Indie Releases This Year

Rampant Coyote has a feature up discussing the Indie RPG releases of the year, determining candidates for best Indie RPG of the year. Amongst which are Geneforge 5, Depths of Peril, Eschalon: Book 1, Nethergate: Resurrection, Avernum V. As Rampant Coyote puts it:

And that has been quite a challenge this year. It’s not like indie games deliberately hide themselves from detection, so much as getting lost in all the noise.

2007 has been – in my mind, at least – a great year for indie RPGs. We had a slew of outstanding releases, as compared to previous years where we had little besides the perennial Jeff Vogel release and a couple of abandoned-half-finished RPG Maker projects to talk about.
