Good thing you included that shout-out to King Arthur Pendragon (KAP)! I have been waiting for that new edition for ages, and it appears to be very thorough and complete, with a system I know still firmly in place.
BREAK!! is fantastic!! I had the privilege of playing many campaigns of it and honestly, it's my favorite TTRPG of all time!! I can't wait to get the full book
“…which creator Greg Stafford is describing as the ultimate edition of the game.” The present tense of this sentence threw me off. Greg Stafford passed away a few years ago, may he rest in peace. 😔
Totally agree. I'm sticking with the previous iteration Pendragon 5.2 anyway as I'm convinced Chaosium will have shoehorned in a lot of modern day sensibilites and identity politics into the upcoming version.
Surprised you didn’t mention “Dragonbane” by Free League Publishing successfully Kickstarted last year it will be their high fantasy effort and has an excellent solo mode co-written by Shawn “Ironsworn” Tomkin
Another one that is officially coming to kickstarter and backerkit backers is DIE RPG, which you guys covered some months ago! Very excited to get my physcial book in hand and test it out with some friends!
Yazeba's B&B looks like an excellent game for people who aren't me. It's the incorporation of elements of Legacy board games, with its sticker system to unlock new scenarios, that intrigues me most, honestly. But playing established characters is _really_ intimidating to me because of the possibility I'll get it 'wrong' which intellectually I know is ridiculous but also... Anxiety doesn't listen to that part of my brain. I recognize there's an audience for that sort of thing - fandom roleplay spaces is a straight up 50/50 divide between people who enjoy playing canon characters vs OC characters (tends to be a bad idea to intermingle, mind), but... (...I'm starting to get over it via GMless PBP games where the NPCs are kind of a free for all, but...)
If you like the legacy board game sticker element, you should check out Forbidden lands. it uses that element in it's setting and is a traditional rpg vis a vis character creation/gameplay.
It's not on the Twitter list so I'll throw out a shout for Free League's Dragonbane, the latest edition of Sweden's answer to D&D. Kickstarted last year and out later this year.
I’ve got the play test materials for One Breath Left and I’m waiting on OGoA. I’d also include Mothership, Dead Air: Seasons, Bloodpunk, Steinhardts Guide to the Eldritch Hunt, and Silverplate.
I used to live in that area, and I have to say, you said Appalachia absolutely correctly. "lach" is "latch" not "laysh" And that Small Creatures game finally brings us what we've all been wanting: Furry Firefly! (Critter Bebop?)
Thank you for recommending Pendragon. I wouldn't have discovered it without your mention of it. I intend to adapt it to a Fire Emblem themed campaign. Somehow, the world of King Arthur feels right as a reference for helping capture the beautiful tragedies of FE.
@@dicebreaker I have an idea for adding a mechanic called The Weight of the Crown for characters who are royals. At times it makes your blows heavier, hit harder because you are fighting to protect your subjects. But at other times it is a burden that threatens to crush your spirit and/or your sanity.
Awesome list! When will I have time to play them all? Not on the list is Emberdawn Studios - Demon Ascendants so here is a shout out. Set in a fantasy world where players have a demonic bloodline giving them various powers from the demonic realms. Art looks really cool.
I own too many rpgs I haven't played yet, so I told me self i'd only watch this video for the fun of seeing new ideas... Damn you Dicebreaker, why must you torment my wallet so greatly?
you are going to play double the amount of different RPGs in one year than I did my 25 years. Shocking but no drama. What realy drives me nuts... asking myself where I startet to fail my life, is by realising the many years I didnt play a single fucking oneshot now. Not even this depressive solobooks. Time for a change
Very excited for a Monty python game. Now it doesn’t have to be on “accident” that we turn our campaigns into a flying circus episode
😂
I doubt that Gregg Stafford is saying Pendragon 6 is the best considering he died in 2018

Very excited for Koriko!!! Supported the Kickstarter and I can't wait to get it
Koriko looks so good. I wish I had seen the Kickstarter.

Discovered Thousand Year Old Vampire last week and was already scouting for more solo TTRPG. Thanks for the recommendations!
I wouldn't mind one.

