Do you mean products or actual sales? The lastest product is product_id # 1827 and that should be close to the number of products sold at RPGNow. As for actual sales, I doubt James would share that figure. There is a thread somewhere in the d20 publishing forum where some of the d20 publishers discuss their sales figures at RPGNow.

I probably shouldn't give out this number cause someone is bound to try to extrapulate that I'm a millionaire out of it... far from the truth. But anyway, I think he was asking for overall RPGNow sales numbers and in the spirit of this forum and it's openness... here you go:

Total PDFs/ZIPs/Products downloaded from RPGNow as of June 2003:

123,101

Total number of paid products downloaded:

51,175

Total orders processed:

62,430

Total satisfied customers and publishers:

Countless

Wow James, that's very cool and unexpected you'd let us know. Hopefully you'll double those numbers soon!

I forget who originally coined this... I think it was Morrus or Jason and it made logical sense enough for me not to put up with it. Not to take it laying down. Not to let it be the case. So I've made efforts through ads, membership promotions, CD Demos, conventions, and other marketing to increase our the gross revenue of RPGNow. Which is after all the limiting factor in the eyes of the people making these statements.

Here are two growth charts for the last 12 months from RPGNow.





I plan to hand out 1000 demo CD's at GenCon. We're on a 10,000 circulation demo that Twin Rose did. Also, 90% of all the vendors I spoke to at Origins intend to do something with RPGNow.com in the near future.

Ooh looks like time for an IPO.

In a heartbeat. I'd be over it in a heartbeat.
