[QUOTE="Atom Again, post: 1660971, member: 16489"] Something I've been wondering about a lot lately... Why aren't Star Wars D20 and Star Trek (Decipher) dominating the RPG market? If you think about it, it makes sense that they should. I mean, Star Wars and Star Trek are easily *the* two most popular SF franchises in the history of the genre, with legions of devoted (some would say rabid ;) ) fans. Toys, books, models, lego sets, t-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, bobble heads...you name it, it probably exists for Star Wars and Star Trek. Why haven't the thousands (millions?) of Star Wars/Star Trek fans eagerly gobbled up the RPGs? Isn't it every Star Wars geek's dream to be a Jedi? Or ever Trekker's dream to captain his own star ship? I don't get it. Discuss. [/QUOTE]
