[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7721361, member: 1"] WotC's Dungeon Masters Guild store launched 18-months ago, and was a vehicle for D&D fans to produce material and sell it to other fans in one convenient online mega-store; WotC's version of the App Store, essentially. WotC's Chris Lindsay comments that the store now has thousands of new publishers on the store - something which is both bug and feature. One of the problems with such a large body of content is that it can be tough to find the really good stuff, and WotC has tried to address this is in past with columns highlighting certain products (and, indeed, there are websites which do that very well too, including the ENnie-nominated [URL="http://loottheroom.uk/best-of-dms-guild-july-2017/"]Loot the Room[/URL] which posts a monthly Best of the DM's Guild column). [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] [CENTER] [ATTACH=FULL]111183[/ATTACH][/CENTER] WotC has just launched a new initiative. They have picked ten DMs Guild creators, who they are calling "Adepts", and will be highlighting them in their podcasts and other media going forward, as well as giving them early copies of adventures like the upcoming[I] Tomb of Annihilation [/I]so that they can produce content to go with that product on launch day. They even get a special gold badge so you can spot them on the store! So who are WotC's first Adepts?
