    DMs Guild Pay What You Want on the DMs Guild - An Analysis and Explanation

    Yeah, admittedly, there are some folks who simply can't afford to be buying stuff, and I feel for them, but there is honestly piles and piles of other free stuff available to them all over the store and rest of the Internet. They won't miss it if PWYW goes away (or stops getting used by people)...

    Is this DMPC okay?

    Some players don't like to share the spotlight with DMPCs but they can be kept busy making sandwiches, going on beer runs, and washing the car in the driveway (weather permitting). *edit* BTW, I'd post more thoughts but in the "Legacy" mode of EN World, I can only see the thread title and the...

    The EN World Best Sellers List 4Q2015

    For those having the free product downloads discussion, I can tell you that since roughly eight and a half years ago (09-2007) the The Cooperative Dungeon Collection (01 - 04) (as a bundle, not available individually since this time) has had 115K downloads through OBS sites. Prior to that time...

    D&D 5E (2014) Expedition based adventuring

    It might be good to RP the group leaving with the laborers and all of them saying goodbye to spouses, children, etc. Maybe even have a little kid ask the adventurers to promise to keep their parent safe. :p

    [Feb 2016] What are you watching?

    Agent Carter, Grimm, Sleepy Hollow, Big Bang Theory, and Black Sails are shows I try not miss. I do not miss X-Files, Elementary, The Expanse, or The Blacklist. War and Peace has been good, from what I have seen, and Supergirl as well. I'll probably catch up with Shannara when I can binge it...

    OGL Questions About "Grey Area"

    Still bad advice. No one knows what David Kenzer knows: his reasons, his situation, or his agreements and understandings with WotC. In all likelihood, something he does might go unchallenged but bring WotC down on another, given Kenzer's history with WotC. Furthermore, the OGL provides safe...

    OGL Questions About "Grey Area"

    Incredibly bad advice. 1.) 4E was not released under the OGL. 2.) That linked sample has no OGL attached to it and even at a glance makes obvious errors that wouldn't be allowed under the OGL like using the term Dungeon Master, etc. 3.) We have no idea if the supplement whence that sample...

    Foyal's war - Who has seen it?

    Start from the beginning and watch it all the way through in seasonal binges. I did that over the last couple of summers and enjoyed the hell out of it.

    DMs Guild Stat Blocks the OGL, SRD, and DMs Guild: A question

    DMs Guild Stat Blocks the OGL, SRD, and DMs Guild: A question

    Don't "mimic" as it doesn't really serve you and becomes a trade dress copyright issue. However, look around at the various third party OGL products for 5E and if an overall standardized form is in use, emulate that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Community Content Enforcement in the DM's Guild (Does it literally even?)

    Thanks for the info. I imagine those who subscribed will have to be understanding if it becomes impossible to finish the series (though it would seem the numbers aren't going to drive WotC to cancel in any event). In that regard, I suppose the DMs Guild is a different animal since it involves...

    D&D 5E (2014) Community Content Enforcement in the DM's Guild (Does it literally even?)

    Can you continue to sell 4E GSL'd products as print or PDF if they cancel the license? Not just make new ones but sell ones already being sold?
