[QUOTE="rgard, post: 2406153, member: 4157"] We have a Star Wars campaign running and another customer is starting up a D&D campaign. To be honest, the Star Wars campaign hasn't really helped the RPG sales...it helped the minis sales (I sell the minis singly as well.) The minis (SW, D&D, WH, WH40k and Heroclix) make up 50% of my sales. MtG and Yu Gi Oh are about 20%. Board games (Risk Godstorm, Axis and Allies and the like) are 15%. The WotC D20 and Mongoose D20, Green Ronin products are 10% of the sales. I make sure I have at least two of every WotC product on the shelf with a decent selection of Mongoose and other D20 publishers. That leaves the remaining 5% to soda pop and non-WotC/Mongoose/Green Ronin rpgs. I have sold exactly 3 non-D20 books so far. One WoD book and 2 of the new Warhammmer Fantasy Roleplaying books. I'm not counting all the 40k codices and WH army books and lump them in with the minis sales (where they belong.) I didn't leave any major RPG system out of my original start up stock for the store. So I think I gave these a fair shot. The RPG stuff just doesn't sell as well as the rest of the items. I'm fairly confident that I will be selling off the non-D20 stuff in about 8 months (to avoid the aforemented tax on old stock.) As a resutlt I will be very leary of stocking any non-d20 rpg products. Thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
