That stuff is still flying off the shelves.At my FLGS they've been adding shelf space to the RPG products pretty steadily for the past couple years. When I first found them right after 3e came out they were a sleepy little store, with half a shelf of D&D products and a wall of shelves for all the other games (most of the store is devoted to minis). Now D&D has eaten up about a third of that wall, d20 products have a pair of additional shelves, new D&D and d20 products have a separate display right as you walk in, and all other RPGs have a small new release display. Obviously d20 has the lion's share of the space, and the best space at that, but those products turn over. If you see something you like, snatch it because it'll be gone next time. In comparison, the shelf of GURPS and the shelf of Deadlands (classic system) has remained static the entire time I've shopped there. By standard definitions, the GURPS material is a glut, because there is NO demand for it at this store, and obviously the supply has outstripped that. And now for something completely different.I just returned from a trip to CA, and when there I stop in at the Borders in town. I only go twice a year, so I really notice the changes. The RPG section has doubled, pushing graphic novels to a new location. While the selection will never beat my FLGS, I did see a number of d20 companies there. More surprisingly, there were endcap displays! Since the displays are right next to the search computer, a lot of Borders patrons see RPGs every day.The competition is pretty stiff and pretty abundant, but it looks like a good time to be in RPGs to me.PS</blockquote>
