We’ve been looking at the best sellers in DriveThruRPG’s genre catalogues of tabletop RPGs and reached the catch-all of miscellaneous RPGs yesterday.
That doesn’t mean we’ve finished. Another cut of the data is to look at which RPGs from new publishers have had a good year. The definition of “new” should be explained; it’s publishers who hadn’t published on DriveThruRPG before. Some publishers might have experience publishing elsewhere or under different names.

Congratulations to Coyote & Crow for topping the list. The game kickstarted and then was delivered by Conner Alexander William McKay, Weyodi Oldbear and team. The RPG of science fantasy in an uncolonised future is gold bestseller on DriveThruRPG.
More than 700 years ago, a massive disaster changed the course of history. The world was plunged into centuries of darkness, but the event also introduced the Adanadi — the Gift — a strange mark that appeared on all life. This mark would have an enduring impact on humanity. Centuries later, the Earth is healing. New, advanced nations have risen. Ancient legends stir.
Coyote & Crow is a tabletop roleplaying game set in an alternate future where colonization of the Americas never happened. In this world that is both familiar and entirely new, you’ll take on the role of heroic characters adventuring in a changing landscape.
What a great name! The Gorilla of Destiny and author Thomas Wallace has found success with a $10 The Theory of Magic. The 5e supplement lets you create magic, explore the system used by D&D and even tackle the maths.
Impressively, Dungeon University Presents has a three-four in the league table and both products they’ve released make the list. Eldritch Hack is a rules-light Lovecraftian horror, and Deathbringer is a grimdark fantasy.
