I don't have time to post any details, since I have to go to my friend's birthday party, but here are the top ten games based on the "Top Ten Lists" in the other thread:

1.  Call of Cthulhu
2.  D&D 3.x
3.  WFRP
4.  Rules Cyclopedia D&D
5.  Classic Traveller
6.  Basic D&D (TSR)
7.  GURPS - 3rd Edition Revised
8.  Marvel Superheroes
9.  Runequest

I'll post more detail tomorrow.  Ask and you shall recieve.  

I'm a bit surprised that Jorune did not make it into the Top Ten...

Regards,

Good work (and thanks!) Joe, but where'd #10 go?

And shouldn't our Top Ten go to 11?

Thanks for crunching the data.  If it's not too much trouble I'd also be interested in a top 10 that considers D&D as a single game.

That would be interesting...as well as maybe a few of the top runners-up.

Joe, sorry you volunteered yet?

I'm quite surprised that CoC beat D&D 3.x. Is that the d20 version, or didn't you differentiate?

I would have thought you could combine Rules Cyclopedia D&D and Basic D&D.  I mean, they're essentially the same system.  I'm surprised at some of the entries - very "old school" stuff there.  I'm also surprised the GURPS 3rd makes the list but not 4th.  But then, I didn't participate in any of the threads.

This is a pretty Grognardy site though to be honest, part of why I tend to post here.

I'd be very surprised if that was the d20 version.

a) Thanks Joe!

b) Where did #10 go?

c) Are we talking WFRP 1E or 2E?

d) Could you please do as Jrients said?

e) What about the runner-ups?

Actually I'm not surprised Call of Cthulhu came out at #1, as it tends to end up in the top ten lists of people who love D&D, and also in the lists of the people who hate it as well.

I heartily agree with the top three!

Yeah, my Top Ten was more a Top Nine.  Sorry 'bout that.  I was as consistent as possible on editions and stuff, there were a lot of votes for specific editions of games, and even more votes for games with multiple editions and no mention of edition.  I actually separated B/X D&D, RC D&D, AD&D1e, AD&D2e, and D&D 3.x.  Maybe that was stupid, but most of the way people voted was stupid.  

I know it's unrealistic, but next time we do this, there should be some standards how to vote and for what.  Not that I'm complaining too much, but it was less than fun to reorganize the 10-1 lists and the lists with a ton of commentary.

So now, on to questions:

Quote from: jrientsIf it's not too much trouble I'd also be interested in a top 10 that considers D&D as a single game.

Well, I combined B/X and RC D&D into one.  If I changed all flavors of D&D into one category, I'd have to do the same thing all over or the data loses some meaning.

It had more to do with consistency than anything.  I tried to make everyone's vote get counted for what they wanted...which was sometimes pretty specific.

Quote from: JongKb) Where did #10 go?

I missed it, whoops.  It's Hero System.

Quote from: JongKc) Are we talking WFRP 1E or 2E?

Actually both, since I fucked that up pretty early.  The first 4 or fice people who mentinoned it didn't have an edition in mind, and since I've never played it nor read it, I didn't know to look for an edition number...until I saw it.  The two editions aren't radically different are they?

Quote from: JongKd) Could you please do as Jrients said?

Done

Quote from: JongKe) What about the runner-ups?

Al in good time (see my next post)

Quote from: droogIs that the d20 version (of CoC), or didn't you differentiate?

Nope, that's the BRP version.  I did differentiate, and CoC d20 is #79 on the list.

Since Combining Basic D&D and RC D&D, My results are a little different, but overly so.  So here's theRPGsite's Official Top Ten:

• Call of Cthulhu
• Rules Cyclopedia (Basic) D&D
• D&D 3.x
• WFRP
• Classic Traveller
• GURPS - 3rd Edition Revised
• Marvel Superheroes (FASERIP)
• Runequest
• Hero System
• All Flesh Must Be Eaten

The Five Runners Up:

  11.  Unknown Armies
  12.  Star Wars (WEG)
  13.  Castles and Crusades
  14.  Shadowrun 3rd Edition
  15.  Cyberpunk 2020
