I'd like at least 10 volunteers to help count the number of players in DWRP games! There are currently 60 games on the DWRP masterlist, so I'd assign each volunteer 6 games each to count.

I've had two volunteers so far, more would be great! If not, it's no big deal, I've still got a lot of data to analyse from the latest survey, but it would be quite interesting to look at!

this counting players in game or characters in game?

This would be counting number of players.

what about people who play in more than one game?

presumably they'd cross-reference for that and people with the same handle

I can factor that in by using the survey data that tells us what percentage of DWRPers play in multiple games.

I did this back in July 2016 when I took a small sample of 18 games. You can see the estimate I came up with here.

However, it has a large error margin because I only counted player numbers in a small number of games. If I can get data on number of players in more games, I'll be able to calculate a more accurate figure.
