streaming and professional player it wouldn't be that fun to play with my friends relaxing on the week-end. What is interesting in 2024 is to see what new version of D&D 5e will be the best - Wotc D&D 5.1, Kobold Press Tales of the Valiant or Cubicle C7D20. Is there going to be another 5e clone that going to blow the market up and be strictly better than 5.1e? I think it will be hard to beat WotC on production quality but I wouldn't be surprise to see a third party publisher coming up with a better version of 5e rules within the next 2 years.

[@jeffreyquigley]

Hard to beat WotC on production quality? What?

[@philippemarcil2004]

Hello@@jeffreyquigley , I agree the quality of WotC is not exceptional but considering the size of their print run, it is good. But I have to say that even indie stuff have started to have a much better quality.

[@jeffreyquigley]

@@philippemarcil2004 my 5e PHB that literally fell apart is definitely not good quality. My patience with 5e as a system, and with WotC, reached its end last year. I sold all of my 5e books, including a couple by MCDM which were extremely disappointing. There are too many other great systems out there that deserve way more attention.

[@philipboardman1357]

It's a shame that they left out Dragon Slayer, the TTRPG from the author of Barrowmaze. And it's honestly shocking that they left out DC20, But maybe they didn't realize how big it was going to be.

[@Itachi45481]

neat wizards must love what they have to look for next year

[@johnharrison2086]

Starfinder 2e, Diablo, Stormlight and Final Fantasy are the most interesting to me. The mechanics will decide which I purchase of the last three (we already know that Starfinder 2e will be)

[@rafaeltaracena112]

No dolmenwood ??

[@odinulveson9101]

I roar out for Free Leagues repertoaire of top notch ttrpgs that treat homebrewing with ease, Solo/ Co-op and standard group play with GMs, solidly. Btw: Dragonbane gets hardback Bestiary/ Rulebook early 24. So, sure I play dnd and pf but Imo dont hold a candle. I just dont get easly immersed. Might be because I feel more at " home " with F.L nordic settings with say Dragonbane and Vaesen and that Im Scandinavian. Still.

[@philipboardman1357]

I think Square messed up by trying to make this Final Fantasy TTRPG about FF14. Those players already have a game that they log on to, and play with their friends. They are going to stick with that game until they're bored of it. And when they are bored of it, they aren't going to pick up a tabletop version of the exact same game, especially because they probably won't be able to play with those same friends, who might be all around the world. Sure, there are VTT, but it's all too much of a barrier to a successful product launch. I'm not saying it won't experience SOME success. It's just that a final Fantasy tabletop game would have been so much more successful if it packaged itself as a brand new final Fantasy game, with brand new lore. Perhaps with more of an old school feel, such as FF6 and the games that came before it. Or perhaps with a theme that might be expected for a FF17. Either way, I'm going to take a look at it. I hope they look to their past experience with FF5, FFT, and FF14 When it comes to the role of jobs in the game. The jobs system seems perfect for giving TTRPG players great character customization.

[@TheOGGMsAdventures]

A ton of games coming out, but which ones will actually make a dent, and which ones will just sit on the shelf gathering dust. Like F&&& yeah im going to buy Diablo because I love Diablo but do i think ill ever play it?

[@grimmdm1]

I am looking forward to Tales of The Valiant …and I backed the Kickstarter so I already took that hit my wallet..

[@silver4231]

😢 I don't have enough money for all

[@DavidHadar2]

So many fantasy games.

[@kithutchinson2461]

Genesis? Does that mean Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, and Peter Gabriel are involved? LOL.

[@yuvalgabay1023]

I will be real whit yoy. The more i read about thr strom light rpg the less excited im

[@duzzo1]

Crucible

[@JasonVDM]

TMNT and other Strangeness is still one of the best RPGs ever made. Its not a turtle game. Its a dystopia mutant game. You know how when you play 5e and the teifling feels like a human. In fact they all feel like humans with a couple of ability changes? Each of TMNTs mutants felt like entirety different creatures. You knew when you where playing a cheetah or a giant Rhino! Thats why its point by mutation system is worth bringing back. Think cyberpunk meets a zoo and thats TMNT

[@guyfawkes8873]

Never gonna understand the apparent anger people have at ‘species’ being called what they should have been called all along o.O if a Neanderthal ain’t a human, an elf sure as hell isn’t… and the word we use to distinguish biologically different entities is… species? No one except dog breeders uses ‘race’… so I guess if you view a lizardman as being to a human what a Rottweiler is to a chihuahua, go ahead and use ‘race’… and be a doofus…

[@dryuriuspapers2020]

Daggerheart is going to suck massively. Spenser Starke, creator of Candela Obsura, is the main designer; not Mercer.

[@northernlight8857]

A big yawn for me. Rp is more than fantasy.

[@jeffreyquigley]

None of these look all that interesting. If I had to pick one it would be Starfinder i guess

[@Apeiron242]

Stop adding the TT. RPGs are played around a table. They are the original, the default.
