I was more referring to the calling 5e an OSR product being nonsense.

Lol, you must be joking.

Riiiiight, because WotC is extremely trustworthy and would never mislead anyone :rolleyes:

Those are assumptions. I'm looking for actual sales data. As noted earlier, Amazon books are already included in Bookscan.

That was exactly what RfC was using Bookscan for in their video. So unless there were hundreds of thousands of copies of the 2024 core books sold in digital format, the "strongest start ever" quote sounds more like creative word play rather than concrete sales.

BookScan includes print book sales from Amazon, along with sales from major chains and many independent bookstores. However, it does not track ebooks, which are handled separately. BookScan also has limitations, as it doesn't include sales from all outlets, such as certain big-box stores...

If I'm reading google correctly Amazon sales in Bookscan were never a reliable data point. So it wouldn't influence the Bookscan results. Direct and digital seem to be the only outliers that could account for the gap. But then again, digital wasn't even an option for 2014 so how would we even...

Just watched Roll for Combat and they looked over the Bookscan sales figures for 2014 vs 2024 for the 3 core rulebooks. Apples to apples, the physical 2024 books sold about 1/3 as much as the 2014 books. That doesn't include digital or direct sales of course. RfC didn't have the digital sales...

Very cool.

Seeing that Joe's already got a draft screenplay done of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, I'd disagree with you there. Seems like a waste to just ignore that and start from scratch. Especially knowing that the original DL trilogy was what drew a lot of fans to the setting. And that they have already...

But why would Joe be there then? He's got a screenplay for the first book already done so having him there for something else seems kind of unnecessary? Anyways, having Joe, Margaret and Tracy there shows me there's hope for something halfway decent being done with the IP. If WotC's involvement...

My guess is they'll do an animated or live action Dragonlance Chronicles show of the original trilogy. I can't see any D&D products coming out at this time, since D&D is trending towards that whole franchise model.

Yup, creative marketing citing no real metrics or numbers, timeframes......nothing. I have zero interest in the 2024 rules/books and basically anything D&D related that WotC puts out these days. But this quarterly report is a big nothing burger for D&D.

I'd be down to buy this. I only played it once but I loved it and 2nd hand copies now are kinda pricy.

Doubt it. I'm still guessing its for some sort of sloppy Doomspace digital release.
