5. Daniel Lewis Nice! It restores my faith in humanity that Dungeon World beat Eclipse Phase and Paranoia.

7. It looks like there will be a Fiasco v. Lady Blackbird matchup. That’s like asking me which of my children would I prefer to murder!

9. I’m not going to defend Paranoia, but Eclipse Phase seems pretty great.  It also has the world’s best designed .pdf, so that’s something.

11. Daniel Lewis Eh, it might be fine. I’m just talking smack. To paraphrase Rob Ferguson : I’ve never read it!

15. Lady Blackbird is just destroying Trail of Cthulhu. DW v. AW is very close. Fiasco v. Fate is insanely close.

17. I think it’s pretty appropriate that Lady Blackbird ended up matched up against Trail; nothing will make you appreciate LB more than prepping to run a game of ToC.

19. Daniel Lewis Fiasco is within 4 votes of catching-up to Fate!

21. Woo!

22. Woo!

23. Actually, on a side note, I have been reading-up on Fate Core. I can behind running that. Seems pretty cool.

25. I have been wanting to try Fate Core, too.  One day I will definitely run Court/Ship.  French aristocracy + alien invasion?  Yes, please!

27. There are just two votes separating Fiasco and Fate! I can’t handle this tension!

29. I’m guessing it’ll be Dungeon World.  It does the best job at ripping off D&D and making it better.  And really, all that a ton of people in this hobby wanna do is be an elf, stab orcs, and level up.

    Also:  Dogs in the Vineyard over Monsterhearts?  The fuck?

    Also also:  Someone stacked the deck against Evil Hat in a way they didn’t against PbtA games.  Fate eliminated both Dresden Files and Don’t Rest Your Head, while it would have been possible to have at least 4 out of the final 8 be PbtA games.

31. Oh man.  I just looked at the results.  This would be less depressing if people were just like:  PATHFINDER’S THE BEST, WOOOOOOO!  And it narrowly beat out Shadowrun and Vampire or something.  Because at least then I wouldn’t care.
