If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Oooh! I might get the Ravenloft set.

I might get both once I can afford them. It's the only way to get them at a reasonable price imo.

Oh nice! I ordered the Ravenloft print. I'll get the Dark Sun as well. I have an original boxed set, but it would be nice to have an extra copy that I'll feel less worried about ruining at the gaming table.

QuoteWe (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

If they were wrong, why are you willing to profit off of them? Why are you willing to let drive thru RPG sell them?
You don't get a pass with a mealy disclaimer, you turds. Suck on the ethnic, racial and gender prejudices that you endorse and enable by putting money in your pockets for products you disavow.

Because I have questions:

Is there a link between Spelljammer and Planescape, or are they two different cosmologies?
Also why is the PS softcover with 40 less pages just as expensive as the SJ hardcover?

And has anyone in the EU done print-on-demand from DTRPG since Brexit? How much extra taxes and fees should I expect?

In the sense that a Spelljammer character could theoretically meet a Planescape character, yes.

Spelljammer is set in and between the prime material planes. Every crystal sphere contains a campaign world, and is seperated by a "phlogision" and Spelljammer ships can "sail" between them.

Planescape is set mostly in the outer and inner planes, with jaunts to prime planes via gates and portals.

So all set in the same grand cosmology, but different methods of travel, and focuses on where the adventures usually happen.

I don't know. Others will have to answer those questions.

Spelljammer and Planescape are radically different, but don't really overlap. So while they don't naturally go together, they don't directly conflict either.

Page counts are good predictors of price for classic D&D products on OBS, but there are all kinds of exceptions. I suspect pricing is based on what they think they can get, and the Planescape boxed set is probably the most expensive of the 2e box sets right now in the aftermarket, so they've priced it higher.

Honestly that annoying but more importantly hypocritical disclaimer bothered me at first. Now I don't think about it. It's either not buy and buy the same material at truly rip-off outrageous prices or get them cheaper. I choose the second.

  Production costs may figure in as well--IIRC, Planescape included a lot more full-color art that Spelljammer, which drives up the printing costs.

  I own the reprints they've done of I6, I10, and the Ravenloft: Realm of Terror box. Pretty solid productions, and useful for when you prefer a book over a box or don't want to use the older, more worn originals.

Currently the POD on DriveThru are not badly priced. 25 soft, 30 hard. Compared to the idiots trying to scalp boxed sets for hundreds. Lots o luck that.
