I strongly suspect that we'll see an electronic version of the adventure released, either as part of the final playtest packet, or as D&D Insider content.It's true that TSR re-released some early tournament adventures for general consumption, but I suspect that TSR's decision-making process was more "our product has been an unexpected success and we desperately need more stuff to sell -- can we maybe reuse those handy tournament adventures over there?" than "we need to republish these tournament adventures to make sure they are available to the general public and not just to a limited audience".Also I'd like to point out that lately, WotC has a pretty good track record of making convention and other limited release material more widely available. Three of the adventures in the D&D Next playtest packet were first run as convention events: Caves of Chaos at DDXP in January 2012, Reclaiming Blingdenstone at GenCon 2012, and Mines of Madness at PAX East in March 2013.There have also been many adventure re-released as DDI content. Siege of Gardmore Abbey in Dungeon 210 was first run as a Penny Arcade Expo 2011 convention exclusive. The Sun Never Rises in Dungeon 216 was originally run at Winter Fantasy 2012. The DM rewards adventures The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan and The Village of Hommlet were republished in Dungeon 209 and 212 respectively. Beyond the Crystal Cave in Dungeon 211 and The Elder Elemental Eye in Dungeon 214 were both originally seasons of D&D Encounters.Of course, the decision-making process for DDI content might also be more "we're desperate for content, what can we recycle"  than "we need to make sure these gems reach a wider audience".</blockquote>
