After all if their numbers are SKUed differantly it will thow off all demographic ( speaking for the oldest, farthest travelling native american woman at several Origins)However emulation of anothers standard of production isright on the money for what would have happened with the early Judges Guild if they could have matched TSR productio values with their own content values.. Who knows,The other factor in benchmarking is it allows for one to see a hole in the industry by watching waht others are doing and how thier product is recieved it allows for developemnt beyond the current offerings,Even you Louis are a benchmark tohow the indusrty is changing and growing to the media that is the web. I sold a lot of your magazines over the years at my stores and conventions thoughtout the midwest.The health of the industry I find to bench mark agains is the amount of Polyhedral dice that are imported by Koplow, Crystal Caste andChessex, For all gamers need dice to play and the amount of dice they have grows with the lenght of time they play.But I like to keep my benchmark/stalking list close to the vest and see how it develops. Ed and Phil are both great to set the bench mark for the up and comers, <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
