RPGFan Games of the Year 2024 ~ Editors’ Awards

RPGFan Games of the Year 2024 Editors' Awards

Welcome to RPGFan’s Games of the Year 2024! We realize this is coming a bit after the end of the year, but with many excellent releases in November and December, we wanted to give our staff the time to play and consider all games that came out last year.

Today we present the first part of our Game of the Year votes: Editors’ Awards. This is our staff’s opportunity to give their own takes on the games they played this year. Some created a Top 5 list, some focused on games from other genres they enjoyed, and others got creative with their awards. Our 17 editors this year had a lot to say, and it’s one of my favorite features of the year, so check out our awards below!

What are some of your picks? What did we get right? Where do you disagree? Be sure to let us know on XFacebookInstagramThreadsDiscord, Bluesky, or however you most enjoy interacting with us!

Also, be sure to check back soon for our “Overall” Awards where we come together as a staff and choose our favorite awards in different genres and categories, and of course our pick for the best game of the year! We’ll also be presenting your choices there.
