TTRPG sales data

is impossible to find, the best we have is 1) Crowdfunding campaigns that tell you how many people backed at what levels and 2) Drivethrurpg dividing products into sales bands. I have reliable information that the current #4 Top Seller in Physical Games on Itch.io is selling at around 2000 copies but that's the best I have for that.

now I don't care about this for like... competitive reasons, I don't cheer on movies for passing box office goals or anything like that, but ttrpgs are like a dozen distinct hobbies all bumping into each other's territories and getting surprised when they find out that someone else plays differently. If the data existed it could at least like... provide some indication of the shape things are from another perspective instead of the shape they look from where i am. I know i can't see the whole elephant but a satellite image would still be nice

Site update - Mahou Timeline

First few entries in the magical girl timeline are up! Most of it speaks for itself, but I find it interesting how it was VERY much a Toei brand thing for a few years there. Also better reception in Italy than expected, which explains Winx Club somewhat.

I think my ideal timeline format would let me do more with showing what's ongoing across different years, but I'm satisfied with what's here already.

Up next is probably either mecha timeline, filling out the freeware page, or pulling together the links page. I saw a "a website is like a model train set" analogy which... is starting to feel accurate hahahahaha.
