[QUOTE="Greylock, post: 4519367, member: 19056"] Everyone keeps saying that 4E is a sales success... I don't see it. I just don't. The bookstores in my area, from mom and pop comic/rpg shops to major retailers like Borders and Barnes & Noble seem to be letting D&D vanish from the shelves. I see beat up cardboard shippers with the same five or so books in them for months at a time. I see the books sitting well browsed and mostly unsold while White Wolf and video game books refill what space is left when books are sold or returned. My local Borders, for instance, had two four foot sections of RPGs, four shelves high, last year. Now it's two shelves period, half full and buried. The comic shops that heavily supported RPGs barely even bother to order new releases now. All publishers seem to have suffered from the 4E back catalog wipe even if they weren't 3.x D&D. I'm seeing this all over my city, and all my friends are concerned about it as well. No retailers here seem to give a damn about RPGs anymore. [/QUOTE]
