Sweet.  Steve doesn't hand out 5/5s very often.

So, I thought folks might be interested in a bit of unscientific data about the sales impact of having a game review on the front page of RPG.net. Ron has said a new review of one of his games at RPG.net is worth a "dozen orders a day." Well, I didn't quite get that, but there was definitely a sales spike.

Steve Darlington's great review of My Life with Master went up on the front page of RPG.net this past Monday, September 8th, and was replaced by some book reviews today, Wednesday the 10th. In that time, I sold five print copies and five of the pdf.

For comparative purposes, I sold three print copies and two of the pdf during the entire seven day period prior to Steve's review. So, roughly, the review on the front of RPG.net produced twice the sales volume in half the time.
