I do thinking going down to 7 digits of precision on this was being deliberately cheeky. I appreciate that it's giving us a rough idea of the player base at that time. It could be 2 or 10 million. Or even a bit outside that.

Does anyone know how the books returned by Random House are treated in these figures?

I suspect that we are over thinking the significance of the way they released Vecna to Dndbeyond. It seems much more of a throwing it against the wall and seeing what sticks approach. My supporting evidence: it's done by Ray Winninger who is a manager and doesn't usually do design it's not...

That's not how it was used in Australia in the 80s. Very derogatory and offensive.

Good faith. But I get the irony.

That makes sense. Thanks.

I've been meaning to ask, but what is a (+) thread? I haven't been able to figure it out.

I find this conversation unnecessarily binary. They are either pure 'good' or 'evil'. 1. As others have pointed out this is a game of magic and dragons. It does not have to be historically accurate. We could be playing King Arthur and the Round Table or some gritty roman noir. 2. Even so, I...

I don't think that I need to know all the character mechanics when I DM. I trust the players to know the characters and what they can do. Of course, I can question them if it seems a bit fishy and get them to provide the exact wording. It does help that I have some very experienced players who...

Does anyone know what the stock situation was during the LW period? Was she the sole owner? If not, who were the other owners?

It appears to be limited to 100 copies if I read it correctly. So 77 backers isn't to bad if they've done their maths right.

It seems to me that you are using the term "default setting" differently than I've seen it elsewhere. Usually, I've seen Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk described as the default setting for D&D with Third Imperium as the default setting for Traveller. You are invited to make up your own universe...

There is a whole Wikipedia article on defining science fiction. My favourite quote is: This whole thread is an example.

Traveller, Doctor Who, Star Trek, etc are really externally focused. It is not so much about the space ship that they are on. But, rather, the different worlds they visit each week and is similar to monster of the week type tropes. This would explain why it doesn't feel like it has a strong...

I would look at the D&D Basic Rules before the SRD. It is better presented to learning the game.

Cool! An Aboriginal character! It is nice to diversity outside the US context.
