I crit!
I have my Darksun novels sitting in the bookshelf right next to me now. Just took them out again, may read them.
Actual! Dark Sun novel! Sales numbers!
TSR alumni are cultural treasures and gaming icons. One point that a lot of TSR alumni have been making on my posts is that while setting sales and core sales were down, novel and adventure sales made up for those losses.
Did they?
I don’t have a lot of novel and adventure sales, but I have everything for Dark Sun. So let’s look at those numbers and see the tale they tell.
While in the early 1990s, Dark Sun novel sales were quite healthy, they fell and then collapsed in the mid-to-late 90s. More novels were returned than sold in ‘98 and ‘99.
Check my feed tomorrow, because we’ll take a look at Dark Sun adventure sales!
My book on D&D history, Slaying the Dragon: A Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons is out today! If you find me interesting, go to a bookstore and buy it! Link in the comments.
Also, as always, actual data is below.
