We are on the same page, but missing something I just realized. The individual are digital only. Need something to sale in stores as a physical product. Like Dungeon Magazine. Buy it for a bunch of little ones like that Shonen magazine for all the anime comics.Another thought: they could do both. Maybe if print cost is an issue, you could do the hardback APs in print and the shorter modules could be DnD Beyond and DMs Guild (print on demand) only.
I would actually include one more: full on AP. It is not a grouped compilation, but a stand alone multi-level campaign.We are on the same page, but missing something I just realized.

Then the $20 softcover gives a few adventure choices, and can be dismantled, unlike a hardcover.
So you have 3 ways:
Single digital
Mixed physical (can also sold as digital)
Grouped compulation (can also sold as digital)
?
I am confused how it differs, but interested in details...I would actually include one more: full on AP. It is not a grouped compilation, but a stand alone multi-level campaign.
No the AP would have not module option, it is just a traditional AP. So:I am confused how it differs, but interested in details...
Unless the AP is written last, and merges all little ones with corrections and other errata?
I can get a used Expedition to Barrier Peaks on Amazon for $70, what does inflation say it should cost?WotC books are already collections of smaller modules. Easy to break them up for reuse, too.
Tge economics of publishing 80's style booklets are pretty darned dire, when you look at what they would cost today just based on inflation.
I think that it's more than that. Take this example from rhime. Kelven's kairn should be a dirt simple adventure that is practically a five room dungeon with only one path through it.It's not the same as getting a single 32 page book that interests you. You're still buying a 200+ page book that you likely won't finish.
I am still confused how 3 and 4 are different.No the AP would have not module option, it is just a traditional AP. So:
- Modules (digital only)
- Grouped Modules (digital and print): modules could be unrelated even
- Compilation of modules into one campaign book (digital and print)
- AP: campaign length adventure with no modules (digital and print)
