D&D Skirmish Update!

I know they said as much before, but it's nice to see it happen. D&D Mini's were, in part, responsible for me getting back into RPG's.

What? So all those people making their own cards with MSE and other programs can now sell them?

I got to read this thing REAL close!

Actually, only the official licensees, IE the three dudes they named at the bottom of the article. Also, it states the license is for not-for-profit use only, meaning the licensees cannot make money off DDM.

You don't have to make a profit to sell things. PDF cards could be free, but what about print-on-demand cards from somewhere to have cards for those that don't have high-end printers and a new ink cartridge for each DDM stat card.

So only the "Guild" can make stats for ANY mini?

Not that you know the answer to this either, but I will ask since I don't know where to find it....

Does this "guild" plan on doing only 2.0 or 1.0 stats for existing DDM sets, and/or future Heroes and Monster sets?

Few loose ends left untied in that article.

I wish a link to "The Guild" was posted.

The hordelings have a site, wonder if that works.

I cannot currently imagine any significant way in which this is not great news! Community-based development rocks!

(Nope, I buy the minis but I don't play DDM, if that matters at all.)

Well thanks, Doc! I'm a DM, too, so I will jump into some more conversations, I think. I'm very much excited about continuing the skirmish game. It's an amazing opportunity.
