Publisher rankings based on RPGNow sales only. These figures are based on products found in the Top 100 (All Categories - All Time) chart at RPGNow.com. Each ranking product is scored inversely to its position in the chart (so, #1 scores 100 points, #100 scores 1 point).
This chart does not take into account sales made at stores other than RPGNow (e.g. DriveThru RPG, SV Games, White Wolf Store); notably it therefore does not include a score for Malhavoc Press.
The chart does not weigh non-electronic sales; it is a measure of e-Publishing presence, not RPG market dominance. It is interesting to see a couple of publishers in the list who probably wouldn't consider themselves to be e-Publishers (such as Mongoose or Privateer), reflecting high sales from a small number of electronic releases.
This chart assumes an even weighting distribution throughout the Top 100 chart.
This method of determining scores is far from scientific. Please use common sense when viewing them, and apply your own knowledge of the e-Publishing industry.
