    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    For Paizo, the most straightforward option seems to be just writing their own license and publishing under that? PF2 content has never needed the OGL except it's a convenient already-written license. The actual impact is folks like MCDM or Kobold Press who do publish 5e content under the OGL and...

    WotC Announces OGL 1.1 -- Revised Terms, Royalties, and Annual Revenue Reporting

    It's worth noting that there's basically nothing WotC can do about CR/Dimension 20 merch; they've all been very carefully to build their own IP that's separate from core D&D, which is why the shadowy patron in season 1 of the animated series is "The Whispered One". As an Eberron fan, it's too...

    Sales ribbon uses a total $ sales metric that decays over 60 days. POD options REALLY boost you up on the ribbon because even if you're not making additional profit per sale, people are still spending twice as much to get your product. The real test is in six weeks when the day 1 sales have...

    D&D 5E Chronicles of Eberron Is Keith Baker's New D&D Book, out now!

    So, it's been a week and a half; how have people liked the book thus far? I've got a player who's pretty excited by the Crossbow content for their next character, so that was a win.

    I know Anthony Turco is planning to do a big 1D&D update of all the Rising content for the dmsguild come 2024, I've gotten a peak at his early drafts of dragonmarks-as-feats.

    D&D 5E Chronicles of Eberron Is Keith Baker's New D&D Book, out now!

    So, do people have favorite chapters? My personal favorites are 2 and 3, the crossbows article was an all time favorite from the blog and I've always felt the nobility got too little attention in canon compared to the houses. From the back half of the book my favorite is Ghost Stories, undead...

    I have a feeling this thread might be more active over the weekend once people have a chance to sit down and read the delicious book.

    This might be the appropriate moment to reveal I've had the book for a while now, I'm credited as a playtester.

    One culture Keith didn't suggest as an option for firearms that I've used in my games is the Sulatar Drow; they're already ALL ABOUT fire, and in my Eberron they're working on building up an empire in Xen'drik.

    D&D General Fun Experiment: Post a cool bit of (mostly) unknown lore from your favorite setting (+)

    Eberron: The highest-level character in Sharn canonically is Maza Thadian, who in 3.5 was a lawful neutral elf commoner 17. She's the owner and head chef of one of the city's best-regarded restaurants, as well as the city councilmember for Upper Northedge.

    Yeah if you want physical copies definitely wait to order ExE with Chronicles so you can get them shipped together. Lore-wise, Sharn is like NYC in marvel comics; absolutely overdone, but also a hugely core part of the experience that sells people on the setting. Rising is very much an "updated...

    Yeah, so the other picture you're thinking of is the same Jeremy Crawford OC, the gnome Artificer Vi, who he's played in Acquisitions Inc. and uses as a recurring NPC when he runs the game. He uh, has a very different view of the setting from the rest of the fanbase
