    ICv2 Reports On RPGs Growth This Year

    The chart at the top of the thread is for Tabletop RPG, which is the context of what we are discussing. I would challenge you to find any retailer that sells tabletop RPG that doesn’t sell D&D5E. I know of several that only sell D&D5E. Do you think that is an extraordinarily weak situation for them?

    ICv2 Reports On RPGs Growth This Year

    Lol. Yes, I did. All your arguments are consisting of here is an assumption of authority on your part. You don’t have that. You are simply arguing with a definition and an explanation provided. In fact, this very site has already discussed the fact that D&D has a monopoly on the RPG market in...

    I’ve provided you with a definition from a cited source. You argued with it.

    ICv2 Reports On RPGs Growth This Year

    Put it this way, most retailers wouldn’t be selling any RPG right now without D&D establishing its market. Yes, it is a monopoly as defined.

    ICv2 Reports On RPGs Growth This Year

    "A monopoly is a market structure where a single seller or producer assumes a dominant position in an industry or a sector.” (Monopoly Definition) Seems like it to me. In the UK a firm is said to have monopoly power if it has more than 25% of the market share. I wouldn’t be surprised in D&D...

    ICv2 Reports On RPGs Growth This Year

    Looks pretty much like a monopoly to me. Not surprising that licenses such as Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Batman, all the licenses associated with Everyday Heroes and also Adventures in Rokugan are all heading the way of the 5E market. I honestly wonder what other game lines will follow...

    A Review of The Black Hand: Playing The Sabbat

    My counterpoint to the counterpoint, and also a counterpoint to this product, is that I thought it was a mistake to ever make the Sabbat a playable option way back in 1993! I much prefer them as a scary antagonist group, and feel that making them playable dilutes the notion of them being...

    Traveller Is 45 Years Old Today!

    Traveller is my favourite RPG to play. The Classic LBB Box set is exactly that, but Mongoose’s 2nd Edition Traveller is just perfect for me - in terms of accessibility, adaptability and presentation.

    D&D 5E (2014) Check Out the 13th Doctor's 5E Stats

    Although some fans will always naturally baulk at the idea of making a Doctor Who game based on D&D rules, this still looks very well crafted with thoughtful design. Whoever designed it should be commissioned to make the next Marvel Superhero rpg....

    D&D Movie/TV Here's The D&D Movie Trailer!

    Somebody tried to make a comparison to the Lord of the Rings movies, but in all frankness this is not the market for a D&D movie. Lord of the Rings was an independently driven arthouse trilogy of movies, based on a classic book of fantasy literature. It had to be authentic and it was an Oscar...
