Adventures are both DM-targeted and clearly optional. That hurts their sales as individual products, but also means that no matter how many are published, they don't hurt new player recruitment. And, as DM assistance, they may well help transition players into DMs, which also helps long-term...

The fact that you can sell lots of books of player options to your current playerbase looks attractive, but it kills future sales. Every book perceived as necessary for a new player to "play the game" is a barrier to new player recruitment (because it increases both the financial and learning...

Incidentally, I note it's entirely possible that WotC is lining up a replacement book trade distributor, like Ingram. There's still months to ink such a deal and have it in place for the 2024 corebook release.

Right, what you want is: 01-22 Carefully-constructed nest 23-37 Barren ice shelf 38-52 Rocky beach 53-71 Isolated iceberg 72-85 Cramped zoo exhibit 86-98 Abandoned Antarctic research station 99-00 Expensive mansion in Gotham City After all, it's a penguin random house.

I do wonder if the disappearance of D&D books from the USA Today bestseller lists (now that those have resumed) is related to this, either as a cause (Penguin Random House has changed its efforts, sales though the book channel declines, and as a result Wizards is ending its deal with them and...

Huh. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like any of the other distributors are in the book trade. Bookstore availability of D&D might well be impacted.

Well. The USA Today Booklist out today (covering the seven days ending September 24th) doesn't have Phandelver (released the 19th) listed. So, we still have the same "Have D&D new release sales gone down substantially since 2022, or is the rebooted USA Today Booklist doing something different...

So, the USA Today Booklist has been back for a couple months. Bigby's did not make the list, even on its release week (the August 23rd report of sales for the week through August 20th). Unfortunately, it's hard to tell if that means relatively poor sales for the book compared to previous D&D 5th...

Given an infinite plane, what's the actual need to have them on different layers? "Oh, sure, Olympus is on this same layer, just ten trillion parsecs to the southeast."
