I can only speak for myself, but I am not the least bit interested in that planar hopping tier 4 style or the power level at that point

most groups do not even get to 13th level, so it is not the lack of adventure support that makes them not get to 14 and higher

I don’t know, what one considers cool content varies quite a bit, and at high levels especially imo. Also, at that time characters are so powerful that challenging them will be difficult, and cakewalks are not cool, no matter what location they take place in. D&D should just stop at level 10 or...

yeah, don’t like the power creep and the ever more high fantasy / nothing has consequences or downsides vibe. As for the monsters, I am glad they punch a little harder, I hate that they still use spell references, and even moreso than the MotM ones. That is a step backward in my book. Overall I...

kinda very debatable, on some things it went backwards rather than forwards relative to the books in between, whether you consider this a ‘best of’ or ‘dropping the ball’ is in the eye of the beholder, I certainly see some of it as the latter at least

I’d be fine with iteration if one iteration didn’t take 10 years and actually got us somewhere. As it stands that means we never really get anywhere. What’s worse, I don’t think this iteration is overall any better than the 10 years old one. They fixed some things, they broke some things, and...

Yawning Portal: 14 Saltmarsh: 11 Infinite Staircase: 13

in terms of high level selling worse, absolutely

no, it’s not 10M PHB 2014, but 6-7M is in line with the around 1.6M that Bookscan is aware of. The factor of 10+ is for the 2024 books, not 2014

don’t think I ever read that, I certainly do not recall it. Are you confusing this with what happened between Raistlin and Fistandantilus?

not sure what is ironic about it. You take the estimate you arrived at and divide it by the Bookscan numbers, that is how you get to the factor of 4 or 5. It is not based on the Bookscan numbers but it shows how far off they are…...

I just explained it, he made a video about how bad 2024 is selling because it only sold 3k copies in its first month (according to Bookscan). That number is so obviously wrong that him making a whole video just regurgitating it as a fact to me shows that he has zero critical thinking skills...

Teos has a guy who has been doing this for years now, so they are used to looking into Hasbro figures and refined their approach. I do not trust Glicker at all after his Bookscan stunt. Someone who reports blatantly obvious nonsense like the PHB selling 3k copies in its first month lacks basic...

Hasbro does not break out D&D figures, sometime they say it grew by x%, but that is about it, so you will have to do some math to get to a somewhat reliable range. I’d go with Teos’ conclusions over Glicker’s Fastest selling when you count the first n months, probably (?) not fastest selling...

your answer is in my quote, so I could not quote it “Yes, he mentioned the 100K and that came from Bookscan, However, at one point he mentioned that, unlike with 2014, Bookscan's figures for 2024 are unreliable” they are also unreliable for 2014, they are probably off by a factor of 4 or 5...

so where is the 100k from then? they pretty much always do that, Hasbro does not like to share meaningful information not gonna watch the guy, do you have a summary of his analysis? Teos Abadia usually dives into these quarterly reports to figure out D&D sales. There was some podcast recently...

to figure out D&D sales numbers it is literally useless, I might as well guess them myself, I at least have a chance to get close, Bookscan does not. If you want to compare PHB24 to DMG24 ratio maybe it can work for that, not even sure about that

yes, the guy has no idea what he is talking about, Bookscan numbers are useless for D&D sales

I think I recently heard on a podcast that Kelsey sold 50k print copies of it

I am glad nothing is over level 13, lower levels get a lot more use out of these small scenarios
