I mean, the surveys would provide garbage info on balance issues. Vibe checking, however...

Right, they are scaling digital releas a percentage of their print MSRP.

I'd say it more shows the questionable viability of short D&D products.

OK, so the climactic "Hoard of fhe Dragon Queen" at the midway point, for Level 9 or ao, in dudes (first) getting one's own thing castle from a Cloud Giant, but also: 500,000 CP 100,000 SP 5,000 GP 800 PP 21 small blue sapphires worth 300 GP each a potion of gaseous form +1 Longdword +1...

One big difference between 2014 and 2024 is thst in 2014, yhe Dtarter Set was the low cost entry: now that's the free rules on Beyond. Heroes of the Borderlands is a bit more premium.

It is curious to consider alternate historys for early 5E design: what if they went a bit bigger with those early splats, or published the Elemental Ecil Player's Guide that was technically never canceled, or put the Arrificer and Mystic in Xanathar's along with mass combat rules...would 5E have...

That's always been thw trouble for anu company producing TRPG material: we don't need much to play for years, and we can share books and ideas easily.

$20.84, adjusted for inflation. TSR 32 page modules are over $30 adjusted.

How much is that wirh inflation...?

Book prices aren't linear, they are based on folio of 16 or 32 pages, and become increasingly price efficient at higher page counts. A hardcopy would probably be $29.99 for 32 pages. Not something I would pay for, maybe, but $14.99 for a digital copy of 32 pages is market appropriate.

From the Level 15 hoard at the end, Read-aloud text verbatim, ellipses are in-text: "You see gold - mountains of it. And jewels...and pearls...silver plates and gilded mirrors...jewled swords and the armor of kings...caskets and boxes and barrels filled to overflowing with the treasure of the...

I mean,Tyranny of Dragons does actually detail a hoard collected by a cult to summon Tiamat, it is shiny and newly collected.

Yeah, and I wouldn't necessarily expect to see the Advenfure and BG3 material reprinted, just the Vampire PC stuff.

Yeah, I think Dark Sun in 320 pages in a format similar to combining the two FR books would be plenty.

Being thin is soet of an advantage, leaves it open for repurposing.

I do feel the character options presented would be perfect for a "Forge of the Artificer" style Ravenloft book. The Gothic Dark Fantasy vibes are strong.

Or bowling an Uncle's old timey Lost Mines of Phandelver Set, or playing at one of the schol clubs WotC has been fitting out with Beyond...

The book does contain a lot of potent magic items, including off the wall weapons, worth looking at if you have it.

There does seem to be a section about Returned Netheril...so the Shades being treated as 2024 NPCs seems likely.

Oh, also, what resources can you draw on? Fizban's Treasury of Dragons has a lot of material that would fit this this to a T, bot Draconic items and dragon hoard special magic rules, and Book of Many Things has some fabulous potent magic items. The Dexk of Many Things itself would be pretty funny.
