[QUOTE="Alnag, post: 3486387, member: 10087"] Well, I have decided to make some search on Amazon Sales Rank of different RPGs. I know that the Rank changes a lot and it is not the best possible approach, but still it can provide some information about the industry I think. Feel free to comment. I have run the RPGs I know using the most core rule book of each (PHB for DnD, Characters for GURPS etc.) SW Saga Edition (#1,609) WotC (launching, for comparison only) 1. D&D 3.5e PHB (#3,392) WotC 2. D20 Modern (#8,196) WotC 3. Shadowrun 4e (#11,680) Fanpro 4. Mutants and Masterminds (#20,823) GR 5. Exalted (#25,004) WW 6. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (#49,097) GR 7.
