[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9839429, member: 11760"] As someone who did play the G series as they came out when I was, in fact, 12 -- who cares? Those players are a fraction of the market. Now that 5E didn't turn out to be the "close the lights and put up the chairs on the table" close-out edition of D&D, adventure books shouldn't just cater to the old folks. If WotC put out a new adventure anthology today as underwritten as Tales of the Yawning Portal, people would freak out about how half-assed it was. The good adventures in the book (which isn't all of them) deserve a full ass. And that's basically what I'm advocating: Let Yawning Portal go out of print and bring back the new adventures in more expanded format. (The original could/should still be sold on digital platforms, for those who want it.) Give us a Queen of the Spiders campaign adventure that makes the storyline make more sense and add meat to the bones throughout. If we want tor return to Tamoachan, have the folks who did Radiant Citadel do it -- and maybe stick it in one of the Concord Worlds, where it would fit in well -- and make the monsters fit the setting and make it work as a contemporary adventure. Make the Forgotten Realms site-based adventures the major set pieces of new Forgotten Realms-based campaigns. And so on. [/QUOTE]
