[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8256663, member: 87792"] This. D&D overshadows the entire hobby. If we [URL='https://blog.roll20.net/posts/the-orr-group-industry-report-q4-2020-a/']look at the Roll 20 statistics[/URL] back from 2019 and the pre-COVID days D&D 5e on its own made up approximately half of all games. [B][ATTACH type="full"]136104[/ATTACH] [/B] Traveller by contrast? 0.09% It's an also-ran. And if you asked me off the top of my head to name an SF RPG setting I'd start with Shadowrun, 40k, Star Wars, and possibly Cyberpunk and Stars Without Number. I'd probably get to Gamma World before I remembered Traveller. Traveller might have been a default setting in the 70s - but these days it is very very niche, and mostly of interest to the old and historians. It's hard to be a "default setting" if the majority of people these days don't even know you exist. And count me as someone else who started with something other than D&D - WFRP and GURPS in my case.
