Legend
What are those last few books?
A&A = Art and Arcana
WDDotMM = Water Deep, Dungeon of the Mad Mage
What are those last few books?
Especially since I just read an article about "10 worlds I'd love to play in a D&D campaign" that cited non-D&D games by name .... as D&D?!?
or simply proof that the numbers are not 100% accurate
I also wonder if there a still distribution issues with the new ones (which seem pretty low for new releases). I was at at B&N last night and at first I was shocked to see all the D&D accessories available: minis, gird packs, map packs, dice, board games (wrath of ashardalon, dungeon, & another one that escapes me at the moment). I hadn't seen so many D&D accessories at major retailer for years in my area. Then I noticed they didn't have WDDH or DotMM or GMGtR! A later realized the had whole new display in a more prominent position that did have the new books, WDDH & DotMM and AA, but there was still no GMGtR. Either it was selling much better, or they don't have enough. Not sure which.
I haven't checked my FLGS yet, but if I decided to buy that us where I will go. I has hoping to look through it first and B&N is closer to my house.At my store we weren't initially sent AS many of the GMGtR, but as it sells, they send us replacements.
But how does this fit into the narrative about how 5E is the worst, the books are mediocre, and nobody likes the game...?
Inquiring minds want to know!
The corebooks are selling really well relative to the adventures. But as I have been reminded many times on these boards, core rule books always outsell adventures, in all times and places.
To have a setting book in the top 200, and an art book in the top 500, are both pretty interesting. Curious to see how they do over the next few months.

That is truly amazing and unexpected. B&N's still exists?
