That's the charm: it is always delightful when books are both thick and dense.

I would posit that there is a lot of potential for Campaign books across the broader FR with Gazateers similar to that in the DM book.

I do like reading dictionaries and studying philosophy, so I may be too much of thr intended target audience...but once the mysterious space traveller thing picks up, ooh boy.

I am not so sure that they are married to the 2 book format specifically, so much as a 1 book FRCS at the scale they wanted was not possible: combined, the two books are like 480 pages! However, most other Settinng do not require that level of detail, and Dark Sun in particular is a small area...

Very specifically, the UA had Gladiator Fighter, Sorcerer Kong Warlock, Preserver Druid, and Defiler Sorcerer. In general about a Dark Sun approach...I dunno of it calls for a 2 book strategy. The Tablelands are significantly smaller than the areas covered in the FR Gazateers (except urban...

Forge of the Artificer seems to do a lot of this stuff, too, and I would not be surprised if Planescape or Spelljammer got similar releases down the road.

That kind of proves my point: Teleportion Circle, which is equivalent to Travelling in WoT, is a 5th Level Spell, thst is, it comes online at Level 9 in Tier 2. Other than a few maneuvers with powerful ancient artifacts, other stuff in Wheel of Time is, similarly, mid-Level. And itnis Epic...

Balance is actually pretty good at the Levels people tend to play at. I got the aspiration element from Jeremy Crawford, he answered a question on why they build out high Level options when relatively few tables use them, and I think there is really something to that.

I mean, they are the ones who manufactured duds. But at any rate, Hasbro will have this cost covered by contract or insurance, that's why they pulped the entire run.

I mean, they do that in this book.

The printer is the one who would pay for the reprints.

Ao, like the publication history of Conan stories beong all over the place chronologically.

Wheel of Time does get pretty epic...about Level 12 or 13, I reckon. Sanderson often has high-powered magic, but his world also operate with entirely powerless characters being juat as important, D&D doesn't model it well.

Well, these are less "Advenfures" and more "pre-built sets of Encoutners with nice maps"

Those numbera werew admittedly partial, and for only up to 2023...but thar is a long time for both of those Adventures.

Which ones, and how do their sales compare to those mentioned above?

Sure, but the broader point is...the mediocre mixed bag for Level 1-5 material sold like hotcakes, rhe actually better put together mixed bag for high level material did not (though a lot of publishers would kill for Mad Mage numbers).

I think the answer has nothing to with published options or anything systematic in the rules, but in narrative: look at the best selling Fantasy literature and cinema. Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time, etc. Not Tier 3 and 4 material. That sort of fiction exists, but ia more...

It did receive mixed reviews: yet sales remained strong over a period of some time.

Actually, if you fiuble back, Dragon Heist is one of the best selling 5E books.
