[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7843723, member: 18"] I mean, you haven't even remotely proved that HotDQ is "popular with the broad D&D community", so you probably should chill out a bit here. HotDQ has clearly sold well and been popular on Amazon, but that doesn't mean the "broad D&D community" thinks it's awesome, or that it is broadly "liked". It means the subset of the D&D community who buys adventures on Amazon thinks it's decent. What percentage of "the broad D&D community" that is we have no idea, but it's not likely to be a large one. I notice on Amazon.co.uk it has 4.1 rating and is 15,271 in books, and 589 in hobbies & games. Curiously I note it has 4.3 in the US, and is 7358 in books, not the 4.5 and 5374 claimed upthread, which is a bit weird. Does Amazon show different things to different people? Those are good figures for a niche product, but what they hard prove is popularity with a specific subset of customers, not with the "broad D&D community". It's fine to reject suggestions that it's widely disliked or something in the "broad D&D community" - there is equally no proof for that. But claims either way are without real evidence. [/QUOTE]
