[QUOTE="Fiery James, post: 1460865, member: 625"] Congratulations! Selling out on 2,000 units is a huge accomplishment, especially with the market like it is. Answering comments above, 1 unit does equal 1 book. If 20,000 units (books) seems small, you'd probably scream if you saw how little most d20 companies are actually selling. There are very few break-out products that will move more than 10,000 units (I'm talking non-WotC, of course). The biggest lines can likely do it (Mutants and Masterminds, etc), but most companies must be happy with anywhere from 500-2000 units total in this market. Just to throw this out there: Plague of Dreams was an introductory adventure that came out at the same time as Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed -- and was co-written by Monte himself. We haven't sold 2,000 units of that. Sometimes people ask us why we stopped publishing adventures (for the time being) and focused on counter products -- simple answer: the Counters sold WAY MORE than the adventures. Creature Collection sold well over 20,000. (Well over 50,000 is a good guess too!) If it came out today, it would probably sell 10,000 or so, as a guess. Just some things to think about. - JB [/QUOTE]
