Yeah, I would not even be interested in a PDF, if it isn't in print no dice. But the price seems fair enough for the content, format issues aside. Adjusted for inflation, TSR 32 page books were about $28-31 now.

I think anyone can smash anything they want...but WotC combining Dragonlance and Dark Sun is fairly unlikely.

Having done the comparative math on the physical versus digital prices for other books, $14.99 suggests that this would retail for ~$25 as a physical book...which h is fair for the contents. I am not saying you should personally buy it, but the market rate is not unfair when compared to...

I believe he means the Xanathar's Guide version that was rejected (still up on DMsGuild last I checked) versus the Rising from the Last War/Tasha version

I mean, the surveys would provide garbage info on balance issues. Vibe checking, however...

Right, they are scaling digital releas a percentage of their print MSRP.

I'd say it more shows the questionable viability of short D&D products.

OK, so the climactic "Hoard of fhe Dragon Queen" at the midway point, for Level 9 or ao, in dudes (first) getting one's own thing castle from a Cloud Giant, but also: 500,000 CP 100,000 SP 5,000 GP 800 PP 21 small blue sapphires worth 300 GP each a potion of gaseous form +1 Longdword +1...

That's always been thw trouble for anu company producing TRPG material: we don't need much to play for years, and we can share books and ideas easily.

$20.84, adjusted for inflation. TSR 32 page modules are over $30 adjusted.

How much is that wirh inflation...?

Book prices aren't linear, they are based on folio of 16 or 32 pages, and become increasingly price efficient at higher page counts. A hardcopy would probably be $29.99 for 32 pages. Not something I would pay for, maybe, but $14.99 for a digital copy of 32 pages is market appropriate.

From the Level 15 hoard at the end, Read-aloud text verbatim, ellipses are in-text: "You see gold - mountains of it. And jewels...and pearls...silver plates and gilded mirrors...jewled swords and the armor of kings...caskets and boxes and barrels filled to overflowing with the treasure of the...
