Yep, you got it — the Evil Hat webstore sends us the most money per sale, as a publisher.

If I can’t pick up the game at a local retail store, I want to purchase it by the method that nets the most money for you and the other creators. I assume that’s the Evil Hat store?

I worked on Beast Hunters, Spirit of the Season, The Purifiers, and The Kerberos Club. Given the length of the list I’m not sure if I’m missing something else there. Honestly, I wanted to celebrate the whole thing rather than pointing at my individual influences in there.

I won’t be counting those numbers; from a sales perspective, free giveaway PDFs aren’t indicative of the public’s willingness to buy a particular product on that product’s merits alone.

Wandered over from Livejournal.

Are you going to count Spirit of the Season sales, or at least numbers, in the DriveThruRPG Donate-to-Doctors-Without-Borders-and-get-lots-of-PDF-goodness bundle?

I was kind of surprised when I saw it in there that you hadn’t blogged about it. I also saw Beast Hunters, which you worked on.

It’s a pretty sweet bundle – 3rd ed D&D, 4th ed D&D, a New World of Darkness product (or at least something Jess Hartley worked on), print-and-assemble paper terrain for fantasy and sci fi, mapping products, the Firefly/Serenity RPG, and all sorts of stuff I’d never heard of.

I’m really looking forward to the email that my download is ready.

We need to have a party when SotC sales cross 5K. Just sayin’.
