A++. Adds an amazing amount of depth and flavor to the campaign. Well worth the price for the newspaper headlines alone.

Can you confirm whether or not this is good for DMs who have already gone through chapters 1-5 of Hoard of the Dragon Queen? I definitely would like to get some more flavour into my game but if the majority of content is only for before then, I might just look at my own stuff.

I’d say it has utility from pg 17 on, which is still a good portion. You might even find the earlier sections helpful

5 out of 5 stars. This is an amazing campaign and I highly recommend it, especially for the the excitement of battling the dragons. This guide helps with DM prep since it is a complicated campaign to run.

Description should say ''with help running the published adventures : Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat'' instead of ''with help running the published adventures, Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat''

Here I thought the published adventures were the AL modules...

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
