This one seems to be fairly modular: each piece of the Rod sounds like it could be broken off and run separately, maybe alter the MacGuffin.

Pretty into both: Staircase is more of a known element, at least.

It is not, actually. It's a DMsGuild release by a writer who happens to be a WotC employee (not in D&D). Because he wrote the OG BG games, his stuff has prestige...but they are nit official.

And I don't see them on store shves...and my FLGS is like 15 minutes away from Goodman Games office!

More print runs would drive up all the logistical costs: the difference in design costs can be seen in D&D. Eyond selling Adventures for $5.

That's fine, those can be perfectly fun. But much like driving a Ferrari 10 miles under the speed limit only to the grocery store on Sundays, it's not quite the design intention.
