D&D 5E I think we can safely say that 5E is a success, but will it lead to a new Golden Era?

And since I've gone ahead and jumped in.

This might provide the reports mentioned.

Thaumaturge.

I believe that http://www.jstor.org/ disproves those reports.

I wouldn't know. I can't read.

Nerds arguing over Amazon rankings! Must be a new edition.

For comparison from the UK:

• Amazon Bestsellers Rank: 169 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
  • #6 in Books > Sports, Hobbies & Games > Hobbies & Games

(It's down to #8 on Amazon.com)

Very impressive. Especially since Amazon UK aren't offering any discount, and don't have the book in stock. So you can get it quicker, and often cheaper, elsewhere.

Barnes & Noble ranks it at #69 as of this posting. (It's gone up; it was #120 this morning.)

For some followup data, Amazon says PH was up to #29 a few days ago, and then yesterday Amazon had PH back down to #34, while MM made the top 10, at #9. PHB seems to have slipped a bit since then, but MM remained at #9 earlier today.

I don't personally recall any Monster Manual or other monster book from another company ever hitting the top 10 on the Amazon Overall All-Books Best Sellers List like that. But, perhaps it did at some point in a prior edition and I just don't recall it?

I could not find the Monster Manual on Barnes & Noble, though they have both the PHB and the DMG. I think this means it sold out on Barnes & Noble? I can't think of any other reason why it's no longer listed.

Edit - Yes, confirmed, MM sold out on B&N. I got the message, "! We are sorry but the item you just added ISBN is not currently available. Please check back with us again at a later date, or search our Out of Print store."

The owner of my FLGS is claiming he can't even order more PHB's at this point as his distributor is sold out.

Apparently the Monster Manual is currently sold out on amazon at the moment.

We're having dire troubles getting more PHBs from our distributor.
