The biggest RPGs

[Hussar]

Working from the LibraryThing series lists, there have been about three hundred supplements for GURPS. D&D 3.0 & 3.5 each had about 50, AD&D 1 had almost 100, and AD&D 2 had almost 350. This only counting official TSR/WotC stuff.

I think the D&D numbers are very, very low. Heck, there was 350 DRAGON magazines and another 150 (or so) Dungeon mags in print for D&D.

There's a poster around here who's actually done the numbers but, I can't for the life of me remember who it was.

I think you mean Echohawk who complied lists of all rulebooks and supplements for the various D&D settings starting back with Greyhawk.

Dat's der bunny.

[MENTION=9849]Echohawk[/MENTION] I wonder if he could shed more light on things. I did find this post which lists all the 3e publications and I stopped counting when I hit 100, and there were quite a few more.

*poof*

That's an impressive summoning spell there Hussar

I count somewhere around 1000 TSR/WotC D&D books/boxed sets (excluding all the magazines). The exact number depends on exactly what you're counting.

Good grief. One THOUSAND? Out of curiousity, is that specifically RPG books, or does that include fiction?

That's just RPG products. Adding the novels would roughly double that figure.
