[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7657566, member: 1"] The Orr Group, the folks who make the popular ENnie-winning Roll20 virtual tabletop application, has released a new set of figures relating to which games are being played on their service. Last time, Pathfinder had a massive lead; in Quarter 4 2014 D&D 5E has increased its share from 16% to 24% of players, but [I]Pathfinder [/I]has managed to hang on to that lead, remaining at about 43% of players. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] Of course, you can spin stats to prove any conclusion you wish (for example, you could say that D&D games of all editions have 45% of the total, giving that [I]brand [/I]a clear lead, if not specifically 5E), so we should be cautious about proclaiming anything definitive. Fantasy Grounds also released stats last quarter ([URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?1983-So-Who-s-Playing-What#.VL7aeC686YQ"]you can see both Roll20 and FG's stats for last quarter here[/URL]), so it will be interesting to see what they have to say. Plus [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?1984-Top-5-RPGs-Compiled-Charts-2008-Present"]a new ICv2 report is due soonish[/URL]. Conversely, [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/hotgames.php"]EN World's hot games chart[/URL], which tracks traffic on over a thousand sites and forums, gives D&D 5E 48% of web discussion. So it's clearly a hot topic! [CENTER] [ATTACH=FULL]109068[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
