[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 8193802, member: 8461"] WotC has released two new PDFs as pay-for-downloads over on DriveThruRPG. One is the [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/284496/The-Planescape-Conspectus?affiliate_id=820'][I]Planescape Conspectus[/I][/URL] ("A digital PDF of this poster of setting information for the AD&D 2nd edition campaign setting Planescape") for $4.99. The second is [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/284502/Palace-of-the-Vampire-Queen?affiliate_id=820'][I]Palace of the Vampire Queen[/I][/URL] for $3.99. Students of D&D history will find this rather odd, since while [I]Palace of the Vampire Queen[/I] may have been distributed by TSR Hobbies, to my knowledge it was never owned by them, being instead released by Wee Warriors in 1976. Even odder is that this adventure is still being sold by other companies, such as the "classic reprint" [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/297617/Palace-of-the-Vampire-Queen-Classic-Reprint?affiliate_id=820'][I]Palace of the Vampire Queen[/I][/URL] by Precis Intermedia, and the AD&D 1E/OSRIC adaptation [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/264077/V5-Palace-of-the-Vampire-Queen-Castle-Blood?affiliate_id=820'][I]V5 Palace of the Vampire Queen: Castle Blood[/I][/URL] from Pacesetter Games & Simulations. This also apparently marks the end of the free PDFs that WotC has been releasing lately.
