Re: Which SciFi ttrpg has the largest player base?
Just to chip in that we can look at the ICV2 numbers of what game stores think are the hottest games for another perspective on what is popular - broadly; retailers think Star Wars and Starfinder sell with Alien as a hot new thing.
The following is a ranked list of how often games have placed in the top 5 since 2015 (13 reports; D&D appeared in all of them to give a sense of perspective)
Dungeons & Dragons 13
Pathfinder 12
Star Wars (FFG) 11
Starfinder 5
Shadowrun 6
Fantasy/Dragon Age 3
World of Darkness 3
Alien 2
Cyberpunk 2
Iron Kingdoms 1
Adventures in Middle Earth 1
Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition 1
Genesys (FFG) 1
Legend of the Five Rings (FFG) 1
Star Trek Adventures 1
Fate 1
This focuses on the US market but given that is ~2/3 of the whole show we can say it should be representative. I am alas too new to post a link - google "ICV2 rpg sales"
