Fucking good. This would have been catastrophic.

No Problem Here
IMO this is going to keep coming up though
Should a company continue to maintain a product that gives good PR and goodwill but no profit?
As far as I am aware we did not sign a contract upon purchase that said this stuff would be forever maintained
Not sure what should happen, perhaps at some point it would be released for a group of dedicated open source people to maintain as often happens with old video game roms
They should have had a plan for this though

I mean, we could litigate the concept of digital ownership until the cows come home but it basically comes down to a morality question, and we know where corporations come down on those 99% of the time.
This will 100% happen, assuming it hasn't already.
Honestly there's an opening here for another company to swoop in because what is D&D really other than fancy branding?
Paizo could put out a Pathfinder Beyond and take another shot across WotC's bow.
If Wizards has proven anything over the last few years it's that they are going to keep pulling this same shit and hoping this is the time they get away with it.

There are soooooooooo many ways to cheese D&D with the right combination of things... I'm scared of immovable rods and I have no idea why I gave your party one.
Oh wait, I remember. Dick joke.
Too bad we didn't know how to float on Moonsprout's rod.
Eagerly awaiting your Deck of Many Things.

DnD is such a weird and extremely fun game
I need to see if my LGS has a DnD night.

Until I opened this in chrome, your post succeeded it's stealth check against my passive perception.
Seems like a Moonsprout kind of problem, though.
T'was.Hope Moonsprout has better luck with the dragons than with Tarak.. that was his name, right?
Y'all never asked a fuckin' thing about those character's backstory. Which they had.
Lust needs no backstory

Typical D&D party
Big character? Meh
Random mook made up on the spot: OMG I WONDER WHAT HIS GENEALOGY IS
Truth. Truth.
Literally made me turn a random throw away comment made by the "baby's first encounter" merrow extortionist into emotional trauma to an orphan after he watched his father get eaten.
Made me turn two minor kobold brothers into heroic martyrs who's dedication to their sister left their charred corpses defending the threshold to her workshop. Buried on a cliff above the ocean.
But the two npcs defined in the adventure manual? With backstory and motive? Nope, not interested.
*cries in dungeon master*
