Even their Song of Ice and Fire (2009) was charting. The other possible answer for #3 is Green Ronin: they did well with Warhammer Fantasy 2e before they lost the license, while their Mutants & Masterminds (2001) was the last major hold-out of the d20 boom of the early '00s. The alternative answer is "Fantasy Flight Games" who did very well with GW's Warhammer 40k RPGs (2008), though their Warhammer Fantasy 3e RPG (2009) was a flash-in-the-pan, where Green Ronin's work on Warhammer Fantasy 2e (2005) had been much more evergreen. If WotC was #1 in the late '00s and White Wolf was #2, who was #3? The best answer is probably "Games Workshop", though in truth all of their products were now being produced by licensees. White Wolf's Exalted (2001) and Scion (2007) games had even less staying power: they both dropped off the lists by the end of the '00s. Similarly, White Wolf's World of Darkness (1991+) looks very strong here, but what isn't apparent from this composite is that it slid during this half-a-decade, moving from the regular #2 spot to the regular #3 spot. But by Q3 2010, the two games would be tied, and by Q2 2011, Pathfinder would have attained dominance as Wizards of the Coast sputtered through the years of D&D 4e's downfall. To start with, D&D (2000, 2003, 2008) was in a clearly unassailable position (ranking #1 through all 20 listings), while Pathfinder (2009) was the plucky newcomer.
Since 2005 they've put out an approximately quarterly list of the top five RPG systems based on "interviews with retailers, distributors, and manufacturers". ICv2 has long remained an interesting source for top RPGs. Obviously, there are some gaps there, and so I'm going to use this penultimate column for 2020 to fill in some of those holes and look at the top RPGs of some of the more recent years.
