That's why I provided the breakdown of what types of products I was counting.2018 and 2019 are actually tied for the highest number of 5e products (so far).[SPOILER="2018/2019 releases"]2018 hardcovers (4): Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica2018 other products (7): Dungeon Tiles: Reincarnated - City, Dungeon Tiles: Reincarnated - Dungeon, Dungeon Tiles: Reincarnated - Wilderness, Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica: Dice, Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica: Maps and Miscellany, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist - Dice, Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Maps and Miscellany2019 hardcovers (5): Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, Tyranny of Dragons, Acquisitions Incorporated, Eberron: Rising from the Last War2019 boxed sets (3): Stranger Things Starter Set, Essentials Kit, D&D vs. Rick and Morty2019 other products (3): Tactical Maps: Reincarnated, Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus - Dice and Miscellany, Sapphire Anniversary Dice Set[/SPOILER]However, WotC also released six Endless Quest books in those two years (4 in 2018, 2 in 2019). Even though I didn't include those in the count, they were enough to persuade me to consider 2018 as the peak to date, at least in terms of the number of products.I figured I'd explain this if someone asked <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Also agreed. Counting the total number of products isn't the ideal way to measure output, it is just one (fairly easy) way. In terms of page count (ignoring board games and accessories and those Endless Quest books), the totals look like this:2018: 10562019: 16242020: 13242021: 11802022: 12422023: 1280But even this isn't a perfect comparison. The count for 2019 includes 224 pages of recycled material in Tyranny of Dragons and 344 pages of partly reprinted content in the Stranger Things, Rick & Morty and Essentials boxed sets. 2020 includes 252 pages of reprinted content in Curse of Strahd Revamped. 2022 includes Monsters of the Multiverse and the revised Starter Set which both have recycled content. 2023 includes The Practically Complete Guide to Dragons which is also reprinted content.</blockquote>
