48 Hours Into the Poll - 165 Votes!

Yep, the WHICH "OLD SCHOOL" RPG SHOULD YOUR FRIENDLY TAVERN KEEPER RUN FOR THE PATRONS OF THIS BLOG IN OCTOBER ON G+ HANGOUTS?" poll has 165 votes nearly 48 hrs into the poll.

Damn sweet! 5 days to go, so if you haven't voted (or even better, are looking to play in October) vote (and comment if you would like).

Top 3 contenders at the moment are:

Labyrinth Lord with 38 votes

Blood & Treasure with 36 votes

Swords & Wizardry Complete with 34 votes.

Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea is leading with 5 mentions in the comments section of the "Poll Post" - vocal fans there ;)

I think I'll go with Porky's advice, and give a quick paragraph on each, maybe split into 4 posts with 4 systems to a post - something t bang out during "Football Sunday" :)

  1. I hate to be a wet blanket Erik but are you aware that it's possible to vote multiple times for the same game on this poll? A person need only revisit the post and vote anew each time. As such I have to be dubious about the accuracy of the poll.

  2. Actually, you would need to clear your cookies or use a different browser.

    It also seems to remember your vote if you cast it when logged into blogger.

    Yes, you can game the system, but it does require a few extra steps. I'll assume most wouldn't do so.

  3. Unfortunately I don't think it's as difficult as you think. I did it accidentally, purely because my memory is crap and I wasn't quite awake when I voted the second time, forgetting I'd already voted the day before (I hadn't cleared cookies either). Then when I clicked I thought to myself "hang on a minute" and simply opened one of your other posts to reveal the poll again and voted a third time, with the tally increasing accordingly.

    I figure this is a blogger glitch.
