[QUOTE="ichabod, post: 9228198, member: 1257"] I said I would give you the combined results, so here they are. I had to fudge some things here and there. Lots of people said "something PbtA", I just put in Apocalpse World. Some would give several examples of what they were voting on, and I generally just took the first one. Now, if we give the lowest ranked vote 1 point, the next lowest 2, and so on, we get the following rankings for the top 20: 1. Call of Cthulhu (132 points) 2. D&D [A1E] (127 points)* 3. Apocalypse World (118 points) 4. Pendragon (116 points) 5. Blades in the Dark (115 points) 6. D&D [5E] (112 points) 7. D&D [B/X] (77 points) 8. Traveller [1E] (73 points) 9. D&D [3E] (69 points) 10. Savage Worlds (65 points) 11. Star Wars (62 points) 12. Feng Shui (59 points) 13. Dungeon Crawl Classics (58 points) 14. Fate [Core] (54 points) 15. Cyberpunk (53 points) 16. D&D [0E] (51 points) 17. Toon (50 points) 18. Traveller [2300] (49 points) 19. Amber (46 points) 20. Vampire (45 points) * D&D [A1E] is first edition AD&D. I coded it this way to keep all of the D&D editions together. However, there was a bit of variety in the voting. One person voted for 26 RPGs, and another voted for 1. If we instead just use the top ten for each person, we get the following results: 1. D&D [A1E] (47 points) 2. Pendragon (36 points) 3. Call of Cthulhu (36 points) 4. D&D [5E] (32 points) 5. D&D [B/X] (29 points) 6. Apocalypse World (28 points) 7. Blades in the Dark (26 points) 8. D&D [3E] (21 points) 9. D&D [0E] (19 points) 10. Traveller [2300] (17 points) 11. Traveller [1E] (17 points) 12. Savage Worlds (17 points) 13. Dungeon Crawl Classics (16 points) 14. Star Wars (14 points) 15. Amber (14 points) 16. Vampire (13 points) 17. Toon (13 points) 18. The Fantasy Trip (13 points) 19. Traveller (12 points) 20. Gamma World (12 points) This is a bit different. Pendragon and the various D&D editions move up, Call of Cthulhu moves down, and Gamma World and the Fantasy Trip show up. But look at number 19. Not everyone gave an edition for every RPG. So I thought to revist the votes using just the game, and not the edition. With all the votes, it comes out to: 1. D&D (512 points) 2. Traveller (184 points) 3. Call of Cthulhu (168 points) 4. Pendragon (159 points) 5. Fate (142 points) 6. Apocalypse World (118 points) 7. Blades in the Dark (115 points) 8. Savage Worlds (86 points) 9. Warhammer Fantasy (76 points) 10. Cyberpunk (76 points) 11. Feng Shui (71 points) 12. Star Wars (62 points) 13. Burning Wheel (59 points) 14. Dungeon Crawl Classics (58 points) 15. Toon (50 points) 16. Over the Edge (47 points) 17. Amber (46 points) 18. Vampire (45 points) 19. The Fantasy Trip (45 points) 20. Champions (45 points) D&D taking the top spot is obvious given the votes for the various editions (and technically ballot stuffing, since many people voted for multiple editions). Fate does very well here, moving from 14 to 5. And a lot of other systems that there wasn't room for make it into the top 20. And if we only look at each person's top 10, the votes are: 1. D&D (176 points) 2. Traveller (48 points) 3. Pendragon (47 points) 4. Call of Cthulhu (43 points) 5. Fate (32 points) 6. Apocalypse World (28 points) 7. Blades in the Dark (26 points) 8. Savage Worlds (22 points) 9. Warhammer Fantasy (18 points) 10. Cyberpunk (17 points) 11. Dungeon Crawl Classics (16 points) 12. Over the Edge (15 points) 13. Star Wars (14 points) 14. Amber (14 points) 15. Vampire (13 points) 16. Toon (13 points) 17. The Fantasy Trip (13 points) 18. Champions (13 points) 19. Gamma World (12 points) 20. Twilight 2000 (11 points) It's mostly the same in the top ten, but a couple RPGs drop out below there. [/QUOTE]
