Fantasy Grounds Top RPGs (Last 12 Months)

Fantasy Grounds has sent along its latest figures for RPG rulesets used in the last 12 months. 5E dominates with 70%, of course (up by 1%); Pathfinder 2E has snuck onto the chart at 6th place (though it's only been available for a couple of months), and Starfinder has taken 4th place.

As always, "MoreCore" is FG's default generic module used when there isn't a specific game package available.

It doesn't hurt that there are a jillion twitterers, and youtubers chanting D&D D&D D&D!

I mean it gets annoying if one isn't a diehard D&D'er, but oh well.

Not that it's a bad idea, but I've found that logarithmic charts to most audiences tend to confuse rather than clarify.
I blame our educational system and/or society.

...for, oh, so many things...

Don't know what happened to Hero, but ... I mean, it's kind of cool seeing GURPS still chugging along? I still remember when it came out, and they had the rather ... entertaining ... guides for the Autoduel/Car Wars version of it.

Yep, I even played some of it - because in my regular group of Champions! gamers, back then, there was one devoted GURPS enthusiast.

Hero isn't gone, google could still find them, but they've apparently prettymuch left the physical publishing side, they just put out pdfs. Seems pretty quiet over there.

Roll20 reports that 0.04% of campaigns on their platform use the HERO system, as opposed to 0.34% for GURPS.

I think it's hilarious that 2nd edition has more players than 4th edition.

The German RPG Das Schwarze Auge I reckon.

The Dark Eye RPG in English?

The Dark Eye RPG in English?

Yes, precisely. It's the biggest TTRPG in Germany, so it tends to show up in big tent marketplaces like Fantasy Grounds.

Why? 4E is a dead RPG. PF2 just came out.
That so many are still playing a dead RPG compared to something that just came out speaks highly of the dead RPG.

Nahan, he means 2E AD&D is more played.

That does speak highly of AD&D.

But wait, that is 1e AD&D and 2e AD&D. Isn’t it?

I don’t really care about it being played more than 4e though.
