An easy way to improve the value of the DDI...

It would be a great way to get content to the players that can't attend events or to make it possible for the subscribers to have a cheap and easy "Thanks for your patronage" cookie.

While I'm not opposed to the idea presented here, I thought I'd mention:

You can get PDF copies of the Game Day modules by being an RPGA Herald-Level GM, and simply ordering them before the Game Day events. They're free to anyone who meets those criteria.

The Village of Hommlet is "exclusive" to the DM Rewards program, and as an RPGA GM I'm sort of glad for that fact. Keeping in mind that anyone with a DCI number can become a GM - and can then get a printed copy of the module (so long as they sign up before the year is out).

It's really a nice "thank you" from WotC/RPGA to those of us that step up to keep D&D active in our areas.

While I wouldn't object to PDF copies of the module appearing on DDI at some point in the future (maybe mid-next year, when the next "GM Exclusive" module is out) - for the time being I rather enjoy the (faux) exclusivity of the module.

May 31, 2009 14:13:35 I am a herald GM, but when I went looking for the PDF I couldn't find it in the list with the other adventures that could be ordered. Was I looking in the wrong place?

I was looking in the event sanctioning for D&D Private Play.

Thanks!

Jun 01, 2009 18:07:35 Well, we should clarify which PDFs you're looking for.

In the case of the Game Day - as Game Day is a promotional event, it is NOT available for private sanctioning. You must have a public venue associated with your profile in order to sanction a Game Day event.

There's a great how-to in the DCI section by their VCL (BillBo) on how to get locations approved/added to your profile here: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1092941

Once you have a Game Day sanctioned, while you've ordered a physical kit (which includes a printed copy of the module, map, and usually minis for both PCs and NPCs) - once the module is completed there will be a link on your sanctioned event to allow you to download a PDF copy of the adventure.

-----

For the "DM Rewards" adventure - The Village of Hommlet - there are no PDFs that I'm aware of.

However, all you *should* need to do to receive a copy is:
be enrolled in the DM Rewards program
Have a current address on file with the DCI/RPGA

There's more information (including how to sign up) here:http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/rewards/welcome

If you aren't already in the DM Rewards program (and if you were in the Player Rewards program you should have been rolled over into DM Rewards) and you sign up before August you'll get your adventure in the next mailing.

Next year (and every year after that) all you have to do to get the annual adventure is simply update your mailing address.
