D&D 5E (2014) Amazon US book sales rank.

[EthanSental]

out of curiosity, I clicked the pathfinder game link and not sure what Amazon is thinking in this categorization as it’s not until 31st that a paizo or pathfinder related item makes the list and it’s the 1st edition core rulebook

Those Jeff ashworth related D&D books seems to be selling well…I’ll search the forums to see if anyone has feedback.

I’d have to check but I think the other Pathfinder books may not be ranked, so they don’t show up.

Also I think Paizo’s success model is sales of later books, ie a much slower new player acquisition of the core book and more, smaller sales but more items, of later books.

Also, it is possible that Paizo sales on Amazon may have been impacted by the Diamond bankruptcy, but who knows.

This seems extremely likely.

I’m curious, would Amazon be pulling from diamond stock/warehouses or their own stock/warehouses for sales on their Amazon site?

Maybe. WotC used to use a third party distributor for Amazon until they brought it in house with Hasbro Distribution

I think it was Glicker who said
1 - Paizo did use Diamond for distro to Amazon
2 - that most of the stock left in Diamond's creditors control is moldy or otherwise damaged

It was a two hour video, of course

Still show 4k+ sold the last month but up to 703 in book ranks.
