Print run size and pdf sales/Kickstarter data. Over 100,000 copies of the 3e Basic Set were printed and 3e books used to be printed in 10,000 and 5,000 copy lots. PDFs and Kickstarters appear to be stuck at under 1000, maybe 2000.

DtG is, quite frankly, an amazing product, and I'd love to see the same approach applied to other genres. It takes the complexity of character generation and simplifies it to something more akin to the "Pointless Slaying and Looting" concept Kromm published in Pyramid a few years back, but all the components are still there so you can easily modify it and add back on whatever complexity you need.

SJG staff have hinted that sales of GURPS products are low and in decline or barely stable. "Sales" have very little connection with "players" (most RPG products I own I never played or ran) but are obviously what they are best equipped to measure!

But otherwise it's just mocking European fantasy and shoehorned 'social commentary'. Basically selling out European folklore to have it dragged through the mud for a cheap laugh. He also watched a friend of him (if he actually had the concept of friend in his bones) get euthanized in a somewhat celebratory way, but himself just lived out his days despite his own uncurable disease also.

Half my group lives by the saying "I don't see why we have to use a new edition, all my [old edition] books are still perfectly fine." 5e would have to be pretty innovative to overcome old player editionitis and the "GURPS IS MATH" stigma that's falsely risen over the last half century of gaming. |

Some of this must be that distributors bought books when they had these large print runs, and people would end up actually buying the book at a retailer years later.
