This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Votan;595953I am pretty happy with the position that ICv2 has some real limitations as a data source.  That being said, I am unaware of a better option.
Why do we need this?

Usually it revolves around wanting to know whether or not D&D holds the top spot in the RPG market, the answer to which raises all sorts of other interesting questions. But then, surely you knew that?

Asking questions about the fictional game space and receiving feedback that directly guides the flow of play IS the game. - Exploderwizard

They seem to be not that much different from Comics & Games Retailer's collection of data.
From 2000-2005 I participated in their monthly "Market Beat" surveys.
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.
