[QUOTE="Jer, post: 7706393, member: 19857"] I think this is actually perfectly fine. And Wizards will be able to see to a degree how large that audience really is. To a degree because I suspect that the "Nostalgia Factor (TM)" on this book will cause it to sell quite well outside of that audience. Heck I own 6 of the 7 adventures in that collection in their original forms and have even run one of them as a 5e conversion already and I'm [I]still[/I] probably going to end up getting a copy eventually. I'll wait for some reviews and the opportunity to flip through it myself to see how its done but chances are it'll end up being a sale unless they screw something up. So even this book might not give Wizards a good feel for how large the audience really is. And honestly I've long had the stance that it was stupid of TSR and later Wizards to not keep some of these things in print even back in the day. There's no reason why they shouldn't have re-released Against the Giants with a second edition conversion, for example and kept it in print. Wizards has finally hit on the idea that maybe some adventures really are "evergreen" and they should be making some money off of them edition to edition by keeping them in print instead of just letting the secondary market have that money. (Though to a large degree keeping the PDFs "in print" on DMsGuild accomplishes most of this. I wonder what those sales figures look like...) [/QUOTE]
