Most common RPGs of today?

[neceros]

I've been out of the tabletop loop for a decade.

I've dabbled in 5e, savage worlds, dungeon worlds (apoc system), and now I want to try pathfinder 2e.


But what is popular?

 

[Deset Gled]

Most popular RPG: D&D 5e

Second most popular RPG: Old versions of D&D

Popular RPGs that aren't D&D:
Pathfinder 2e
Daggerheart
Shadowdark
Mork Borg (and variants, e.g. Pirate Borg)
Draw Steel
Call of Cthulhu (especially in Japan)

There's lots more, obviously. I'm sure you'll get dozens more names. But that's my short list. I think it covers a lot of what's "popular".

If you're looking for anything in particular, it will help to give more guidance than just "popular". There's so much niche content out there. Old School Renaissance stuff, story based stuff, mini based stuff, VTT based stuff. What do you like?

Thanks for response.

Honestly I have no niche in mind. I am looking for systems to potentially make character sheets for. Many are so simple it's not really needed, but I still find it fun.

Sounds like a fun way to branch out in the hobby.

In that case, I recommend looking at Draw Steel first. It's on the crunchier side, so you'll have more bits to fiddle with on a character sheet. It has a number of counters and class abilities that will probably keep you busy for a little while.

I find it amazing the PDF is $60 thank you none the less
