I think you can include both CC and OGL material in the same document, no?

And Numenera and Blades in the Dark

Some of the store owners who spend time here might have some evidence. Teos's data would put it at roughly 5 to 1 DMGs to CoSs. We can also count reviews on Amazon (a flawed approach, I know, but probably better than our wild-ass guesses): The DMG has 29773 reviews. Curse of Strahd has...

So many! Empire of the Ghouls from Kobold Press's Midgard setting can be found at the Kobold Press Store and DriveThruRPG. Scarlet Citadel, also by Kobold Press, is available on DTRPG. I've stopped using the 2014 Monster Manual and DMG and replaced them with the A5e's Monstrous Menagerie and...

But they are, by definition, unreachable, or we could tell them all about the awesome 5e short-form adventures from other companies. I think there’s actually few RPG enthusiasts who don’t search Google, YouTube or Reddit to find info and learn through those sources about the wider world of RPGs...

The thicker paper was unique to the boxed sets (which I have big problems with -- so much cardboard!!). They had to use big thick paper or the books would look like Babar. Those thick pages aren't in their other normal hardcover books.

Why do we worry about them? If they want help, the can come find us with the Googles and the YouTubes. By what, going back in time and buying Castle Amber?

That's probably true. Their font size went up quite a bit which is something I mentioned in my Planescape review. Compared to the value of Eberron, we're paying 20% more for half the material these days. WOTC's been coy about the core books saying things like they're going to be larger than any...

In response to the thread on Matt Coleville's take on large published campaign adventures I found myself wishing he had instead focused on some of the more recent and excellent short adventures written by dozens of 5e publishers. What are your favorite short adventures, publishers of short...

You want to talk about OK boomer, I’ll wait until I get my complementary copy as a Legacy D&D Beyond writer and see if its worth buying the first print or waiting until they print it with all the errata. As much as I expect them to be able to publish solid, beautiful books on time. I also...

So buy it somewhere else?

I think Matt makes good points and as others have pointed out, those sorts of adventures are commercially hard to make successful. Robert Schwab talked about this difficulty as he publishes dozens of short adventures in PDF for Shadow of the Demon Lord. They’re a loss leader for him as he states...

I’m pretty sure they’re not going to have the same problem with the core books that they had with the Deck of Many Things…

What do you think is going to happen? What do you think the likelihood is of that happening? I’m no fan of WOTC but I expect them to ship the core books on time and I expect the same level of physical quality I’ve seen from their recent books. I had problems with the content of Spelljammer and...

The PHB is practically released at this point. I don't think there's much they can do to change things now.

I don’t think it’s a PDF. It’s like other online only digital adventures.

I did a poll on this a while ago and found that most DMs took the role because no one else would and there wouldn't be a game without it. So that supports your proposal.

My rule of thumb is that you have to maintain any digital archive by digging into it every 5 years to make sure the file formats and the media you're using to store it are still up to date.

And in glorious PDF! Save it to your thousand-year archive!

WOTC has a history of killing their digital platforms and taking all of the products within away. They did this with pretty much everything in 4e and then just recently with Dragon+. I would never trust them to keep a digital platform up indefinitely. PDFs, however, as long as I care for them...
