That's literally the only reason I'm getting the latter instead of the former. Silly. Also silly that 5e and DCC versions of Caverns of Thracia were written concurrently so they differ in text, and not just in stat blocks. OAR9.5 does not include the original, which breaks the whole concept behind OAR line—which is to include the darn originals. We had seen something similar with OAR8, which also doesn't include the originals. I am not hopeful for the future of this product line. #Postbox #GG #OAR Subscribe to get the latest post in your inbox.
