This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Pathfinder sells as much as D&D through the hobby channel. Wow. :hatsoff:

Paizo sold a big book of crunch while WotC sold Dark Sun? I'm not surprised.

And there's still DDI to consider. Where would they rank if we added WotC's subscription monies into consideration? Each month they sell at least $5.95 worth of subscription goodies to a whole lotta people...

While I'm happy for both companys, I can't help notice that this is some of the worst reporting I have ever seen.

If this is the sort of caliber of said reporting that's acceptable for the site, I'm not be able to believe anything stated there, ever.


"This chart of the Top 5 Roleplaying Games (hobby channel) reflects sales in Q3 2010.  The charts are based on interviews with retailers, distributors, and manufacturers."


Without knowing which retailers, distributors and manufacturers were interviewed this can't be taken seriously.

And even if they had stated that information, we'd still need to know how they compiled the data before this could be taken seriously.
 
Seriously, you get better reporting from Fox news.

"The city so nice, they named it twice." And it took me a minute to figure out how it related to anything. Then I laughed at my stupidity.

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

I don't play any of those games.

I'm outside the "mainstream".

I may go drink myself to death now.

Is this barstool taken? Because neither do I.

Well, actually, I do play D&D. Just not "their" D&D. :D

I don't get the 3e love.   But I hope they are having fun.

I can understand why people would like 3E (there exists substantial good reasons to like it). However, any preference for Pathfinder is inexcusable.

Personally, I was very happy with 3e while playing it. I had complaints, of course, but that's true with any game. While playing it, I didn't want to find a brick and beat myself over the head because of the system. I had fun.

For me, that hasn't retroactively changed because there's a new system and I'm happy playing it.

Lower level play, from 1-10 or so, was awesome under 3e.  I had many years of fun with 3e.
