Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.
The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming... realistically in early 2021.
HOW TO VOTE
Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.
You have 6 total votes to distribute.
You can only select up to 3 options.
You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.
EXAMPLES
You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).
This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!
Pool of Radiance gets full marks as a brilliant and influential Gold Box D&D RPG from back in the days when RPGs involved lots of random numbers, party building, dungeon-crawling AND tactical combat. Wonderful game.
Giving my second vote to Final Fantasy VII Remake. Despite its many problems, it has some good story beats (though they are stretched out between mountains of padding). It's nice to play through a game in the FFVII universe that isn't as relentlessly edgy and spiky and pretentious. We'll see if that holds up...
Final vote to Bugsnax for being an oddly unnerving little world about catching cute creatures and then... eating them to death.
