D&D General D&D Settings sorted by material released

[The Glen]

Out of a morbid curiosity I wanted to know which setting had the most support as far as supplements and adventures went. I went through the various catalogs and got a decent count of each one, trying to avoid reprints where I could. This covers all five editions, as well as BECMI/RC. After I counted all the RPG products, I did go back and count the novels.

Forgotten Realms: 186 (15 boxed sets, 81 accessories, 59 Adventures, 31 computer games)
Mystara: 121 (10 boxed sets, 41 accessories, 62 adventures, 8 computer games)
Ravenloft: 120 (8 boxed sets, 75 accessories, 32 adventures, 3 computer games)
Greyhawk: 92 (2 boxed sets, 89 adventures, 1 computer game) Greyhawk classified all their supplements as modules in the official list.
Dragonlance: 73 (3 boxed sets, 33 accessories, 29 modules, 8 computer games)
Dark Sun: 43 (7 boxed sets, 26 accessories, 9 adventures, 1 computer game)
Planescape: 33 (6 boxed sets, 14 accessories, 12 adventures, 1 hell of a computer game)
Birthright: 32 (5 boxed sets, 21 accessories, 5 adventures, 1 computer game)
Eberron: 29 (20 accessories, 8 adventures, 1 computer game)
Spelljammer: 14 (4 boxed sets, 4 accessories, 5 adventures, 1 computer game)

When you add the novels the list skews wildly.
Forgotten Realms 512 (+326 novels)
Dragonlance: 263 (+190 novels)
Ravenloft: 144 (+24 novels)
Mystara: 131 (+10 novels)
Greyhawk: 106 (+14 novels)
Eberron: 69 (+40 novels)
Dark Sun: 59 (+16 novels)
Planescape: 39 (+6 novels)
Birthright: 38 (+6 novels)
Spelljammer: 20 (+6 novels)

Interesting stats. You’re missing Kingdoms of Kalamar, which while made by Kenzer and Co, was an official D&D setting during 3E.

40 novels for Eberron? I would not have guessed.

Neat that Dragonlance jumps from 5th to 2nd when you count novels. Did you count Saga stuff for Dragonlance? Some hefty sourcebooks there like their Wings of Fury on dragons of Krynn.

Three for Jakandor.

I wonder how many for things not attached to any world.

Yes I did, that's where a bulk of the accessories/sourcebooks turned up. Dragonlance had problems with a lot of supplements that were all fluff, which made them less game books and more merchandising.

13 series and some stand-alone.

Eberron technically has 2 computer games if you count DDO for being set in both Eberron and Forgotten Realms.

Wow, interesting stats. I had no idea about a lot of that, especially the novels.

 

[Leatherhead]

Where did you get the numbers for the computer games?

Eberron technically has 2 computer games if you count DDO for being set in both Eberron and Forgotten Realms.

There are actually two D&D MMOs, one based off of 3.5 and set in Eberron, the other based of of 4e and set in FR.

When I say based off of an edition, I mean it loosely, they are MMOs after all.
