A few somewhat related questions...
I am considering picking up Scourge of the Sword Coast in order to get an updated version of Daggerford and environs (I have long owned and enjoyed the AD&D module N5 Under Illefarn). I see that DM's Guild sells it in multiple formats: PDF, and softcover color books in both standard and premium heavyweight (print on demand, I believe), or some combination thereof. However there doesn't seem to be much in the way of description or photos of the different versions. Can anyone with experience in these formats tell me more about them? Are they saddle-stitched (stapled) booklets similar to say the two in the D&D Starter Set? Is there a cover that is in any way heavier than the other pages, similar to most retail published adventure modules? On the PDF, is the text searchable or is it just images of the pages?
I was led to the product by seeing/purchasing Mike Schley's excellent map set of the adventure, and as mentioned above, am mostly interested in it as a resource for Daggerford and environs. Also looking for a good small-mid size dwarven dungeon comparable to the original dwarven stonghold in Under Illefarn and was wondering if that is what Firehammer Hold was?
Finally, reading up on the above adventure, I see that it is a loose sequel of sort to Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle which also seems to be pretty connected to the Daggerford area, and is also sold on DM's Guild (though only as a PDF). Can anyone who is familiar with both tell me (a) which is the better resource for a Daggerford campaign and/or which, if either, has a better dwarven stronghold/dungeon such as I described above?
Thanks in advance!
