There aren't too many consumer items where sales figures are shared. Sales figures are for publicly traded companies.

There's one of these already Draw Steel General Thread [+]

Yeah, Amazon says it ships within 1 to 2 months, so that certainly correlates to availability.

No one can take down D&D. Not even Hasbro, no matter how hard they try :D

This is my thought when I see "X RPG is dead!" Did someone come to your house and light your books on fire? lol

It has been restocked, once in the US and once recently in EU. I can only go by anecdotal stories from the two game store owners I know. One said he got more stock on it than he does with most of the non-dnd/pf rpgs and it sold out pretty quickly. The other one got a couple copies, not thinking...

Coincidentally, the latest Void drop has a very Sigil-coded environment...makes me wonder if the new setting they are developing is a Planescape-like multiverse thing.

If you do want to see DH played in a more D&D-style, the Age of Umbra AP is pretty good. CR admitted to having die-hard old habits while playing the game. CR also likes their big terrain and mini sets, which is a bit more prep-heavy than DH suggests. But it does show that the game can be played...

That's an interesting take, I've never known a player that is disappointed without blood with every hit. It's still a game, they know hp were removed, requiring blood in the description seems arbitrary, as well as unrealistic (unless they're fighting a blood elemental or something). Personally...

I think it's game-dependent. It kind of follows the "What are hit points?" questions, and whether there are multiple types of hp tracks, whether your hp pool grows significantly as you gain skill, and how quickly said hp come back all are important to consider.

This is one of the reasons why I've moved to pdfs (that, and I don't want additional clutter).

I've heard that there are some groups that don't really care about views, they just know that being in an actual play means players show up more often :D

Not wrong there. Those are meant to be entertaining, and too many people newer to roleplaying look at it as a typical example of play.

Good question. I'm not really an AP watcher. I know Darrington Press have some one-shots for each of the non-Age of Umbra campaign frames, but those probably lean more into character silliness than gameplay mechanisms (anyone that knows better, please correct me).

I'd imagine it would have no cards, with pre-built PCs...which kind of goes against DH's play philosophy. But, then again, they are making a complete setting and an adventure path style campaign, so that might not matter...

Starter sets? I didn't know that was a thing...or were they core sets?

Not saying anyone is doing anything wrong here, necessarily, but personally speaking, when I'm ambivalent about something, I tend to ignore it...

It was bad timing for me. My last campaign took place in the Northlands and by the end, I was like, I am very much done with snow and vikings...then they announced this a month later lol

I can imagine. The idea of finding rules in the book using Kindle makes me cringe lol

I'm currently playing DH, ToV, and Marvel Multiverse. DH and Marvel don't have skills, but ability checks that can be further modified. I find I like the ability checks better, it's not on me to decide to what skill applies, it's on the player to mention, "I'd like to use my bonus from X". Runs...
