This page describes the results of HICU-RPG's vote on the next mainline campaign the group will play. HICU-RPG chooses campaign to play based on player voting, and since 2021 the candidate campaigns/GMs are determined by an open proposal process. Episodic campaigns are selected separately. In 2025, five campaigns were proposed by three GMs or GM teams:

The voting system used was cloneproof Schwartz sequential dropping, i.e. Schulze Voting, which satisfies the Condorcet criterion; in the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by comparing the Borda Count of the candidates.
Enthusiasm Data
This data is about how voters marked their enthusiasm about the proposed campaigns. It is non-binding with respect to campaign choice, but is here for feedback for GM-candidates. (It is the prerogative of a GM candidate to choose to withdraw a candidate campaign from consideration after voting closes, in which case the next runner up would be selected. For example, if a campaign that one or more people says they "would not play" is selected, it would be up to the GM-elect to decide whether or not to withdraw their offering on that basis.)

Plurality Vote
This "first past the post" system is the one most often used in the US and UK; for more than two candidates it often gives wildly unrepresentative results due to vote splitting.
