Say £20 an adventure plus a free pdf and you are good to go, is very likely to encourage a lot of impulse buys.  Will it impact on the PHB/DMG/MM sales in the short term? I'd guess not so much as people think, I reckon most people who were going to buy them still will, a few who were sitting on the fence may opt not too, but I can't see it being too damaging, and IF the systems and adventures are good (and seeing that the first two adventures are by Kobold press, i'm optimistic!), in the long term I think sales will benefit.What I'm really excited about is how they tie it in with other media platforms, video games and mobile apps specifically, I really hope that they can push the DnD brand further into the mainstream as i think its a fantastic hobby and would be great to get as many people interested as possible.Interesting times!</blockquote>
