Had 10 to 12 releases from RPGObjects and Vigilance Press in 2009.
Here's a link to all the stuff I've done
Total Numbers
Combined sales numbers of all copies sold of all pdfs in 2009 = approximately 400
Top Sellers: A series of WW2 themed short pdfs that were written by Charles Rice that I adapted to Mutants and Masterminds (from RPGObjects in-house system Modern20) were the best sellers
M&M: Pearl Harbor December 31
M&M: Super-spies and Commandos of WW2 32
M&M: The Crown Guard 58
M&M: The Eugenics Brigade 42
M&M: Vigilance Force 39
Another top seller was The Ice Palace - which took the Nazi Antarctic base map from Defcon and sold it seperately. This moved ~ 60 copies.
These were all inexpensive pdfs and they focused on WW2 -- always a popular era among supers gamers.
Middling
After moving to RPGObjects from Adamant, Defcon sold 28 copies. Given that it had already moved ~70 while an Adamant product, this is something of note. Also - we cut the price in half and sold it for 5 bucks.
Wargames 1 moved ~20 copies in just the last two weeks December of 2009. While that's a moderate number - for two weeks of sales for an M+M Superlink product, that's a very nice number.
Disappointments
Soldiers and Spellfighters moved around 20 copies in 2009. We released 4 supplements from late 2008 and into mid 2009 to support S+SF. They all had moderate numbers for short pdfs (they're all hovering around or slightly above the 20 copies mark). Frankly - we were hoping for better.

Something to keep in mind about Wargames is that it not only moved 20 copies in 2 weeks, it did it in the two weeks before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat is NOT a time when people are buying electrons, by and large, so this is a very good thing.
