[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 7723736, member: 40359"] That's what I get for going from memory. ;) Either way, he's a great addition to Paizo! Keep in mind that "shelf space at a couple local FLGS" isn't exactly solid data. Even if 5e is doing great, that could go either way for Paizo. On the one hand, they are competitors, so one can easily pull customers from the other. On the other hand, being the flagship brand in a niche industry, as D&D's sales boom, it lifts the entire industry up in bringing in more customers, not all of whom will stay with 5e. So 5e doing great could easily go either way, and the shelf space at a couple stores isn't going to inform us either way. Besides the anecdata of the shelf space at my local stores runs counter to that with Paizo products still well stocked and selling. I could just as easily assume that is evidence that Paizo is doing great! That's why just looking at a couple stores is pretty much useless, especially given other sales venues like Amazon and Paizo's own online store not to mention their heavy pushing of subscriptions (any of which I'd think is a safe bet are far more sales than all the FLGS sales combined - but that's just me thinking it's a safe bet, not actual data either, so make of that what you will.) ;) [/QUOTE]
