I have several that are really good, as you say, but would still like to see official 5e WotC do it right.

Except there was no actual heist in Dragon Heist, as written. For me personally, I'd still love an official book with actual heists in it.

I posted earlier saying I wouldn't be buying any due to the OGL situation, but now that WotC has reversed course I will probably look at purchasing all of these. Top of the list for me is the Phandelver campaign. I really like Lost Mines and Dragons of Icespire Peak, so am very interested to...

If you like that, they also have a very clear description of exactly what their content guidelines are, which could pretty easily be used word for word in the new proposed OGL 1.2 (or at least a strong basis): What are other rules or requirements for my content? More than a platform, Dungeon...

The Program is defined as dmsguild.com, so other OBS sites like DriveThru would not fall into that category. It is fully restricted to dmsguild.com or other authorized platforms.

Finding a readable copy of the DM's Guild license requires a logged-in click-through to actually try to set up a product. Sections 4 and 5 are the parts that describes where content may be used. Community Content Agreement This Community Content Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a binding...

I'm expressly the target audience - I have bought three copies of every 5e book so far, one physical, one on DND Beyond, and one on Roll20. I normally would purchase all of these books three times. As of now, due to the OGL situation, I have no plans to purchase any new WotC content going...

Many products are produced through Kickstarter (or independently) that use the OGL. These are then ported to VTT platforms, which often includes dynamic elements like character builders, compendiums, rollable tables, etc. If the original property was built using the OGL, then whatever content is...

D&D Beyond has over 10 million registered users, and it is becoming the front door for WotC to communicate with their customers. As THE official destination for all things digital D&D, having product in their store with a user base that big would definitely be a big draw for creators. If...

Of course. I totally spaced on that as I was doing the comparison, that of course makes sense for Section 15. Thanks for the reminder on that!

Also in the Copyright, it is now an LLC instead of Inc. The version of the OGL 1.0a that I'm finding (included with the SRD document on WotC site) also includes a copyright for the SRD content before the end of the OGL license. Screenshot for comparison - most of the issues are just formatting...

I'll also be interested to see what happens with things like VTT conversions of Kickstarter adventures. As a Roll20 module or Foundry module isn't a static electronic file like a PDF, will these now require a special license to convert and sell? And will things like Level Up be required to...

My guesses, from years of working in marketing? Merchandise and licensing is the big one. Movies, tv, streaming, video games, toys, ancillary products, partnerships, licensing - these are huge untapped or underserved markets that can expand the brand and revenue. Books will continue being...

I'd love to see a really good starter adventure set. Something along the lines of Phandelver, with a good central location for players to get connected to. Not world spanning, just a local threat that can be built on into a larger homebrew campaign, or extended through a second adventure...

I think you have found the crux of most RPG products.

Check out Household (Household) which just finished their Kickstarter. Seems like it definitely would fit within what you are looking for, although not 5e.

As regards D&D specifically, if you publish exclusively through the DM's Guild the license is less restrictive that the OGL, allowing you to use some trademarked setting or book specific items. There are still specific guidelines, but they allow you to actually set your content within existing...

They talk a little about this in their most recent community round table: Relevant timecode is at about 41:52. Also a bit more at 45:40. They have 8.4+ million accounts. They had a record amount of simultaneous players during Gen Con 2020, over 100,000 players concurrently. They hosted over...

From the Twitch Chat, it sounds like it will be a different book than Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron.

I'd say the article is misleading on this. They have not issued an apology, they issued a statement. I wouldn't expect an apology until they finish their investigation and deal with things - there are too many legal things involved for them to admit specific fault until everything has been...
