What are the top selling d20 titles?

[tleilaxu]

Does anyone have any semi-reliable sales figures for d20 products? I'm especially interested in comparing the PHB to the top selling non-wizards product out there....

 

[Crothian]

I imagine the PHB has outsold the best selling non wizards product about 10 to 1 if not more. That's baised off of more a feeling then any actual facts since I have no facts.

I would suspect that the PHB has outsold all d20 products taken together about 10 to 1 .

Edit: Does this answer the original question? Definitely no! But I really don't know the sales figures of d20 print products.

That's because no one releases them AFAIK.

The industry as a whole is usually quite tight lipped about sales.

Basically, the PH has sold in the neighborhood of 5 times a regular D&D product.

A regular D&D product sells about 8-10 times what a d20 product would sell. So, if WotC put out a product and sold 100,000 copies, a d20 company with good distribution and a company with some name recognition might sell 10,000 copies of the exact same book if they put it out instead.

i guess that's the price you pay for freedom monte!

how much of the stuff malhavoc has released would have even been considered by wizards? i think it is good that you went independent (at least for the rest of us!)

((of course i hold you ultimately responsible for the TPK (minus my character) we suffered in RTTTOEE))

 

[tleilaxu]

What if I polled the ENworld website? Not a bulletinboard poll, but one where people tick off all the RPG products they have bought and own? Send one in the email to everyone who has listed their address on Enworld.

I think that kind of survey might have some interesting info, not just for us consumers but for the industry as well.

Well, it would except for the fact that we are only a tiny subset of gamers. I'll bet we're the ones who spend the most money too. Heck, two of my players are too cheap to even buy the PH. It isn't because they can't afford it either.
