Ben Milton—creator of the YouTube channel Questing Beast and the tabletop games Maze Rats and Knave—is currently running an RPG Playstyles Survey.
I took the survey recently and found the questions genuinely interesting. They dig into how we actually play at the table, our preferences as Game Masters and players, and what we value most during a session.
In his video announcing the project, Ben notes that his regular viewership naturally leans heavily toward the OSR community. However, he is actively looking to gather data from a much wider base of tabletop gamers. I wanted to share it here on Stargazer’s World because I agree: data like this becomes far more valuable and insightful when it reflects a diverse range of playstyles, systems, and gaming traditions.
If you have a few minutes to spare, I recommend checking it out and adding your voice to the mix. I am looking forward to seeing the results and the trends that emerge.
