But if you want to do the research to get a better context, I would suggest doing the following-Find out where you would get full information on the Gamer's Choice Awards (hint - TSR had another magazine).What was the difference between the Origin Award and the "Gamers' Choice Awards."Why did Dragon cover the Gamer's Choice Awards in 1989 ... and so weirdly? Would it have something to do with why Dragon covered it in 1988? And why would they have covered the Origin Awards in 1988 (which is what led to the 1989 coverage).Bonus context issue- why would Dragon specifically not normally cover the Origin Awards? And was anything going on with Dragon in the mid- and late-80s that further explains this shift?I'm not trying to be pedantic, but given that you are explaining to me that I do not understand the context of how things were at the time, I am clearly not appreciating being lectured to. If you enjoy WG7, great. If you want to say that you liked it at the time, great. If you want to say that there were others that did as well, great. But don't tell me how I, and many others, received it when it was published; I was there, and I still remember it, and that feeling was shared by a lot of people- I know, because I talked to them. And I knew a lot of people. Now, if you want to produce contemporaneous accounts by sources that aren't from TSR's publicity organs, I'll be happy to review them. I always love historical source documents. As far as sales go, I do not believe that there is any source for sales. Alzrius provided the sales that Ben Riggs did here-[EMBED content="thread-700406"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/master-list-of-benn-riggs-d-d-charts-and-graphs.700406/[/EMBED]But as you can see, there isn't a breakout of modules. In addition, sales wouldn't be a good barometer of reception- a lot of the sales (for example, to me) were the reason that the module was so widely reviled; people that bought it and hated it.</blockquote>
