So, while I love the cover art - I'm not sure the strategic value of the product from a marketing/publishing stance. But if it's for the newer generation of 5e gamers, is it really going to appeal to them? I mean as Bryce Lynch said above, these modules can be real meat grinders, and are not very story heavy - and I get the impression that that's the opposite of what the newer generation enjoys. With WotC ramping up the PoD of OSR products, is Yawning Portals supposed to draw more OSRers to 5e? If so, we're all either already on the 5e Train or still sitting back and happily playing our out of print or retro-clones.
That being said, this product confusing me. To this product I give a firm, resounding "Meh." Sure, I think it's great to introduce 5e gamers to the old school style of adventure - but for me, I already own most of these adventures and can play them using a system I'd much prefer - so I'll pass.
