[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9796161, member: 59816"] At some point, I promised to share my FLGS's D&D sales from July 2014 to October 2025, for those that like to look at lists. Obviously, very little (though perhaps not as little as some might think) can be told about the overall sales of D&D based on only one tiny little game store in a Canadian Suburb, when compared to Worldwide Sales. BUT... I have found over the 32 years that I've been in business, that my store is often very representative of the "Average". Take that for what you will.
