The Top 5 posts of 2012
2012 has been a great year for the blog. According to the stats plugin I use the blog has been viewed about 260,000 times last year. This is quite amazing in my opinion. I never thought so many people were interested in what we’re writing here. 
So let’s have a look at the 5 most popular posts in 2012:

#5: Sandbox games: A collection of links
In early 2012 I planned to run a sandbox game for the first time and looked for great posts on the topic in the RPG blogosphere. This post links to a couple of posts that explain how to create and run a proper sandbox campaign. -
#4: Our thoughts on D&D 5th Edition
I am actually not surprised that this post made the top 5. D&D is still the most famous roleplaying game out there and a lot of people are very interested about the upcoming D&D Next. At the time of writing I actually lost all interest in D&D Next. One reason is definitely the fact that it will still take quite a while until the game is finally available and there are a lot of interesting alternatives like 13th Age, Barebones Fantasy, you name it. -
#3: My thoughts on the D&D Next playtest rules
Again, this is no surprise to me. D&D Next was and still is a hot topic and I would actually be surprised if my thoughts on the D&D Next playtest had been ignored by the community. -
#2: My thoughts on the “Star Wars Edge of The Empire Beta”
Hmm, I am beginning to see a trend here. It seems the readers of Stargazer’s World are very interested what our team of authors thinks about new developments in the gaming industry/community. Perhaps I should try to focus more on this subject in 2013. What do you think? -
#1: Review: Iron Kingdoms Core Rules
My review of the new Iron Kingdoms roleplaying game was actually the most popular post in 2012. Since I posted it on September 11th it has been viewed about 4,600 times. It’s actually the 9th most viewed post on the blog since I started in 2008. I never would have guessed this post would be that popular. Wow!

My favourite was probably “#4: Our thoughts on D&D 5th Edition”, but I had to look back at that one as I’ve only started reading your blog a few months ago.
Your site is a great read and I’m delighted by the viewing figures.
