[QUOTE="Nixlord, post: 9020795, member: 77670"] Hi, I just want to share a decision I made earlier this year regarding MME IV. I promised to release MME IV in late 2023 but I have decided to pause my work on it. This is due to two reasons: 1. The announcement of the OneD&D/5.5 revision of the official books that will come out in 2024. It would be wise for me to wait until I get my hands on a copy of the new MM so I can review the new styles and standards and apply them. As you are probably aware, releasing a book and then having it prepped for Print-on-Demand is a long tedious process. And then having to do it all over again because of needed revisions and updates is a time-consuming headache. 2. Circumstances have changed and now with the announcement of the planned D&D Beyond marketplace, this has left us 3rd party DMsGuild developers slightly vulnerable. Even with the official statement that OGL/SRD will stay, we have no idea yet how that new marketplace will work (and if even DMsGuild will be allowed to continue). Thus, I will wait for more concrete details about WoTC's plans before I continue working on MME IV. So for now, I am focused on releasing [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragonixs-deadly-denizens-monsters-and-stls.687842/']Volume I of Dragonix's Deadly Denizens[/URL], an annual collection of the monthly bestiary you can acquire by subscribing to my [URL='https://www.patreon.com/dm_dragonix']Patreon.[/URL] In fact, some of the creatures I've planned to be part of MME IV I have now moved to Dragonix's Deadly Denizens (fiendish dragons, half-fiend templates, etc.). Some of these were actually ideas I got from this thread. Basically, any OGL/SRD-legal creature will now be placed in Dragonix's Deadly Denizens while those that require a DM's Guild license will be part of MME IV. So fret not, you will still get a new bestiary this year (in the form of [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragonixs-deadly-denizens-monsters-and-stls.687842/']Dragonix's Deadly Denizens Volume I[/URL]) via DrivethruRPG (very soon!) and, if my [URL='https://www.patreon.com/dm_dragonix']Patreon[/URL] continues to grow, you'll get a new volume every year. You can expect the same level of quality and artwork from the MME series. [ATTACH type="full"]284969[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
