Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Ghosts of Saltmarsh.
Among a few. I can find them out of stock for the last year! I can find used copies for 85.00 to 150.00 dollars but I want a new copy. Are these going to be reprinted? You figure these are current edition adventures and should be readily available since there is a demand. Or were they supposed to be limited to "if you got em great, if you didn't you are out of luck?"
They weren't supposed to be limited. What's likely the case is that retailers are out of stock but they're not a priority to reprint (you know, given the 2024 core rulebooks). I suspect they'll be back in print at some point
Being as there is only 2 official Adventures that go to level 20 you figure they both would be available. I have Vecna, but I have waited more than a year to get both Water deep books. And with the new DMG I want to also get into Greyhawk with Ghosts of Saltmarsh which just went out of stock 7 months ago.
I feel like I have waited a long enough time for this. But then again I am only 1 Customer. I am a mouse of a voice.
Have you checked your Local Game Shop? I know the few around me usually have at least 1 harder to find item that I did not expect to see still in stock.
Just a suggestion :)
EDIT: After I posted, I took a look on Amazon, and Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is still available new for $44.41. Just letting you know (also that is a link).
Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.
Great find! Just ordered it! Well now I am down to the hardest of the bunch. Dungeon of the mad mage has always been the hardest to find. But the initial idea of my post still stands. These titles should be readily available especially now with the new core books out. There are so many new players and DM's that are going to want to get a hold of them! Just saying🤔
$85-$150 for used? Gulp. Normally, I pay $40 brand new...

I've never struggled to find any of the 5e adventure modules.
They are always available through Amazon or any of my FLGSs. If your local game store doesn't have them in stock, see if they can order from their distributor. Heck, check Barnes & Noble stores! Growing up, I used to buy all my DND stuff from the Walden Books in the local mall.
These books are not out of print, they just are "old" and so there isn't a reason for most smaller places to keep them in stock as no one needs more than one copy.
Ots weird you can't find those. Beadle and Grimm has a deluxe box set for SaltMarsh with all the printed maps. They had one for DragonHeist too, but it has been sold out for a long time.
Where are you looking for these? If you are at your local game shop, they only stock what they think will sell, so that is going to be different by location. A lot of them will put in an order for you if you ask them though. If money is tight for them (and that is sometimes the case with Amazon always sucking up their profits), they might make you wait for them to do their next order from WotC, but that is probably a month wait at the most.
I have been to my local game stores, Amazon, and many other online stores. I want a physical copy not a digital copy. Barns and Noble keep saying out of stock for the last year. My local store says their distributor also says out of stock. So this is the brick wall I hit. The Hit Pointe mail order is also out of stock and have been for a long time.

They are out of print. They haven't been available for over 6 months at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and all the big stores. Distributors don't have them. Don't you think we've been looking? Ghosts of Saltmarsh isn't even available physically from Wizards directly and hasn't been for some time.
I don't think they're out of print, I just don't think they're being printed which is a different thing. WotC spoke back in early 2024 about how difficult it was to find printers to do the number of books the 2024 rule books needed to meet expected demand (which is why they came in three releases) so I think it's probably just stopping ordering older books while they got those done and now they're out they'll go back to the regular print schedule for the older lower demand books
I think also the US has issues with books anyway. They're more expensive and I just tried five of the adventures on Amazon UK and could get any of them no problem.

My local Game Store still has several copies of the adventures you are looking for. If you want their contact info to see if they will sell and ship to you, hit me up. Also they are all still priced at MSRP, no mark-up.

Why would distributors want to stock product that is in most cases arguably obsolete?
These adventures were all written for the 2014 rules. Even to the extent they are still useable with the 2024 rules, not all distributors will understand that or be willing to take that risk.

Love Walden Books! But once again out of stock and I have tried to special order through them with no success.
Dungeon of the Mad Mage is showing in stock at:
I would have loved to order this from Goblin Brothers but if you read the description on this it is not the book, it is maps and misc.
I thank you for looking for me though Allurian219
Still looking for Dungeon of the Mad Mage Book and Ghosts of Saltmarsh.
Wow, my apology. I saw the image and stopped there. That's pretty dirty by that store.
Amazon UK has a tendency to blur the line between the two Mad Mage books as well, I bought the map pack by mistake myself
