This was a
huge week for D&D fans (especially those who fancy the 5th Edition), and especially for anyone who has a desire to create and share 5e-driven content, whether as a fan, would-be new publisher, or an established house.
The Dungeon Masters Guild - a joint venture between
Wizards of the Coast and
DriveThruRPG - not only provides a venue for official 5e material to come out digitally from WotC, it sets up a solid mechanism for
anyone to create and share 5e material with the world. The current focus is on the Forgotten Realms, but there's little doubt other settings will eventually make their appearance (and availability for creation) on the site down the road. Parallel to this is the release of the long-awaited new
OGL terms and System Reference Document for full-scale publishing operations. Understandably, there are a
lot of questions about how it all works. If you're serious about doing something, do yourself a favor and
read this page, top to bottom, carefully.
