    D&D 3E/3.5 5E's Initial Raw Sales Numbers Stronger Than 3E's!

    I'm familiar with some of the sales rank numbers which you're referring to and based on what I've read, I think you are for the most part correct. But from what I've read, IIRC, those who have deciphered the numbers have said that it's thousands per day overall, not just Amazon. Thousands per...

    D&D 3E/3.5 5E's Initial Raw Sales Numbers Stronger Than 3E's!

    I think you misunderstood. I'm not saying that the Amazon Rank has anything to do with Bookscan (or vice versa). I'm saying that since no one except Amazon knows how their ranks translate into units, someone (Publishers Weekly in 2013, IIRC) used Bookscan numbers to figure out how many units per...

    D&D 5E DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    Hopefully you are reporting those errors in the Feedback Forum, as that is the purpose of being a beta tester, and the only way the final product will meet your expectations.

    D&D 5E DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    Yeah, I had no idea when I posted my comments about the page controls. That's nice, though I wish it worked for the other screens (like Choose Race and Class) as well. Most of all, I'm really pleased to see how receptive they are to all the feedback and reporting they're already getting. That...

    D&D 5E DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    Yep, got my beta invite and started yesterday. Have had no issues at all with Chrome, hmmm. Not only that, but I was actually able to run it on my Kindle Fire HDX with its Silk browser, of all things! So I was able to create a character on the Kindle, then later log in on the PC to access that...

    For all the oh-so-certain skeptics in the Really Want Access to DungeonScape thread, this one's for you:

    D&D 5E Really want access to DungeonScape

    Very, very small possibility for a number of reasons. Submissions are rarely approved the first time. Large, complex apps generally require a more extensive review. And the wait time for reviews has nearly doubled over the past few weeks, possibly due to the pending release of iPhone 6 and iOS 8...

    D&D 5E Really want access to DungeonScape

    Nailed it. I work for a software development firm, we are developing apps, and this is all true. We're a bunch of Android users, but we know where the market is right now. Beyond that, when you target the iPad, you target a very well-defined platform, one that has the majority 33% marketshare...

    D&D 5E My interview with Trapdoor Technologies about DungeonScape

    FINALLY, I can talk about DU 103071 !!!! ;) As Hobo the Delightful mentioned, I was one of those at Origins who got the coin and, shortly after, figured out that there must be some hidden meaning to the code. I contacted Rachael after the con, and she confirmed that the code was not unique to...

    D&D 5E Second guessing WOTC

    I hope so. Perhaps the rush was to get it out for GenCon, and into the hands of "the faithful", and a bigger push will come later because of the holidays, and the three books being out. EDIT: Whoops, just saw that MortalPlague said pretty much the same thing in reply to my post!

    D&D 5E Second guessing WOTC

    I love the Starter Set and have felt that the combination of price point and choice of components was very smart, however... I was assuming that a big part of the strategy was to get the game onto the shelves of the big box stores like WalMart, Target and Toys-R-Us. Really hit the masses for...

    D&D 5E DM Minion 5E Released

    Any chance this will end up in the Amazon Kindle app store? I have a Kindle HDX and use it for so much of my gaming these days, and I'd buy the full version in a heartbeat!

    D&D 5E Basic rules paperback tweeted by Morrus

    I can't help but think that incidents such as this are not a great way for us to get the kind of GSL (or SRD or OGL) that we would like to see for fifth edition. There will always be people who will want to push the boundaries beyond what was permitted or intended.

    D&D 5E “Stealing tapestries doesn’t make you a better person, except…” - Yet Another D&D 5e Starter Set Unboxing Video

    The exceptionally high production values in this video make it a real treat to watch! Highly recommended, and I hope to see more of this as the products keep rolling out.
