Hey, me too. But I voted 3rd edition D&D because the FATE obsession is very recent.

My obsession is also relatively recent, but I never play a game anymore that I don't think "I wonder how easy it would be to add aspects to this game? I wonder if I could get the other guys to buy into it?" When that is your reaction to a game, I think you gotta go with the game that has aspects from the beginning.

A Winner of the Poll....but it won['t let me give you XP sorry, it says I have already given you some and I need to spread the love :)

That's alright. Spread the love around man.:blush:

I only answered because I like aircraft (I guess I'd have to after 21 years of aircraft maintenance). I was stationed in the UK for 6 years, and also saw my fair share of Tornado's during Operation Provide Comfort in Turkey (Incirlik). So, there's not much chance I wouldn't recognize one. I'd get a wake-up every morning when the Tornado's and F-111's took off.
 




After about a day of this, a point:

I put this poll up on both ENWorld and RPGnet, because I wanted to compare the results.


ENWorld

4E D&D/GSL 94 44.13%
3E D&D/OGL/d20(minus retro clones) 82 38.50%
OD&D/1E/2E/BEMCI/Retro Clones 24 11.27%
non-D&D/non-d20 13 6.10%

RPGnet

4E D&D/GSL 66 51.16%
3E D&D/OGL/d20(minus retro clones) 10 7.75%
OD&D/1E/2E/BEMCI/Retro Clones 28 21.71%
non-D&D/non-d20 25 19.38%



4E comes out ahead in both polls, with RPGnet having a greater percentage but not by too much. Old School and non-D&D got a lot more votes over at RPGnet. The biggest difference between the two forums is the difference between 3E/OGL, where ENWorld got 38.50% while RPGnet it got only 7.75%.
 



Depends on the purpose of the poll. If I was measuring sentiment of various game systems, a public poll would be more reliable. If on the other hand I was just comparing sentiment between ENWorld and RPGnet, this poll works just fine.
I think it would be more reliable in both cases.
Out of curiosity, do they have public polls (or logged-in only) over there?
