[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6549533, member: 22424"] That's a good point, and one that's easily missed. That said, I'm inclined to think Hussar is probably right about return on investment on small standalone adventures - these may very well not be worth WotC's while to produce. As such, they would be better off sticking with the mega-adventures, and letting the third-party providers provide smaller offerings (ideally with the OGL). But the other vector that would be very useful here would be a return of Dungeon magazine, which should be worthwhile if they make it available on a subscription basis within the DDI. Assuming, that is, they can still muster the ~20k subscribers needed to make it viable. (That ~20k figure is something of a guess, so take with a pinch of salt. But there is a magic number of subscribers somewhere that marks the "worth it" threshold. And I'm pretty sure it would need to be a subscription-based model - otherwise, they're stuck trying to sell each issue individually to customers, which is a rather harder proposition.) [/QUOTE]
