I would love to be able to buy modules, designed for 5th edition, that are essentially a pdf adventure text and a pre-constructed Roll20 campaign. Maps would be already loaded into the different pages, with tokens. The tokens would already be set to their correct hit points and have auras, etc. Extra info could be in the pdf, or even written in the GM's layer on the map. Looking at the current marketplace, there are some modules for sale that might be like this, but they are all 3.5 edition/Pathfinder. I'm sure the reason there is no 5th edition material is IP. After so many disastrous attempts by WOTC to build their own online platform, they would be smart to jump on the one that's already built for them, before it starts costing them players.
I was surprised to see no Lamentations of the Flame Princess material on there. Maybe I just missed them. I've been looking for an excuse to go LOFP for a while, and high quality modules that are preloaded in the platform I use (instead of a book, which is really not helpful in terms of gamability/actual play sessions) would probably push me over.
Lastly, and this is the best case scenario, it would be best if there was a way for anyone to share the adventures they make and charge what you like. There are so many brilliant GMs out there who have spent time on their maps and stories. Its a shame for that effort to go to waste. I'm sure IP concerns and preference for their own marketplace is keeping Roll20 from doing this. Think of all the amazing art and maps and stories out there that I could be running.
