generic answer of scouting rpg tagged games would be meaningless. As such I've grabbed all the titles that you could vote for in felipepepe top70 and 2012-2016 goty. There were 419 of them. I've removed filler, numerals, fake repetition coming from series, used base word, sometimes made changes like splitting darklands into dark+land, discarded words with less than 3 occurrences(not to make list too long), probably made some mistakes but didnt check my work.

As such, here is list of most used words in game titles that felipepepe considered worthy to be added to his rpg polls.

dark 19
dragon 11
land 11
quest 11
dungeon 11
shadow 9
tale 9
world 9
knight 8
legend 8
king 7
war 6
star 6
magic 6
adventure 6
gate 6
blood 6
under 6
legacy 5
soul 5
throne 4
stone 4
curse 4
age 3
dawn 3
blade 3
exile 3
day 3
crusader 3
heart 3
fall 3
eye 3
master 3
chronicle 3
tactic 3
secret 3
wolf 3
kingdom 3
lord 3
isle 3
destiny 3
sword 3
wizard 3

what are these games with "wizardry" on the title and how are they not fake repetition coming from series?

"of"
"the"

Edit: Actually, those aren't really used all that often are they?

Interesting list, so, it's seems like might and sorcery aren't used that much, who wants to launch a new "Might & Sorcery" franchise ? :bounce:

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Citing Krynn is a bit silly, given that it's the name of the dragonlance setting and therefore is used in the names of each part of the trilogy.

True, but it's never a bad thing to give more recognition to the best Gold Box series.

Pool of Radiance is the best single Gold Box game, though. :M
