Pathfinder clearly dominates the list with over half the entries. Dungeons & Dragon 4E still chugs along with a few entries, the best seller being Player's Handbooks, so it's far from out of the picture.

Magazines have made a comeback since the recession, and we now sell twice as many Kobold Quarterly and Knights of the Dinner Table than before. It's interesting that Kobold Quarterly is approaching the sales level of Dragon magazine from back in the day.

There are a couple Call of Cthulhu entries, a game that has gained a lot of traction with us lately. Traveller 2300AD would be much higher if the distributors weren't always out.

It's a fairly tame period in general for RPGs, especially when compared to the CCG  releases, any one of which would dwarf the entire RPG department several times over.

Here are the top 15 RPG companies in our store by sales. The number in this list is how they rank against other categories in the store (there are 146), not just RPGs:

6	Paizo Publishing
20	Wizards of the Coast
34	Chaosium
60	Catalyst
61	Mongoose
62	Evil Hat
70	Palladium
74	Open Design
75	IPR Titles
77	Margaret Weiss
78	Kenzer & Company
89	Fantasy Flight Games
95	Studio Two Publishing
107	Green Ronin
110	Hero Games

So our number one RPG company, Paizo, ranks sixth overall in the store, while Dungeons & Dragons, once a top five company for us, now ranks 20th. Again, just one month; just one store.
