I just got my Physical Copies of Shadowdark today. It is definitely one of my most Anticipated of 2023 alongside Dragonbane & of course Pirate Borg will always have my heart :) I am STILL annoyed that I missed Salvage Union! I actually very much do not like the Cypher System.. but I have been a longtime listener of Old Gods of Appalachia. I only went PDF because I know it is strictly an "Idea Mine" for me.. but those Physical Copies at PAXU were absolutely gorgeous.

Solid list

For me it was the following three (didn't buy five rpgs this year): 3. Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Maledictum 2. Pirate Borg 1. Drakar och Demoner (aka Dragonbane)

Great choices.

Luke was amazing to talk chat with, thanks!

I’m glad you guys got to connect. Luke is great and Pirate Borg is one of the best Borg system games on the market.

100% on the digest sized books. Borg stuff changed at how I look at rpg books forever. I cherish my old FASA stuff, but large books with walls and walls of text are so intimidating.

LET'S GO!!!! I was going to be surprised if you listed Dragonbane some where other than #1.

Looking forward to both the triangle agency and the hidden isle coming out this year. Good list.

I think my favorite games this year was pirate borg, ezd6, dragonbane, psychic kidz, cypher system.. not all new but new to me.

I've looked at The Wildsea SOOOO many times. I think that's another that will make my collection in 2024 eventually.

@@VictoryConditionGaming Doug, I highly recommend it despite being only 60% through the core book just on setting alone

i also picked up Old Gods of Appalachia and even got to run it on stream (in German though) and we had a whale of a time. The system felt like an enabler rather than a hurdle, so I am looking forward to the next Cypher game in the form of The Magnus Archives.

@@VictoryConditionGaming I believe you are correct!

My top 1 is Dragonbane, we are pretty far into the campaign in the box now after a few months of playing and is the only one who came out in 2023 I've played enough to rate. :D I will give Marvel Multiverse a honorable mention, or maybe even the #2 slot but I have not played it enough yet to say much more than that I do like it. :) My top 1 "Ugh, not again!" is any game that tosses an ö into the name somewhere after Mörk Borg. Never since the metal bands of the 70's and 80's has it been so confusing to try and understand what the heck the name is. ;)

I picked up a copy of Marvel Multiverse but haven’t got it to the table just yet.

The only new-to-me game I played in 2023 was Gentlemen VS Demons, which is sort of like an ultra-slimmed down Call of Cthulhu. It was good. I'm thinking about using it to run Horror on the Orient Express, because it's a less deadly system & moves quicker. Three new ones I acquired, but haven't played yet, though they all look good: Pendragon (the starter kit) The Nullam Project Fight to Survive Maybe I'll do better in 2024. Though so far, the complete basic game for Pendragon is the only thing I know of that I'm really looking forward to.

New for ME in 2023 was ICRPG and that was fun enough for me to take to PAXU. And I am desperate to play Outgunned.

I think I said this during the premiere but with all the fantasy RPGs on the market it’s hard to stand apart from the pack. Dragonbane definitely does standout.

Blade Runner, I know it came out in December 2022, but it's the game I've played the most and had the most fun in 2023.

My favorite games for 2023 are definitely Free League heavy, but that's mostly because that's who I bought from. I'll stick with new games, not new to me, so I won't be up to 5. 3 - Household 2 - Dragonbane 1 - One Ring I'm pretty sure One Ring came out in 2022 but I didn't really get the stuff until 2023 so I count it. If we're talking about a top 5 new to me, there are a few more to get put on there. Dungeon Crawl Classics and Pulp Cthulhu
