[QUOTE="TerraDave, post: 7654287, member: 22260"] We are at the 2 month point for the thread, lets see where things stand with the [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Fantasy-Gaming/zgbs/books/16211/ref=zg_bs_unv_b_3_16215_1"]top books in fantasy gaming[/URL]: #1 MM 24 overall, 16 in new releases, 25/28 5 star reviews #2 PHB 39 overall, 28 most wished for, 269/334 5 star reviews #3 Starter Set 302 overall (released July 15) # 4 DMG 311 overall, 83 in new releases #6 HotDQ 663 overall Still pretty strong. The starter set is going on 3 months. Compared to, say, the 4E red box, well, there is no comparing, with the 5E ranking much much higher. (Same for PFBB, though , as we know, that is going to be less amazon dependent). One interesting comparison is [URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20080612090503/http://www.amazon.com/Keep-Shadowfell-Dungeons-Dragons-Adventure/dp/0786948507"]Keep on the Shadowfell[/URL]. This actually did pretty well in its first month, when it was the only product available to play 4E. Sales rank went from 152 to 183, so comparable to the 5E starter set. (and better then HotDQ). Unfortunately we do not have any other sample until Oct, when it plummets down to 9000 or so. And its early reviews, well those were also a little different than the ones for the starter set, or any 5E product. OK, that’s probably the last of these I do for a while, but I will probably do an update at some point. [/QUOTE]
