Anyway, here's an interesting thing. This is a list of the last 25 games that story hyphen games dot com posters have been interested in enough to make a thread about it. So, not games that are given as answers to questions or discussed when discussing experiences, but games that story hyphen games dot com is interested enough in discussing on their own.
I also eliminated all games that are still in development/not finished. But I didn't eliminate duplicates. If people wanted to talk about the same game in multiple threads, I left that in to show interest. When two games are mentioned in the thread title, I list them both.
Note that not all of these games are in threads that are unreservedly positive. Several are like "The Quiet Year - am I doing it wrong?" or things like that.
When I figured out how to page around by year, I did it for several past years too.
Which game do you think story-games spoke about most recently? Ready to find out?

However, it does seem to me from just eyeballing these results, that as D&D's domination of the RPG cultural space has grown over the last four years, it has done the same to story-games.com. Only Apocalypse World has the type of reach D&D does at story hyphen games dot com these days.

So I won't make any conclusions.However, it does seem to me from just eyeballing these results, that as D&D's domination of the RPG cultural space has grown over the last four years, it has done the same to story-games.com. Only Apocalypse World has the type of reach D&D does at story hyphen games dot com these days.
