ICv2 Top 5 Roleplaying Games - Q4 2010

[Votan]

I'm really surprised at Dragon Age being up there. I'd figured the dearth of product releases for it would've doomed it well behind Warhammer or other games.

Perhaps the impending release of Dragon Age 2 (the computer game) gave it a boost in interest and drove some sales. It is not like there are a ton of obvious competitors and it is a pretty inexpensive set (nice production quality too) so that might not have hurt, either.

I do think the lack of the second boxed set is a serious concern for the future of the line (especially given the material it is supposed to cover).

Last I saw, set 2 is scheduled for May. Open playtest was last fall, which also might have generated some activity for Q4 sales of set 1.

Somehow, I have this feeling that if D&D were not in the 1st I wouldn't be posting in the second page of this thread but rather in the 22st -and this being a rather modest estimation.
Ahh, well...maybe next time

Of course that's true.

It's not news when the 800-lb gorilla again beats his chest.

It is news when someone smaller comes up and kicks it in the balls.
