Quarter 3 is well behind us and we’ve analyzed what everyone’s been playing the past 3 months. Here’s the brief overview of The Orr Group Industry Report for Q3 2017:

We’ve now broken our Sample Size record for the 7th quarter in a row! Thank you to everyone who’s stuck with us, and to those who have just joined!

*Dungeons & Dragons 5e* continues to reach ever new heights, increasing nearly 3% from Q2 to Q3. Nearly 55% of all games played on Roll20 are *D&D 5e*, with over 64% of players engaged with the system. Aside from having a life all its own, the continuous releases of amazing high quality Roll20 conversions, such as the recent\_\_ [Tyranny of Dragons](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fmarketplace.roll20.net%2Fbrowse%2Fbundle%2F15%2Ftyranny-of-dragons-bundle&t=Yjc2MWMxMTQ4MjgwNzEyNjdhYzU4YjAxMWViNzNjNmQ4MmI5MjYzYywyejdlYjV6aQ%3D%3D&b=t%3AAWOiB2yTKRq7_ROi5nEu2g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.roll20.net%2Fpost%2F167058851665%2Fthe-orr-group-industry-report-q3-2017&m=1&ts=1610475073)\_\_, likely helps keep bumping this number up.

*Pathfinder* remains a strong 2nd, being 13% of our games played and 28.9% of players engaging with the system. *Paizo*’s latest game, *Starfinder*, made a formidable debut with 604 active games this quarter, and generated a lot of [SciFi excitement in our Marketplace](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fmarketplace.roll20.net%2Fbrowse%2Fsearch%2F%3Fkeywords%3D%26sortby%3Dnewest%26type%3Dallart%26genre%3Dscifi&t=ZjdiYzE0YmFhZTU5MGYxNGFlODc0NjA5NzAyMTY4MjMxMDFlNzlmNSwyejdlYjV6aQ%3D%3D&b=t%3AAWOiB2yTKRq7_ROi5nEu2g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.roll20.net%2Fpost%2F167058851665%2Fthe-orr-group-industry-report-q3-2017&m=1&ts=1610475073).

*World of Darkness* continues its rise in popularity, just barely edging out *Star Wars* for its new status as the 5th most played system, holding 1.87% of games played. With a general excitement for their related video games, as well as the announcement of *V5*, we’re not altogether surprised.

Not shown in our list, but to be debuted next time and then forever onwards, is *Blades in the Dark*, with approximately 1400 players using its character sheet. The\_\_ [Roll20 Twitch channel](https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.twitch.tv%2Froll20app&t=ZjU3ZWNkMTI2YzUyNjk4MGY3YTVhMjhkMzBlZTgyNDM1NWIwMDA5ZiwyejdlYjV6aQ%3D%3D&b=t%3AAWOiB2yTKRq7_ROi5nEu2g&p=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.roll20.net%2Fpost%2F167058851665%2Fthe-orr-group-industry-report-q3-2017&m=1&ts=1610475073)\_\_ has been featuring the fantastic *Blades in the Dark* system, and could likely be a factor in its increasing popularity on our platform.

A Quick Note About The Orr Group Industry Report:

We pull our data from two locations within Roll20 member profiles.

Our percentages can total more than 100%, particularly Player numbers, since each player will list their interest in multiple games.
