Both these figures have been steadily climbing since I checked them after they went to the online version of the Character Builder (see below).Assuming they are all paying a monthly/yearly fee then you are looking at a pretty significant revenue stream for D&D.Figures I actually checked.March 31, 2011 - Members of D&DI Group listed as 49673, if you checked the actual members list within the group it was 36143. (So a discrepancy of 13530).Aprill 11, 2011 - Members of D&DI Group listed as 50401, if you checked the actual members list within the group it was 36779. (So a discrepancy of 13622).Today 20 Dec 2011 -  Members of D&DI Group listed as 66148, if you checked the actual members list within the group it was 47149. (So a discrepancy of 18999).There is no telling how these figures relate to actual members, since the discrepancy seems to be getting larger I think the first number doesn't go down when people leave the subscription, but the second does. Still it maybe you don't appear in either count if you don't have a WotC forum account.Still what you can see is that both figures are going up however, and that they have at least 47,000 members at around $6 a month (some will be paying more) so you are looking at, at least $282,000 a month income from the D&DI.Not sure how that relates to book sales, however.</blockquote>
