From what I understand Gamma world sales counts towards D&D sales, I find it odd it is not the same for Green Ronin with M&M and Dragon age.

Gamma World is part of the D&D line. It says so on the box, it's called "D&D Gamma World Roleplaying Game", and its rules are obviously a subset of D&D. DC Adventures is the same, using the M&M rules ("a complete super-hero RPG based on the award-winning Mutants & Masterminds system"). Dragon Age is its own game with its own system. DH, RT & DW are all games in the 40k system/line. Nothing odd about it.

Shouldn't that Q4 report be out by now? I've been keeping an eye out for it, but haven't seen it yet. :P

Aldo, I just wanted to share a post that I added to my own FLGS's (Endgame in Oakland, CA) forum earlier today:

I just wanted to thank you guys for participating in Free RPG Day, and for the way you handled it. Looking around the web at different forums, I see where a lot of people were disappointed by the choices, disappointed they got nothing, laughing that they walked away with 3 of everything, and so on.

I got there at 10am, second one in. Your "2 per person" rule was great, because even as I left a little after 11, there were still plenty of choices there, even the WotC stuff. I grabbed that and the Traveller quick start. And then proceeded to spend about $100!

4E has dragged me back into the hobby bigtime, and Free RPG Day dragged me back into your store for the first time in years. It won't be the last! I know it costs you something to participate, so I just wanted to say thanks! I intend to be around and participating a lot more now!

BTW, I think the Kobold King supplement was as popular as the WotC contributions! When I left, it looked like the event had helped draw quite a crowd. Thanks from this 40-something gamer to everyone who participated and contributed!
