    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    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.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

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

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    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...

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    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

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    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.

    D&D 5E (2024) One Store's Sales (D&D 2014 & 2024)

    One big difference between 2014 and 2024 is thst in 2014, yhe Dtarter Set was the low cost entry: now that's the free rules on Beyond. Heroes of the Borderlands is a bit more premium.

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    It is curious to consider alternate historys for early 5E design: what if they went a bit bigger with those early splats, or published the Elemental Ecil Player's Guide that was technically never canceled, or put the Arrificer and Mystic in Xanathar's along with mass combat rules...would 5E have...

    D&D 5E (2024) One Store's Sales (D&D 2014 & 2024)

    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.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

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

    How much is that wirh inflation...?

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    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.

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Fill Out a Treasure Hoard

    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...
