Last time I put down numbers was 2014. 12 OSR then, so a slight increase. Back then it was almost all Pathfinder, this time it was mostly 5e, a lot of them Basic 5e (i.e. the free starter rules) with a few Pathfinder sprinkled in. I didn't go through
BFP took quite a hit, as they were at 11 vs. 5 now. 3.5 ealso had 13 and is now down to 1.was one game previously. DCC gained 1 game.
As to AD&D 1e is gone now, where there were 2 or 3 games before. Oe took a hit as it was between 3-5 (counting a couple clones) and is now only 2 if you include Black Hack. 2e went up in popularity a lot, being previously 2 games. LotFP is gone, there

No 4th Ed D&D at all? Wow... gamers really dropped that version
quickly. I thought the outrage over how disliked it was disliked was
the Internet being its usual self (mind you, I wasn't fond of the
system either, but I'm peculiar ;-) , but seeing it so quickly
abandoned makes me think that maybe it really /was/ that hated.
Also, yay for the 5 sessions still running 2nd edition ;-)

I wasn't quite so interested in the non-OSR stuff, so didn't report
how many of each of those there were, but I went back and
double checked, absolutely no 4th edition games. Well, o.k.
there was one, 4th edition of Champions :)
There was one 13th Age game, which was based off of 4e.
From what I've read of it, it's not really very 4e though and probably >further from 4e than most OSR games are from 3e/5e.

world. Irrationally hated by most users even though it included most
of what people had been asking for in a new version at that point, and
many of its features continued to persist in the rebranded successor
that was beloved largely because it wasn't Vista/4E.
Which isn't to say either product was faultless or up to the standards
and expectations of their predecessors/sequels... but the dislike both products garnered seemed out of proportion to its problems. Had D&D
4th Ed been released as "Bob's Fantasy Role-playing Game" it probably
would have been much better received.
I mean, I didn't like 4th Ed either, but I /know/ my dislike is
irrational and I didn't hold that against 4th Edition in particular. I
just like don't like ANY modern rules systems ;-)
