[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9668538, member: 6779310"] The thing is, there are fanbases, and note that Modiphius is still treating it as their flagship RPG (pun intended). Current licensed Trek RPGS, Commercial: STA and Captain's Log (both 2d20 from Modiphius), GPD, PD20, PD1e Current Fan-License RPGs: Alpha Quadrant, Where No Man Has Gone Before, Far Trek, Jack Photon (fasa pseudoclone) Not licensed but clearly Trek: Starships and Spacemen (both editions in PDF, both available POD last I checked) That STA is a top 10 seller after 8 years? Impressive. Given my druthers? I'd play LUG. I'll run STA or PD1. I long awaited D6PD... but it's been cancelled in favor of Traveller PD. When you can sustain a brand for 8+ years, have 30+ pages of fan commentary on the backer beta, and are competing with another licensed Trek RPG? STA is doing well. Star Wars has plenty of players, too... online play includes WEG, WotC, and FFG/Edge... and fan ports for Savage Worlds, Genesys, and several of the narrativist games I can't recall the name of, plus several clearly "We can't get the license but are publishing anyway" highly narrativist games. Once More Into The Void is clearly riffing off Picard Season 1... and doing it nicely - I've run it. was odd but fun. But it avoids IP just enough to be safe from Paramount. If anything, ALIEN is the SMALLEST fanbase of the bunch. Half my player base won't touch it. The other half loved it. Alien's the only one where the game is the best source for extended universe.
