I know I do this all too infrequently, but I really must try and post more as I think it's a useful datapoint for would-be publishers.
I think Q1 2008 has been a fairly lowpoint in terms of sales, shifting about half the usual number of copies of Dead of Night via IPR. I don't think it's a coincedence that Q4 2007 and Q1 2008 coincide with a decreased involvement by me online or at conventions all round, so I haven't been posting actual plays or commenting on threads about DoN anywhere near enough.
Another possible reason is that DoN has been out for nearly 4 years now, which is a fair age for any game. Certainly dipping sales figures and a nearly total stock depletion worldwide is making me think more and more about revising the game in some way. I'll start another thread about the merits and drawbacks of such a plan later.

...you might find you've an untapped market at OBS. Probably have to redo the layout though... or maybe 2 pages to view would work.
