<p>It's kind of hard to get all of that discussion back into my brain, but I •think• that the solution we'd come up with just prior to Core may do the trick. That's the addition of this sentence to Check to See Whether the Villain Escapes: “If you fail to defeat a villain at a closed location while all other locations are closed, open a random other location and shuffle the villain into it.” (I believe this is now needed only when using certain older locations under the Conversion Guide, so this sentence would be added only to that guide.)</p>
<p>We didn't finish vetting that solution before it fell to the Core/Curse solution, though. The question is, are there any locations that break if they're reopened, or if they're permanently closed twice during the same scenario? And if there are, are they used in any scenarios that also have permanently closed locations? </p>
<p>(By the way, letting the villain escape back to the location it came from isn't viable because there's at least one situation where that can result in an unwinnable scenario.)</p>We've worked on this several times over the years.

<p>The "best" source is probably ICv2's quarterly market report and rankings, the most recent of which is <a href="https://icv2.com/articles/icv2-pro/view/44845/roleplaying-games-market-report-top-brands-chart-summer-2019" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but a ICv2 pro subscription is now required to read it.

<p>However, there are many issues with that info that makes it less useful than you'd probably like.</p>
<p>First, it's compiled from "interviews with retailers, distributors, and manufacturers," which <i>may</i> include some hard data, but I believe is mostly anecdotal.</p>
<p>Second, there are issues inherent to each of those three sources:
<br />
• Many retailers in our industry don't have POS or inventory systems that allow them to provide hard data, so you're going to get a lot of "gut" responses; further, some of them may have personal interests that cause them to downplay or exaggerate the value of some publishers. And even if they did get good data, I have no clue if their sources represent a statistically significant sample.
<br />
• Distributors most likely have good data on the portion of the market they handle, but many sales don't pass through these distributors—certainly, none of Paizo's direct sales do, and I suspect that most of Wizards' Amazon sales don't. And again, no clue if their sources represent a statistically significant sample.
<br />
• Many publishers (including Paizo) don't share our sales figures.</p>
<p>Third, there are no actual dollar or unit sales figures involved here, just a relative ranking. So even if they are correct about who's #1 and who's #5, there's no indication of how close or how far those companies are. (They do offer annual estimates of the entire market size; for the reasons above, my personal confidence in those numbers is very low.)</p>Tarondor wrote:Vic, do you have a suggestion for where interested fans could seek out more complete information?

You could argue Amazon, but P2 has done well on it also.
Amazon isn't a game distributor. A distributor is an intermediate company that buys from publishers and sells to retailers. Amazon is a retailer, who buys from a distributor; in the case of Paizo's products, that's mostly from Diamond Book Distributors (though for reasons I have never well understood, they also buy Paizo products from another distributor who...Vic Wertz (Chief Technical Officer)2020-01-29T03:02:27ZRe: Forums/Pathfinder Second Edition: General Discussion: Diamond Comic Distributors Top 100 Games 2019Vic Wertz (Chief Technical Officer)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs42wue?Diamond-Comic-Distributors-Top-100-Games-2019#52020-01-30T19:58:34Z2020-01-29T02:55:11Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">Justin Franklin wrote:</div><blockquote> Just to be clear Paizo almost exclusively uses Diamond for Distribution to game and book stores. </blockquote><p>This isn't accurate.

<p>So it is correct to say that we "almost exclusively use Diamond" for distribution to <i>bookstores</i>, but for game stores, it's not <i>at all</i> correct. We certainly do good business with DCD and Alliance, but we sell plenty through other hobby distributors too.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Justin Franklin wrote:</div><blockquote> So this isn't an across the industry sales totals, but definitely an interesting data point. </blockquote><p>That is correct—and judging from your comments, I think it may be even more correct than you realize.
<p>In order to understand the data presented in the original link, it's important to understand the distinction between Diamond Books, Diamond Comics, and Alliance Games:</p>
<p>• Diamond Book Distributors sells primarily to bookstores. That includes the few remaining large bookstore chains, small independent bookstores, and online bookstores, including amazon.com. In general, gaming is a pretty small part of these stores' business.</p>
<p>• Diamond Comic Distributors sells primarily to comic shops. In general, gaming is a small part of these stores' business (but it's likely to be bigger for them than it is for bookstores).</p>
<p>• Alliance Game Distributors sells primarily to game stores. In general, gaming is the majority of these stores' business.</p>
<p>The link above lists Diamond <b>Comic</b> Distributors' top games for 2019—not DBD's book trade sales, and not Alliance's game store sales. So it's just game sales into (mostly) comic shops. So while we're clearly doing very well with them, it is indeed a VERY narrow picture of the gaming marketplace.</p>Justin Franklin wrote:Just to be clear Paizo almost exclusively uses Diamond for Distribution to game and book stores.
