Ways to get hold of War of the Burning Sky

[Morrus]

There are several ways you can get your hands on the War of the Burning Sky campaign saga. You should choose the method which fits your budget and schedule best!

Be careful you check which edition you're buying! WotBS is available for 3.5 and 4E, and the adventures are different in each edition.

1. Grab an EN World community supporter subscription. This costs $3 per month, and you'll get access to BOTH the 4E and 3.5 versions of the saga in PDF format with each being released on a roughly bi-monthly basis. Note that these releases lag behind the individual releases by a few months.
2. Buy them individually in PDF format. This is the quickest way to get them, but is more expensive than the EN World subscription. The adventures cost $6.99 each. There are currently all 12 adventures available for D&D 3.5, and the 4E versions are being released over the next year or so.
3. Buy them individually in softcover format. There are currently all 12 adventures available for D&D 3.5, and the 4E versions are being released over the next year or so.
4. For D&D 3.5 only, buy the very expensive but remarkably gorgeous 708-page hardcover compilation, or the not as expensive but still gorgeous 640-page black-and-white hardcover.

Note that there are a couple of legacy subscription options (i.e. methods of subscription which are no longer available). These are the RPGNow subscription and the direct EN World WotBS subscription. Those who originally subscribed via one of these two methods will still continue to receive the products at the same time as they are released for individual sale (i.e. ahead of EN World community supporter subscribers).

You might want to edit that... The softcover adventures are NOT 6.99... I got excited until I clicked the link to see them at what I thought they were, $20-30 a piece...

Ooops! Bad copy/paste job from the PDF line!

Yeah, they're print-on-demand - and the 4E ones are all in full colour. That makes them quite pricey. But they are gorgeous - I buy them myself.

This might also be a good place to mention that those who purchase the PDF get access to the Fantasy Grounds 2 Virtual Tabletop version for free! There are links to the modules on the WotBS front page.

Bi-Monthly

Forgive me for asking this, but Bi-Monthly is not exactally spelled out for me, is it twice a month or once every two months? This just affects how often I want this campaign played, for me to be able to supply the game for my players. Thanks

"Bi-monthly" means once every two months.

They take longer to write than they do to play, unfortunately!

I subscribed using an old form of subscription and I can't get access to the content. Going to the downloads section just sends me to the EnWorld subscription service, not the WotBS 4e subscription service. How do I get access to these pdfs?

The link you had when you subscribed is still valid.

I just subscribed and am EXTREMELY excited for this campaign. As a new subscriber, I have a couple of questions

Why can I buy the PDF of WotBS 4E #2: The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar from Lulu, but not download it in the Subscribers Content area yet? (WotBS 4E #3: Shelter from the Storm as well for that matter) It sounds more like a marketing decision to make us pay more if we want them before the alloted 2 months are up, not the fact that they simply are not ready yet as the above quote insinuates. Is this correct or am I looking in the wrong place for the newer PDFs?

I did need the second adventure before the end of December, so I purchased the $6.99 version from LuLu and the PDF I got was missing the front cover. The cover even showed when I previewed the PDF on their site. This is a very minor gripe, but sucks as I print them out and spiral bind them with a clear cover. Was this intentional?

HUGELY minor nit-pick, but in the Subscribers Content area, there are keywords applied to the players guide and campaign guide, but not to the actual adventure itself so the filtering doesn't really work. Also, a 4E keyword would be nice.

Lastly, as far as battlemaps go, a lot of idiots like myself struggle at printing huge jpgs and having the squares end up really being 1". With PDF's like the 3.5 battlemaps, its a no brainier, just hit print. Any way we could see PDF battlemaps for the 4e maps?

I'm absolutely LOVING the adventures and appreciate all the time and effort you guys have put into the product
