Recently the question was raised of which products are our best sellers. We decided it wouldn’t be fair to compare the sales of products that had been available for nearly 20 years with ones that were published more recently, so instead we used the years 2021-2024. (We realize 2024 isn’t quite over yet, but this is an informal survey, so it’s close enough.) In celebration of all this information, we are offering 10% off all our top-selling titles from now through Monday, January 6, 2025. And now, our best sellers, by genre or category:
In Fantasy, Bits of the Wilderness: Into the Wildwood beat out its competitors in a close count. Bits of the Wilderness products in general were the top items, selling (in broad terms) about 25% more than the Bits of Darkness, which was the second category, followed by City Descriptions.
In Modern, Halls of Horror has the lead but Against the Darkness was close behind.
In Future, Into the Future: Derelict Starships was closely followed by Destinations: Repair Statin 7-Osiris, which makes sense given that together they make up our popular Future Horror BUNDLE.
In Historical Fantasy, Celtic Age (and the related The Little People) had the edge, probably because that entire category is relatively new to Tabletop Adventures and those two products were the first. Despite a disadvantage of several months, though, Vlad the Impaler: Blood Prince of Wallachia was a close third.
In the Deck o’ Names category, the Anglo Saxon Places products were most popular, with the Anglo Saxon Places Generator having a slight lead over the Card Deck. This was somewhat of a surprise, because we were expecting the top items to be the Card Deck 1 and Generator 1, which produce general fantasy (or futuristic) names, but the customers have spoken.
In Free Products, the most popular item was The One Page Dungeon Codex Deluxe, 2009 – which is fair, because it’s a beautiful full-color book with some great content. We had nothing to do with the writing there, but were happy to assist the community in getting the book into a limited print run back in 2010. The runner-up was our fantasy-themed Weekly Planning Calendar.
Curious to know the best-selling Tabletop Adventures product of our first twenty years? We were, so we checked and found that Bits of the Wilderness: Into the Wildwood outdid the next competitor (which was our initial product, Bits of Darkness: Dungeons) by 120 sales.
Check out these popular titles, and augment your imagination with products from Tabletop Adventures.
The Lodestar Candle sends a bright light into the sky, to guide travelers to a destination, or perhaps to guide wanderers home. With a limited number of uses, this is an item that does not need to be unique in a GM’s world. (Perhaps a wizard creates them in different colors, for the signaling purposes of different groups.) Stats are provided for Pathfinder RPG 1st edition, but it could easily be used in a number of other systems. In addition the file includes a coupon code to use at DriveThruRPG for a 20% discount off any single purchase of Tabletop Adventures products through January 15, 2025.
