Except that the labor is probably more in the $0.01 range in reality... Selling 10s of thousands of copies tends to make that one time labor cost very negligeable... EDIT: the $0.01 is for setting up the individual monster, for these books they had to also produce the actual content. The same...

agreed, I just think doing this comparison is missing the mark in the first place. The real comparison is against other digital products with that number of pages, not against a theoretical print product and then taking 60% of its hypothetical price.

against bosses or in general? I am perfectly fine with that against bosses I am already convinced, also don’t legendary resistances already kinda paved the way for a more detailed approach than ‘one size fits all’?

It raised less than half of what the 5e version did in the same first day. Still good for DH, just to put it in perspective. There are two factors for this imo 1) how many people know about the campaign to begin with, the Dudes being popular YTers probably makes quite a bit of difference there...

maybe, maybe they just set it to where they expect to make the most profit. We had this discussion already, the DLC is ridiculous overpriced compared to what other publishers ask for 32 pages, and that is what I compare it to. $5 would be a decent price for this, anything past $8 is greedy, $15...

it's not like they are scaling the digital releases linearly with their size either...

the digital bundle was not reduced in price, certainly none of the DLC was, I don't think the actual 'books' were either. The only discount comes from bundling digital +print

personally, $4.99 would be a good price point, $9.99 is greedy, $7.50 is acceptable / kind of the upper limit of what can be justified

if you bought the bundle, you literally paid for them, I would contact WotC / DDB and ask them to resolve this. With you buying the expansions this might be harder now as the only fix now is to refund you for them

ha, you might even include 24-ified versions of the ones from the 2014 MM, to complete the collection ;)

that was not my intention, that was not about other DMs at all, it was about the product. You can prefer to not have to come up with something, even if you agree that it would be easy to. That says nothing about you as a DM. The point was that there still is a lot left that you do need to come...

anything is possible ;) I grant you that there are people who find them useful. Do you grant me that I am not the only one to not find them all that useful? My point is more that I do not think that they make the best use of the limited space they have to give us an interesting scenario. They...

not about how it works, but about how accurate it is. Also, it is pretty much the norm that people have to tweak encounters in premade adventures based on their party, or so I am led to believe on this forum, so if I need to do that anyway, WotC offering me what amounts to a random encounter is...

they both were misses, the preserver did not actually preserve anything, they basically cast an illusion that lasted for a short while and then everything reset to normal. If I wanted to actually preserve nature, this is the last thing I would do. Literally anything I would try to help the...

and I agree with that ;) I didn’t say no one would complain

agreed, let’s see what the final product is though. The preserver was a problem altogether, it did not preserve anything. there isn’t really much that is needed. Have 10 pages of additional (not replacement) mechanics if you think they are needed, not counting races and subclasses. 90% can be...

I was fine with maps and a intro paragraph, so we can take these out of the equation. I agree that they are the only value these one-pagers provide. The encounter math is not that hard, what is more it locks the encounter / quest to a level. Leaving that open and instead providing me more...

I am aware, but in sales and reviews it was, and that is what ultimately matters, not one individual’s opinion

I expect it to happen, and it is what should be done no idea how many will, some obviously always do. I like DS and I am fully on board with what I laid out, the details in the fluff are far more of interest to me than the large scale mechanics of DS, so to me the question is more about those...

eh, I see very little difference in the prep work required, they only did the easy part and left most of it to me either way I can run an encounter or two using what they provided with no prep, sure, but that does not an adventure make. Not even a side quest really
