[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6403200, member: 1"] I just came here to post this! Q3 is July-September 2014. I don't think the Player% column is of much use. It just looks at what active players have indicated in their profile they like playing, and presumably most of those are set when they create their account and rarely get changed. I could be wrong, but I know I don't even edit my Facebook profile much, let alone more niche ones. I probably last edited that a couple of years ago, save for the profile picture. The Game% column is much more interesting. So this is 25K games, where the GM stated what game was being played. That's a large sample. I'm not surprised that Pathfinder games are strong, but the 3.5 entry surprises me a little. It'll be interesting to see if 5E rises up the chart over the next couple of quarters. One stat that would really help is how long each game has been going on. Are we looking at long-term games which started two years ago and aren't likely to change any time soon? Are we looking at newly started games (which is the stat I would personally find more interesting)? It'd also be interesting to compare that list to EN World's own list of [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/hotgames.php]games being talked about across the web[/url].
