The one that makes the most sense to me is Waterdeep: Dragonheist. There are four BBEGs... lots of intrigue and mystery. The protagonists have a home base. And they interact with just about every faction on the Sword Coast.

Yikes! I guess better to cancel now rather than drag things out?

One of the key anecdotal comments from the Facebook thread is the cost of international shipping from DriveThruRPG essentially drove people to Amazon where the shipping was an order of magnitude less expensive... or "free". This could be due to the pre-printing that Amazon does or it could be...

Here are Chris's replies to my questions... 1. So it's possible that some folks who get a book quickly from Amazon are receiving it because it was pre-printed rather than going through the full print-on-demand cycle. 2. Makes sense. PDFs are free and only DtRPG has an actual download option...

One of the reasons this topic interests me is that I've been keeping a list of 3rd party 5e Campaign Settings and Adventure Paths. I've been hesitant to link to Amazon when there are other options (DtRPG, Lulu, Itch.io, or direct to publisher). But there are a couple of small...

How quick is Amazon’s Print on Demand? Was it printed and delivered in 2 days or is it similar to others where it takes a bit longer?

I found this post on Facebook by Chris Gonnerman, one of the authors of the OSR Basic Fantasy rules interesting. I asked the following for clarification... and I would love it if others could chime in on their general experience with these platforms.

I think the dual-d12 mechanic where you can succeed with fear fits the cosmic horror vibe decently well.

I don't generally track system-neutral stuff, but the design on this looks gorgeous... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cartographybird/the-cosmographers-atlas-sandbox-worlds-for-storyteller-gms

OK, I removed the following items from the AP list with the associated reasons. To break this down a bit... There is one creator, Anthony David, who consistently fulfills their kickstarter campaigns, but does not generally sell them post completion. I've decided to remove their other stuff...
