Trends
Not who's winning — who's being played. Share of community games over the last two years, smoothed across three months so a single busy week doesn't bounce the lines around. Rising & Falling compares the most recent six months (Feb 2026 – Jul 2026) with the six before them (Aug 2025 – Jan 2026); only entities with at least 10 games in both windows are eligible, so a one-off surge can't top the chart.
Ancient Ones
Each game faces exactly one Ancient One, so these shares add up to the whole table — this is the community's "boss of the month".

Investigators
Favorite characters. Because every game fields a whole team, these are appearance rates — the share of games an investigator turns up in — so they don't add up to 100%.

Expansions
Which boxes are on the table. Also appearance rates — most groups play with several expansions at once — so a near-saturated box like Forsaken Lore sits high and barely moves.
