Glad to see Green Ronin having success...

Interesting that at one time WFRP was part of the WH40k group but now it's not. Congrats to the companies on the list.

Shadowrun is back in the mix again. Great!

I'm surprised/impressed with Dragon Age.

This is interesting, and we will have to see if some trends will continue.

Congratulations to everyone involved with the top 5 games in the survey for their hard work.

In light of a recent thread and out of respect for the moderators, I will ask that we be polite and respectful in this thread. We may like or dislike different games or gaming companies, but I think that what unites us is always more powerful than what divides us.

My question, which does not seem to be part of the data, is whether overall tabletop role playing games sales are up? There are many good games out there.

Dagger, good to see you here!

Me too...which, in turn, makes more surprised and less impressed that there's no Mass Effect game announced yet. Get on it, GR/BW!!

They mention that overall game sales in the hobby channel were up, but not as far up as last quarter. Perhaps they break out RPGs in particular in their "Internal Correspondence" report, which we don't have.

I'm surprised that it's been in the chart two quarters running. It's not as if it's a new game, and the sales aren't being boosted by the release of new material - although hopefully Set 2 will do well now it's out.

I suppose that makes me second in the queue for that game. I'll go and do some calibrations while we wait.

Same here.

Even more surprised it didn't get any Ennie nominations. Wasn't it entered or was it ineligible for some reason?
