True, the Cosmere "all in" had a lot of books with Lore and Adventure material for two Settings, whereas as this one is the Starter Set and the core book plus the unrelated card game and a ton of swag. Might be more people dipping their toes in just some of the core RPG or card material.

OK, a update on the current status, DCC is doing extremely well, trending towards $14.1 million per BackerTracker, but getting ahead of Cosmere is still well within their margin of error with a few weeks to go: That being said, the Cosmere RPG did have a higher number for each day-to-date so...

That's like asking if I consider a certain cookbook part of the Food Network Culinary Universe: a cookbook is a tool to guide in making something, not Scripture.

Is Paizo selling that content in a publication...? Did WotC sell third party content in Dragon or Dungeon magazine...? My point isn't exactly that it should or should not count, but that the situation is so different as to make the comparison inexaxt, apples to oranges. But at this point, if...

This is the first year since maybe 2018 I'm not working on Saturdays...

I had the surreal experience of browsing the rule examples yesterday, and then starting the book for the first time in the evening and going "oh, hey, this is just the game they are making now"...

That is what the card game in the crowdfunder looks like.

I don't detest it at all, in fact I love the prose. Just not sure I get it.

I'm not sure the book is to my taste fully, but enjoying getting into the first one now. Lit-RPG is one of the first things to give me real "Get Off My Lawn, You Darn Kids" energy, but I'm happy for the people who like it.
