Oh. That's unfortunate, a lot of people have told me good things about 3.5e. I though that it would have done better, but I never looked at it's sales rates.
In theory. During the years of 4e, however, I'm pretty sure it wasn't there best sales years, but it could just be that Pathfinder just did way better.
Oh, no. Of course not, I just made a very bad guess. I looked into it some more, and I agree that number was
ridiculous. I'd just like to recognize that not all people that play RPG's online use roll20.
I do recognize that there has been a lot more references to D&D throughout the years, and I don't have anything to prove my opinion, but I feel like Stranger Things reference has been most effective. This is not only because D&D has had it's best sale the year after Stranger Things season 1 came...
I do agree that being a DM is easier in 5e, however I just recently started playing D&D on Discord, while also using roll20 and D&D Beyond. What I have discovered is much more players looking for DM's than DM's looking for players.
