I just noticed this little curiosity: we'll be getting two AP volumes with "Ruins of ..." in the title back to back soon: the final volume of Agents of Edgewatch is Ruins of the Radiant Siege which is the followed by Ruins of Gauntlight, the first volume for Abomination Vaults. :)

It's OK, at least the abbreviations are different :D (RotRL I'm looking at you)

The more adventures we publish, the more often you'll see us repeat words or create titles that have the same abbreviations. My (naive) hope is that this encourages folks to spell out entire titles rather than abbreviate everything, which often gets way over the top in internet posts to the point where the message is nonsensical if you don't speak fluent Acronym.

Publishing loads of adventures just to force people to stop using acronyms is an EXCELLENT decision, Mr. Jacobs.

Of course, you could just start calling your adventures "Bob" and "Sue", but I prefer your solution :)

I prefer using the full titles of books anyway.
