Greatest Number of Editions?

[JoeGKushner]

So what game system has the highest number of editions under it's name.

Call of Cthulhu is one of those I think of as well as Elric (I had the original boxed set, #4, the Elric game, and Stormbringer 5th ed. Haven't picked up the Mongoose version yet.)

Anyone know off the top of their heads?

Champions/HERO is in its 5th edition, 6th if you include FUZION.

I think Paranoia is in its 6th edition.

Traveller is probably in its 5th or so...but it also has editions in other systems like GURPS and D20, so its up to around 8 including the upcoming Mongoose release.

M:tG is in its 10th iteration.

Lost Worlds, while not technically having "editions" has about a dozen different runs from different owners, covering their own combat books to the iconic PCs from Knights of the Dinner Table.

Prime Directive has its original version (a D6 based system similar to Shadowrun and Star Wars from FASA) from Task Force Games/Amarillo Design Bureau, as well as a D20, GURPS and WEG D6 version.

Then again, there are dozens of versions of Monopoly, Risk and Stratego as well.

I don't know about for sure, but I bet if you counted every "incarnation" Traveller is up there.

Outright editions? CoC is the highest one I know of.

M:tG is in its 10th iteration.

It's not quite the same thing (there has been 1 major rules revision), but since replacing your current product is arguably more necessary in magic, it works well enough. Maybe even better.

Gamma World has 6 and there is 11 in that universe.

 

[Mauricio Pezzotta]

D&D. 11 editions and will get another one next year.

 

[LoneWolf23]

D&D. 11 editions and will get another one next year.

Huh? I thought that was the fourth?

Huh? I thought that was the fourth?

Only if you start with 1e AD&D - there were quite a few editions OD&D/BD&D before that.

If you count the Omega World material then Gamma World has had seven editions.

Though the 4th was the best...

Though the 4th was the best...

Agreed. 4th is still my favorite incarnation to date.
