What RPG Have You Played the Most in Your Life?
Wish it was not the easy/boring answer, but it has to be Dungeons and Dragons. As far as editions go--2nd edition and 5th edition have gotten the most playtime. I was on a bit of a hiatus during 3rd and a bit too young for the earlier editions of the game, but no doubt D&D has been the go to game throughout my life. I have tried other systems, ran other systems, and in certain ways found them to be superior to old reliable, but at the end of the day--unless you get lucky--most players can find common ground in D&D. Almost everyone has a PHB...not everyone is going to pick up a Ryuutama or a Spirit of 77 nor be inclined to learn a new rule-set even if they have access to the games. Is this a bad thing? It sometimes keeps me from getting to try something new, but quite frankly, I am always glad to get in gametime no matter how well-worn the game may be.
