Probably! I see Daggerheart is #6 in the D&D game currently...it really feels like Amazon is using LLM to catagorize things now, these are messy.

D&D game on Amazon seems to mean TTRPG, which frankly is kind of what the common vernacular is

I bet if the DMG and MM were ranked they’d be 2 and 3. By a lot a lot.

It is on Amazon Germany under the Category "Role Playing" but HasbroWotC is literally the only publisher selling german rpg books on Amazon. Also it seems to compete with crossword puzzles, party games for kids and the wizard card game of all things.

DSA5 (The Dark Eye 5th Edition) is at Rank 75 buried under a bunch of litRPG slop.

Which a LLM would do.

Amazon Canada has the sales ranking for the PHB as 391 in books, DMG as 1054 in books. MM is sold out so its ranking is way lower since it has no sales as of late. As far as rankings in fantasy books, they are 1 and 2 and the surprising 3rd place is a litadventure…interesting top 10 for Amazon Canada with CoS at 8th.

Same in France, in the "jeu de rôle" category. Spots #1, #2 and #3 (and #9, #16, #18 and #19), among some "escape game books" and a bunch of litRPG. Fabula Ultima takes the #24 spot, #21 is DCC's Dying Earth 10. Spot 19 is Rime of the Frost Maiden, not even translated in French.

You know how RPGs and Video Games were once Vehicles to play out Stories people saw in Literature and Film?

Well LitRPG and litadventure is literature designed to emulate adventures seen and experienced in RPGs and Video Games.
