[QUOTE="Mark Craddock, post: 9790861, member: 6883885"] I don't think digital sales of comics impacts me in any way. Based on the data that I've seen digital comic sales for Marvel & DC account for the footprint of the major comic store in the NYC market. Digital and RPGs & DnD are a different matter. I almost exclusively use PDFs & DND Beyond for all of my gaming. My best selling RPGs right now are Shadowdark & Daggerheart. The 2024 line is third. I'm working on ways to improve that but ordering direct from DnD Beyond with the print package is a good deal and I've just had to accept that right now WotC is my competitor. Sadly, no matter how hard their employees work you never know when Hasbro will make a hard turn and shut down whatever initiative they have invested in no matter how foolish. Just look at the OGL fiasco occurring on the eve of the most recent DnD movie and the sale of eOne before Transformers Rise of the Beasts. I should be clear this is all just how my market, between 2 stores in KY, is performing right now. I had hoped getting the exclusive cover would help continue our sales, we'll see how things develop. Something else that I think varies by market is how many players choose to remain with 2014 if not permanently then until they finish a campaign. Looking over my data the Monster Manual is my bestseller of the 3 core books since release and it is the one I am restocking the fastest. I think this also supports groups sticking with 2014 but wanted a different monster book at their table. [/QUOTE]
