Nope. The only part of the metaplot that was even hinted at or included in the adventures were the death of Kalak, Tyr becoming a free city and the following war with Urik. The rest of the stuff happened well off camera and didn't have a direct impact on the Tablelands until much much later...

Brom won't do it. Baxa? Maaaaybe. I think the only setting WotC did where they had one of the original writers/artists involved was Planescape and that setting's main artist, Tony D. Maybe Eberron was as well. If you want to know what WotC would do to Dark Sun, take the 4e Dark Sun books...

That's completely untrue. The metaplot adventures were limited to "Freedom" and "Road to Urik". I believe there was one small adventure in "Beyond the Prism Pentad" that was also metaplot related. The rest of them, and there were a lot, were not related to the metaplot whatsoever.

Quite a few and quite a few.

Ummm what? Dark Sun had a ton of products/adventures for 2e. Athas.org (official fan site) carried it through to 3.5e and is actively working on edition flexible products to this day. They even run their own Dark Sun convention now, Athascon. Even the 4e version had a lot of support in the...

lol, I've got about 15 RPG's where that exact thing happened to me, and here they sit on my bookshelf, just waiting for a chance to get played with one day.

It looks like it's just the plot to Stephen King's "IT" but in a fantasy themed game.

I got the boxed set for Nimble. Amazing game, and I'm planning on using it for any 5e adventures my group wants to play.

Money. Books are expensive to make and the margins are low. Digital products are way cheaper to produce and the logistics are far cheaper to manage. The 2024 core rulebooks sold way more digital product than physical product. Plus Dan Ayoub pushing the digital/AI direction.

All of the books released this year were planned a while ago. The two Forgotten Realms books are a least 2 years old in their inception. Next year going forward I'm anticipating the push will be on the digital side more. I'd be surprised to see many physical books released in the coming years.

The psion, while an important class in Dark Sun, was something found in many campaign settings. They were quite prevalent in Eberron for example. My guess is that WotC aren't doing any more setting books. These 2 Forgotten Realms ones were only pushed out because they were originally going to...

Do we? From my memory we have 1 unearthed arcana article on "apocalypse subclasses". If that is your evidence then you may not want to hold your breath that long.

I was more referring to the calling 5e an OSR product being nonsense.

Lol, you must be joking.

Riiiiight, because WotC is extremely trustworthy and would never mislead anyone :rolleyes:

Those are assumptions. I'm looking for actual sales data. As noted earlier, Amazon books are already included in Bookscan.

That was exactly what RfC was using Bookscan for in their video. So unless there were hundreds of thousands of copies of the 2024 core books sold in digital format, the "strongest start ever" quote sounds more like creative word play rather than concrete sales.

BookScan includes print book sales from Amazon, along with sales from major chains and many independent bookstores. However, it does not track ebooks, which are handled separately. BookScan also has limitations, as it doesn't include sales from all outlets, such as certain big-box stores...
