[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6831102, member: 22424"] Sure. It was said up-thread that the hardback book is quite possibly the [i]worst[/i] format for providing adventure material. The problem is that it's also by far the most cost-effective, both for WotC and for us. Now, that said, there are certainly things WotC could do to make their current adventures more user-friendly - things like moving the stat blocks into the main text (less efficient, yes, especially when they have to repeat the same creature multiple times, but probably worth it for ease-of-use), or making the maps available for download from the site, or things like that. I think we're probably stuck with the hardback, but we're not necessarily stuck with them exactly as they are now. Great. Now, would you pay $20 for it? And, if yes, when you stack two(-ish) such adventures up against an "Out of the Abyss", are you [i]really[/i] sure you wouldn't think you'd had a raw deal... especially since there's no guarantee that the quality of those two (as adventures) would be any better than OotA - after all, WotC engaged the service of some of the very best in the business to produce that storyline.
