Interesting thread currently ongoing on RPGnet, something of a follow on from last years 'Top Indie RPGs Thread'.

You can find the thread here and you'll also find links within the thread to the RPGnet Wiki page for this year and last year. What's interesting so far is the difference in results. Obviously a lot of great new games have come out in the space of a year, but the rise of some new games to the very top of the tree is interesting.

Is there a movement in the small-press games market for the 'next big thing'? Are we constantly looking for 'innovation' and something new in the games world?
