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

Oh, yeah. I’m not saying it’s 100% Mike’s shoutout. Only that he did give rather glowing reviews to both yesterday.

I'm personally not sure why they get excoriated so much. I do get some of the individual issues but overall? I dunno.

Release day for Planescape and it's currently the second best selling D&D book! After the PHB. At $60, a big discount already, ranked 225.

What do mean by a big discount? It has been $59 for pre-order on Amazon for a while. I just bought the alt-cover today at my FLGs for about that cost too.

Not that its a new discount. It's 31% off retail. Yea I don't disagree it's been that way for a while.

Interesting. That is about what I paid at my FLGS

Interesting to see where Phandelver is at I think back to back releases hurt this books sales. Just a conjecture.

I noticed the amount of hype between the two products were very different. WotC only released a few videos for Shattered Obelisk compared to the many Planescape related videos some featuring special guests.

I think Phandelver is pretty solid (Lost Mines is a stone cold Classic, and the expansion Dungeons are wild), but yeah, a bit more of a sedate product offering.

Yea. I wonder how different it might have been if there was more time between the two.

Next few weeks or so and we’ll know better, sort of.

OK Planescape is #500 at $60 and is still the second only to the PHB now at #221 at $26.

The Deck of Many Things in preorder is at nearly #6000 in Toys and Games at $99.

I think WotC will definitely learn their lesson about the slipcase format...

For the curious, Planescape made #129 on the October 25th USA Today's Best-Selling Books list (for sales from Monday the 15th through Sunday the 22nd), the first D&D release to make the weekly 150 best-sellers list this year.
