If you don't want to wait, it's pretty easy actually.

On page 22 of the issue, click on the "share" link (Top right corner on an iphone) and email the page to yourself. Open your email on your laptop and click the link to download the pdf of that page. In that pdf, will be a link to the Shackles of Blood PDF that you can click and a snazzy new pdf will appear on your computer. Save it and you're good to go. Bit of a PITA, but, only a couple of steps. Takes about 10 seconds.

Tyvm, that was a little tricky. I was trying to work with the actual PDF, I didn't even think to try and work with the page off the app. Thanks again!

 

[Barachiel]

Can't I just have this as PDFs on my laptop? Seriously...WotC never listens/cares it seems.

That would probably constitute copyright violation, such that we'd have to take them down. So, please folks, don't do this.

Sorry I was only talking about the links (to WotC's site), not ripping the actual files.

 

[darjr]

Is it copyright violation to post links that they themselves give out? Or post on line? These links are on their web site posted so the whole world can access them.

I'll admit it's probably at least rude. I'm waiting for their web site solution at the moment.

Since the free adventures are from the AL, does that imply that all of the AL adventures are essentially free? Reason I ask is that I would love to collect them all, but I don't wish to enroll in the AL or have anything to do with that side of the house.

Most of them, unlike the ones in the magazine, are password protected and the password is given out to AL organizers.

All AL Expeditions scenarios ARE essentially free. That dosnt mean that they afre freely available however. Stores get passwords on how to access them which they pass on to their in store dms and such.

Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully they'll release them publicly once they hit a certain age.

 

[Tyranthraxus]

To be honest I doubt it, in much the same way I doubted that there would ever be a Compilation of Living Greyhawk modules or Living FR scenarios into a book format. If you have seen Expeditions then you would know that they lack the polished mapping of your standard module that WOTC might produce. If they released say all of Season 1 into one large hardback they would most likely HAVE to redo the maps (mostly because they would have people clamoring for the maps).

If say season 1 is ever retired, there could be something there but again I dont think so.

sigh, this thing still doesn't work on my Android device, anybody got a link for the free adventure? I know there was one for the previous one.....
