[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 6234928, member: 9849"] I'm wondering if this approach isn't a deliberate experiment by WotC: 1. Release two adventures in print-only format. 2. Release the next two adventures in electronic-only format. 3. Monitor sales vs. costs and fan reaction carefully, and use that as a basic for deciding how best to release supplements for D&D Next. We know from recent WotC statements that PDF sales on DNDClassics have been much stronger than they anticipated, but as has been pointed out in this thread, most of the releases have been of material for previous editions, so those sales could be misleading. Still, two of the three current top sellers seem to be D&D Next products ([i]Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle[/i] and [i]Vault of the Dracolich[/i]), which is interesting. Experimenting with the format of D&D Encounters releases strikes me as a good way to do some live market research ahead of D&D Next's release. [/QUOTE]
