Princes of the Apocalypse Players Companion Module

[xcmkerr]

Has anyone built one? Is anyone in process? My Par5e skills are rusty and I'm running thin on time till I run PotA, so any help would be appreciated!

This material can't be distributed/shared outside of the official channels due to copyright restrictions - even the free PDFs contain a clear copyright notice. This should be in the store at some point - see post #6 below.

Trenloe, that applies equally to the basic rules. It seems like the Player's Companion should be put up on the FG store for a dollar or two, no?

Absolutely, that's why I referred to "the free PDFs". When I was saying "can't be distributed" I was referring to the OP asking for a copy.

I agree. I'm sure it will be at some point.

I know this has been discussed a lot... but don't you guys have the right to distribute ?

[Zeus]

We have finished preparing the PotA and the EE PC modules, they will be submitted through the usual approvals process and will arrive in the store in due course.

Darn it - Zeus posted while I was searching for that post!

Clearly there's a time difference between Olympus and Australia :)

I think Zeus is both faster AND Im just slower....

[epithet]

Any word on how long of a course might be due for the EE PC?

I'm looking at the pdf, looking at PAR5E, and thinking "As soon as I get that into a module, they'll put it up on the store."

[dxmichelle]

That would be great! maybe in time for the steam sale? *wishfully thinking*

[JohnD]

I doubt that we'll get a new product release that immediately goes on sale.

[epithet]

But... the Elemental Evil Player's Companion was released more than 2 months ago.

My expectation--perhaps unrealistic--is that products might find their way onto the FG storefront about a month after they're available in a traditional format. I understand that there's a backlog, but I would have anticipated that the Companion (being a relatively small, free pdf) would be "fast tracked" through the approval process. I would guess that Zeus had the par5ed module ready to go within a couple of days of the pdf being released, so we're waiting on someone at Wiz to fire up the PC, load the FG module, and say "yep, that's what was in the pdf."

[TASagent]

I expect they were prepared to be released together. Otherwise, different people would have almost the same question of "I see the players guide, why isn't the adventure available?".

[TASagent]

Plus, I believe the adventure is supposed to come with the player's guide, but that would mean people who intended to buy the adventure would have to hold off and not buy the player's guide by itself if they didn't want to spend unnecessary money.

No, I mean that there won't be a new product offering while the summer sale is on.

[JeffKnight]

My guess is that it's stuck in the WotC approval process. If there is one thing we know, it is that WotC is the slowest part of the equation. I would also agree that we won't see any new products, especially the licensed ones, during the summer sale.

[epithet]

Zeus has already confirmed that it was submitted to Wiz weeks ago. Either they are intentionally holding off so that the two (EEPC and PotA) can be released at the same time, or they're doing some Olympic grade thumb twiddling.

[Revidy]

I read somewhere that they are hoping to do a parallel release once Rage of Demons comes out so that it shows up on FG at the same time as stores which would be amazing.

[Larac]

Perhaps WOTC is still have jury duty issues.

[TASagent]

Like Grand Jury duty.

A roommate in grad school got stuck on a grand jury. That did not look fun.
