I think the total was more copies than that. More like 60k?

Yet, I still see it every year at the very small convention I go to. And it is not the same GM every year. I also still see it on the shelves of the FLGS. To me it is still successful.

Shadowdark, clearly should be on that list.

There are a lot of games that should be on the list.

It appeared to have a quite a few tables at gencon. More than DCC. I'm also seeing it available in local cons/meetups.

The Avatar Discord server is busy. 2000+ currently online.
I haven't checked recently, but when I last went my library had... a couple copies of Pathfinder and some adventures for it, D&D (don't recall edition), Oz, and Coyote and Crow!

I don't recall the OP asking what makes a successful business RPG. That was your choice.IME business success is always going to be measured by sales and profits. Paizo actually topped WotC by making Pathfinder the #1 selling ttrpg in spring 2011, fall 2012, spring 2013, fall 2013, and summer 2014. So beating D&D is anything but impossible. You just have to make a game people want to play more than D&D. If Paizo can do it, almost anyone can
