Which edition poll for October

[avin]

The 3e numbers seem to be declining though

It's perfectly natural, will be the same when 5E launches...

Sticking with 3.X for the forseeable future. PF has some nice things and I took a few, but I don't see the need to convert. Playing a couple other d20 games (Modern, CoC) sporadically.

And they don't seem to be migrating to 4e . . .

I don't know if you missed that bit. Anyway, if it's true, then I'm not quite sure where they've gone. . .

Other forums. . .?

At 7 PM Eastern time, I recalculated the percentages using only votes that weren't cast anonymously (for kicks and giggles of course). 246 of 332 votes weren't cast anonymously:

7 (all good)
118 (4e) 47.97%
32 (3e/3.5e) 13.00%
30 (Pathfinder) 12.20%
18 (1e/2e/OSRIC) 7.32%
0 (Hackmaster)
3 (C&C)
13 (Combo 4e+3e or Pathfinder)
11 (Other fantasy RPG)
10 (non-fantasy RPG)
4 (No RPGs)
---
246

The percentages are relatively similar to the totals counting "anonymous" votes. So about half of us who responded play 4e exclusively.

Of the non-anonymous responders, the following percentages are EN World community supporters:

4e - 21%
3e/3.5e 12.5%
Pathfinder 27%
1e/2e OSRIC 17%

What does any of this non-scientific nonsensical rambling mean? Absolutely nothing, probably!

Although I do think everyone should step up more and support the site by becoming a Community Supporter...

Perhaps that 3/3.5 players are less "hard core" gamers/less frequent ENWorld users, whereas Pathfinder people are the most "hard core", assuming that correlates to being a community supporter?

But most likely, it means nothing much, due to small "n".

AD&D is awesome!

I don't know about Pathfinder itself, but the Pathfinder playing EN Worlders seem to be a bunch of awesome people.

In an effort to avoid Morrus mothballing the 4E forums , I strongly recommend 4E supporters to also become EN World Community Supporters.

I wish I could vote for multiple options, but having to pick between 3.x and PF, have to vote for PF. Locally, there seems to be a pretty decent upswing in PF interest, with some lagging 4e interest over the last while (I don't actually know anyone in the area playing 4e).

Me too; I voted for PF, although we're also playing some 3E. I think the poll should have a category for 3E/PF, not 3.5/3E.
