I might be late to the party or something, but in case people want to talk about that recent move and/or didn't know about it yet, follow the links at DriveThruRPG:

I like! Though did they re-release the Basic D&D rulebooks/cyclopedia to go with? Because I'd buy that!

Cool, now we just need those POD.

Sweet!

Well I'll be.

WotC has a DTRPG account? Holy cow, that was unexpected. I guess someone told them "Hey genius you don't need to host your own servers in order to make money off the IP you bought." Idiots. Good to see someone over there bought a clue.

it's an old link from when they had the pdfs available, no longer valid.

On the right hand side of B1's page, it says the item was last updated on Dec. 18, 2012.

someone over on the G+ tabletop roleplaying games group tried to order it 12/21 and got this message:

"Wizards of the Coast has instructed us to suspend all sales and downloads of Wizards of the Coast titles. Unfortunately, this includes offering download access to previously purchased Wizards of the Coast titles. We are in discussions with Wizards about their decision to change their approach to digital sales of their titles and will post more information as we have it. If you would like to let Wizards know your opinion on offering D&D titles for download, we suggest the D&D Message Boards found here."

drivethru did a prompt refund, too.

So they're still idiots.

Or else they are messing with their account getting ready to start selling stuff again.
