[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7675132, member: 1"] Last time I wrote about the relative popularity of games played on the largest virtual tabletop platforms, D&D 5E had finally surged into the lead, passing Pathfinder. That was the Orr Group's (them who makes Roll20) [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?2517-D-D-Surges-Into-Lead-In-Orr-Group-Figures#.VZqnpfkmKUk"]quarterly report for Q1 2014[/URL]. As you may know, Fantasy Grounds also releases such figures, and its latest stats have just come my way - and it tells the same story. These charts are for 2015 so far, and show an enormous surge which took place in March/April of this year. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][CENTER][/CENTER] Now, there's an obvious caveat. [URL="http://www.fantasygrounds.com/"]Fantasy Grounds[/URL] became the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?2515-FANTASY-GROUNDS-Virtual-Tabletop-s-D-D-License!#.VZqpBvkmKUk"]official licensed D&D 5E virtual tabletop[/URL] round about then, so that surge is to be expected. Thanks to Fantasy Grounds for supplying these figures! Interestingly in these latest figures, you get four "flavours" of D&D (5E, Pathfinder, 3.5, and 4E in that order) before you see the next highest system, which is [I]Savage Worlds[/I]. Measuring the relative popularity of games is an imprecise thing. I try to keep up with various ways to do so. The two VTT reports are great tools, and I report on them every quarter or so. Also relevant is the ICv2 survey figures which come out every quarter or so, and which I [URL="https://www.fantasygrounds.com/home/"]maintain a chart of here[/URL]. Finally, I also track mentions of various games on thousands of forums and blogs [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/hotgames.php"]in this chart[/URL] (ignore the arrows on that chart; they're wonky - but it's also intersting to see Green Ronin's [I]AGE[/I] system climb up that chart to #13 since Wil Wheaton's [I]Titansgrave l[/I]aunched).
