What ever way you like based on the titles and roles of the SCA. I know little or nothing about the SCA but societies are governed by what is needed for security, physical (from internal and external enemies) and food supply. With more formality and structure as populations rise. Nomadic hunter...

Am reading them at the moment, they are very much in the style of the short DMG adventures. The easiest to change are the general FR ones, since changing the framing and fleshing them out is all that are needed. The specific regional ones need a bit more work but given that they are so brief...

I tend to regard any location as a dungeon but even with in the traditional view, I use them a lot. I use dragons a lot less, but I have used them, particularly at higher levels.

The gods and Gazetteers and the overview of Faerun are probably not of a lot of use outside the Realms. The rest can be used depending on how much work one wants to do. Adventures and encounters can pretty much be placed anywhere (I have not read any in detail yet, but it looks that way)...

I believe that the change in distributor from Random House to in house Hasbro is the main reason that they are not on Bookscan.

Depends on how much you value the crunch and which crunch you want. The player facing stuff is mostly in Heroes, with the adventures, magic items and more detailed gazetteers in the other book.

Let us resurrect an old term "Lush"

I know that there are tools on some TV and other player for the visually impaired that voice captions and subtitles. I have never used them but seen them in use, but they also do stuff like describe the scenes. I am not sure if they can be restricted to captions only.

A DM that is getting upset by a stratagem of the players should engage in some introspection as to why? I am not claiming that I have always done this, but I have learned that any kind of arms race with the players is not a good idea. I get that Tiny Hut can negate some overland travel...

Or why should alcoholics have all the fun, other substances are now on the menu, Jem Hadar anyone?

I have not really read them yet but skimming through them, it struck me that these are all useful even if I use nothing other than the map. They struck me as similar to the DMG adventures, there is not enough context built in to make them good or great but there is enough that creating a context...

Agreed and but I see getting around encounters as a legitimate strategy. Not a fan of using the hut as a bunker but have never seen it in game.

Different strokes for different folks, I am not a fan of the 3e FR Campaign Guide. It was both too much and not enough. In that in practice I found it difficult to use at the table. I got too much information to remember and unless I had pre-digested it into a set of bullet points not easy to...

Well did Bookscan break out Amazon sales separately? Because if not, that just makes the data more unreliable.

Not necessarily, since as far as I know Bookscan no longer includes Amazon sales, due to changes in how the books are distributed. There may be other sales that are no longer included in Bookscan due to that also. Then there are the direct sales and as noted digital sales.
