Can't talk $$$ amounts yet, but here's a few numbers from the @plusoneexp.bsky.social @ Pax U. This is our hometown con, and we love it.
We know it's been a rough year, and I can't/won't generalize from this, but here's what we saw in our own sales.

I am thrilled to see that Designers & Dragons: Origins is in the black. @evilhat.bsky.social went out on a limb with an expensive full-color 4-book HC line, because I'm annoying and send a ton of books at once. And they paid $45k up front to produce the books, and *you* have made that work.

If we adjusted our games' prices for inflation—prices in this industry have a tendency to calcify at whatever their initial one was when originally released, so we generally don't—many titles would go up notably. Here's a spreadsheet where I run the (coarse) numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
