No, I've been looking. It has only been a few days. Less than a week? oof.Folks use this thread to measure how D&D is doing all the time. Has there been any movement that suggests the OGL debacle is having any impact on sales -- especially preorders of the next book (Keys)?
It can take a while, but the worm can turn; sharply over what can seem in retrospect a relatively small slice in time.Those PHB sales indicate that people are still getting into the game...at an astonishing rate. I am sure most of them barely have any idea of who WotC is, except maybe as the company that also does Magic.
That doesn't mean the OGL fiasco can't have an impact, it can. But right now D&D still has great momentum.
