I have been an RPG player since 1979 and have attended zero Gen Cons, so this list does not and cannot represent me in any way.And I don't think Blades in the Dark has been the online darling for a number of years. In contrast, Shadowdark has 64 events scheduled. Mork Borg has 40. Other Borgs are also represented, including 18 for Cy_Borg and Pirate Borg with 94. Mothership, which is definitely a darling of the moment, has a surprisingly low 14 games, presumably losing some of their oxygen to the new edition of Alien coming soon, which has 38 games scheduled.A lot of this, I think, also reflects which companies are good at organizing their fan community and prioritizing having events at cons. Root the RPG, from Renegade (I think) has 113 events, which is a staggering number for an RPG about woodland animals based on a board game.I do think it's noteworthy that most of the old TSR-era games seem to mostly be in the single digits. The Gen X and older folks at ENWorld who still love those and often think of those as the majority of non-D&D games are very much in the minority, at least among Gen Con event organizers.</blockquote>
