Very excited for this. BG1 and 2 are my favorite PC (and now iPad) adventure games, with NWN trailing slightly behind. This looks like a nice update to those, and DM mode sounds promising.

Not having read any of the D&D novels, where's a good place to start? Judging by the titles, many of those seem like part of a series. Are any starting a new series? Stand alone?

I should clarify a bit upon further inspection: they've done a *pretty good* job with their print style sheet. A few things should have been hidden/removed when printing (very easy to do), including: the search icon at the top, the social media buttons at the end, and all the remaining website...

As much as people like to bash the WotC website, they've done an excellent job with their print style sheet. Print the article as a PDF. Done. Comes out really nice.

Here's a good article from Publisher's Weekly that attempts to make (and justify) another best guess: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/bookselling/article/56284-how-many-copies-does-it-take-to-be-an-amazon-bestseller.html They used a Zelda book as an example. ;) They...

Yeah, definitely "best guess". Interesting how the best guess for those two sites are so different. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle. Regardless, as has been pointed out, being in or around the top 100 for this long is a very good sign no matter what.

Hmmmm...then I think we have a good candidate for an errata document, either re-classifying some items, or re-writing that sentence. I vote for the latter.

This. A Civil War era rifle is rare, but a common AK-47 is a lot more powerful.

More randomly sorted sets, so I'm out. Will buy exactly zero. May give some of these a try instead: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/elemental

According to NovelRank, which purportedly tracks both sales rank and actual sales volume on Amazon, the PHB has been as high as #1 overall in books, with an average of #127. http://www.novelrank.com/asin/0786965606 Here are the sales numbers (not ranks) by month since release: Aug: 5,402...

Looks like they've just recently slipped out of the top 100 (the PHB and DMG were there last I checked, which was 2 weeks ago...) Anyway, you can see the sales rank on each product page (not available in their mobile app that I could find, had to go to the actual website): * Player's Handbook...

Thanks for the tip. Supported.

WotC: "Looking back, we believe a heavy release schedule to be bad for the game, so with 5e we're going to have a lighter release schedule." Releases since July, 2014: (Not counting miniatures, spell cards, and other 3rd party adventures and books - see a complete list here...

But that's not what you said. No "good faith" necessary. You said "Now that the core is out..." So, since the core books have been released, there have been no product announcements. Which isn't true. Stop moving the goalposts.

Concentration isn't broken, so nothing to correct... * "We have every intention of releasing the books in electronic versions. But we don't have a date at this time." - Chris Perkins. True, they don't have them yet, but the 3rd of 3 core books was just released December 9th. That's 2 months...

But it hasn't been "over the course of a few hours". The core books have been in the top 100 of all books sold (ALL books, of any type) consistently for months. It's been sustained.

There's currently a chocolate shortage. I'm hoarding!

Our group as well. Perhaps we'll run into something at some point...but so far, no issues at all. Yet, listening to some, it's unplayable. Huh.

Some people will find anything to complain about, but that doesn't make it actually true.

Yeah, I liked it too...I should probably re-word that, but didn't want to be snide (per the warning earlier in the thread). How about "If you're not a new DM, know everything there is to know about DM-ing, and know there's no possible way you could learn anything new, the article is not for you...
