[QUOTE="Toben the Many, post: 4610314, member: 19273"] D&D being the dominant game certainly has something to do with it. However, that's not the one and only factor. If it were just a matter of D&D being the dominant game, then we would have a very large, very popular Sci-Fi game out there as well. It wouldn't be dominant as D&D, but that Sci-Fi game would be as big as say...White Wolf's line? But we don't have even that. There's D&D on top. Then, coming in at a distant second is: White Wolf and Mutants and Masterminds. The Sci-Fi crowd is divided up between Battletech, Star Wars, ShadowRun, etc. However, I will say that there are strong indications that Dark Heresy might be the 2nd or 3rd best selling game out there right now. So, perhaps we'll see a sudden ascendency of Sci-Fi game out there. Who knows? :) [/QUOTE]
