[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 9155727, member: 59082"] I agree with your overall point -- it is obvious -- but am curious why you put 2018 as "peak 5E." First of all, I'm not sure what these "7 other products" are (dice sets?) or why they figure into your calculation. If anything, the make 5E's output seem larger than it actually is (i.e. removing the "other products" from each edition is more impactful to 5E...where 2E is reduced to 71, 5E is reduced to [I]4).[/I] Secondly, 2019 and beyond all had at least five big products - hardcovers and box sets. 2019 might be peak, because you have four hardcovers, Essentials, Tyranny, plus two starter sets. Or it could be 2022, with five hardcoves plus a box set, plus the DL battle game. This year is just a bit less. 2018, on the other hand, just had four hardcovers plus the "other products" which were rather forgettable. Production ramped up a bit in 2019; 2020 saw a slight dip due to covid, but then it bounced back to "Five Plus" from 2021 on. So I'd say "peak 5E" really started in 2019. Just a quibble, though.
