Very interesting. Looking back at the report from last April, one thing that I find odd is that while it looks like Pathfinder, 3.5, and 4E all gained similar % of players saying they are interested in playing those games, Pathfinder was the only one to have any increase in actual games while 3.5 and 4E had less games. That seems very odd, because the numbers show a LOT more players.



I wonder how much of this is players choosing other systems versus GMs not running the quantities or types of games those players want. I suppose "table" size is another factor but I think that still leads back to number of games.



5e nearly tripled the number of people open to playing it, and the number of games almost doubled, which must mean that 5e players are very active in terms of number of games.
