[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7687677, member: 22779"] Thing is, it doesn't really matter what you are interested in. The fact of the matter is that AL adventures are there to promote the AL. Gaining access to those modules is as simple as putting in 4-5 hours of work once every six months. That's it. Instead of costing you about 150 bucks to gain all those modules at 5 bucks a pop, you get to save that money and give back to the community. It's not a bad deal. Complaining that you don't want to is perfectly valid and fair, but, as far as WotC is concerned, getting you to give up your time is worth more to them than the money they might get from you. And, as far as a supported license goes, it's right there. It's called the OGL and it's doing EXACTLY what it's supposed to do. Allow other people to provide D&D content. Again, it's fair to complain that it doesn't have a logo on the cover, but, I'm not sure you can complain that there's no material available when there's buckets of material there and not a single peep from WotC saying that they care if you use it or not. Retread stories? Really? Princes of the Apocalypse is a retread of what exactly? Sure, there are elements and nods to earlier works, but, I'm frankly drawing a blank on what this is retreading? Out of the Abyss is recreating what? What modules from D&D's history feature a gaggle (and that's the proper term for a group) of demon lords invading the Underdark and driving everyone insane? I'm honestly quite curious here what you think is being rehashed. 'Cos, if it is a rehash, I'd really like to see the original. Dragon+? Ok, that one I'll totally give you. Here's hoping they get better with time. Only way is up right? The last one wasn't too bad. It did have lots of goodies in there. Heck, I'm using the module they included with the last issue right now to build an adventure for Primal Thule. So, for me at least, I did get some use out of it. [/QUOTE]
