[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6457540, member: 6785485"] I see that Legacy of the Crystal Shard is now available commercially in a physical format that contains a 64-page setting book describing Icewind Dale and its inhabitants, a 32-page adventure book, a four panel foldout DM screen keyed to the adventure, and an illustrated folder. From the way your post reads, this adventure was also used earlier as a playtest adventure? I assume the commercially available adventure has been updated with all of the most recent 5E rules and such? Please forgive me asking so many silly questions, but I literally just got into D&D and am unaware of the full history of all the play testing that went into the making of 5E. Oddly enough, one of the things I find most fascinating about D&D, is the history of the game. In fact, I have made selective purchases of D&D product thus far, trying to get some 5E modules, while also trying to get the 6 reprint books from AD&D 1E and the White Box reprint. I figure, after I get all 6 of the premium reprints from 1E, I will dive into collecting all of the 5E materials. I will most likely start with the Starter Box in all actuality. [/QUOTE]
