What I meant about it being dangerous was people might see the numbers for their favorite games and then and superfluously mention their favorite a million times, like:" Star Wars D6 is the greatest game since Star Wars D6, it uses D6s, this Star Wars D6 game, and it takes place in the Star Wars universe, all in all, much fun is to be had with the Star Wars D6 game, run out and buy some used Star Wars D6 books now."Obviously, this facetious example is over the top, but we are gamers, someone is going to try and game the system, but again, I feel a publisher or marketer is more likely to do that than a regular gamer.As to other sources, I see RPGGeek is one you use, the top of their "The Hotness" list on the left hand side of the page lists Torchbearer in the top slot, but it doesn't even make any of your lists (though I suppose maybe RPGGeek is the only place it's being discussed maybe?). Have you considered using show notes from popular podcasts as a source of data?This is very cool stuff, I'm deeply interested in this and the WotC survey and whatever future similar survey you do, so much so that while I've had this account for like 10+ years here this is more or less the first post I've made in like 8 or 9 years.</blockquote>