A friend of mine made a very similar game to One Breath Left many years ago. It was great. Very tense. Looking forward to seeing their version of it.
It's not on the Twitter list so I'll throw out a shout for Free League's Dragonbane, the latest edition of Sweden's answer to D&D. Kickstarted last year and out later this year.
OOOooo with art by Johan Egerkrans. It sounds good, thanks for the reccomendation! - Maddie
I’ve got the play test materials for One Breath Left and I’m waiting on OGoA. I’d also include Mothership, Dead Air: Seasons, Bloodpunk, Steinhardts Guide to the Eldritch Hunt, and Silverplate.
DIE should arrive soon, so that is the game I'm most exicted about checking out!
That Brindlewood Bay AP was great fun. Hopefully you’ll return to the Murder Mavens or another one of those mysteries soon.
You should add Astro Inferno, Tokyo: Otherscape, Queerz and Psychic Trash Detectives to the List

May be less official as of now, but The Dungeon Coach is putting together a game called DC20 RPG (codenamed at least) and it's seriously looking good!

Oooo a Fire Emblem campaign could be really fun in Pendragon, I love that! - Maddie

Backing Walking Dead already, Public Access sounds VERY interesting.
Thanks for the heads-up of a great asortment of interesting RPGs to come this year. Quite a few of them have piqued my interest! :D
Blood & Doom is on Kickstarter now and will come out in 2023. It's a Conan-esque game with Cthulhu mythos elements and looks really interesting.
I''m super hyped for the Monty Python one, Pendragon 6e, and Break!
I would like to request a Coffee and Chaos episode of Storybreakers, please.
Love these videos, Maddie!
omg seeing Hunter trying to make anything that isn't black coffee would be too good haha and glad you enjoyed! - Maddie
At this rate I have NEED! to play a different RPG every week to manage before 2024. And they are not even released yet. A worthy challenge.
I'm glad BREAK!! made the list! Can't wait for this one! 🥰
Thank you for all these recommendations!
Break!! Looks great, already locked in on the Kickstarter.
No love for Shadowdark?
There’s just so many good ones! But Shadowdark is likely the only one I’m actually buying…I’m so looking forward to those random tables.
Ok, One Breath Left sounds really cool!
Great video! Already bookmarked an upcoming Kickstarter and ordered Hieronymous. Thanks for the discount code!
Little Game Masters is coming out later this year as well! A TTRPG Built for Kids age 5 and up!
So many good games I can't help but want to play them all!!
Awesome list! When will I have time to play them all? Not on the list is Emberdawn Studios - Demon Ascendants so here is a shout out. Set in a fantasy world where players have a demonic bloodline giving them various powers from the demonic realms. Art looks really cool.
Imperium Maledictum sounds suspiciously like Dark Heresy with a new mechanic and a fresh coat of paint. That's not a bad thing per se.
I'm personally looking forward to Blood and Doom (Conan meets Call of Cthulhu) and Dragonbane
I'm excited for The Fifth Season RPG
Thanks for such a wonderful list!
"...relic is an RPG about suffering the consequences of the actions of the generations before you..."
Wow, yeah, I wonder what that would be like 😂
Not sure I care much about Hieronymus but 'Bosch, the RPG' appeals.
BTW, does Mercer only have one facial expression / pose?
Did I hear Heironymous? - There go the savings .... (Oh, it's actually quite inexpensive).
Tiny Wizard Frogs RPG is coming out this year!
Really digging your earrings!
Thank you! ⚔️ - Maddie
Break!! looks incredible! I cannot wait to check it out. \[T]/
Break has been a long time in the making and I’m so excited to help bring it to life on KS
Thanks for the review. I am happy that 2023 will be a year for me to buy less and start playing my backlog of acquired RPGs.😁
I own too many rpgs I haven't played yet, so I told me self i'd only watch this video for the fun of seeing new ideas...
Damn you Dicebreaker, why must you torment my wallet so greatly?
😈😈😈
God damn, this video hurt my wallet. D:
👏👏👏

Great another 20 games I won't have the time or money to indulge in.
Except there aren't 20 RPGs worth playing in the world, never mind 2023. Shame.
