Today, almost exactly two years to the day after its release, The Heroic Legendarium has officially become an Electrum bestseller at DriveThruRPG, which puts it among the top 13% of all paid products on the site. This has no practical meaning, but is still pretty neat for me, proving that the book found an audience and is continuing to sell at a pretty steady clip of a couple-three copies a week that hasn’t really slowed down at all in the past 20 months or so. It feels validating for something that was produced on literally $0 budget and has received no promotion whatsoever beyond customer word-of-mouth, and that I honestly thought might sell a couple dozen copies to my friends and family and then disappear into the ether.
If you’re one of the people who has purchased a copy (at DriveThruRPG or during the brief time it was available on Lulu) thank you very much. Your support means a lot to me. And if you’re one of those 227 people who has it on your wish list or in your shopping cart at DriveThruRPG, what are you waiting for?! Now is the perfect time to get on the bandwagon and become part of the in-crowd (and help me hit Gold)! 8)
Congratulations! Very well deserved. Your book shows great insight into AD&D 1e.
ReplyDeleteI can’t remember whether I purchased my hardcover on Lulu or DTRPG, but it’s a very nice work and a great 1E resource. Glad folks are still buying it!

Congratulations! It's a great book! To paraphrase my reflections upon first reading it, it's like we're in that parallel universe in which Gygax maintained control of TSR and I'm opening up Unearthed Arcana II.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Congratulations, your book is awesome, I use it all the time at my table. Lots and lots of good bits to use.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The book includes a lot of great stuff, and I'd certainly use parts of it if I were ever to run AD&D/OSRIC again.
