I was a fan of the original Elminster novels, but I lost my love for them as the WotC machine had Ed churn them out over 3rd edition's run. I still thoroughly enjoy the character, even though he is far more fragile in my own campaigns, and is used more as a Gandalf the Grey or Dumbledore role of...

In my years as a GM across many systems and platforms of play, the adventure materials are only as good as the game master running them. This is extremely evident in one of the oldest adventures, T1: the Village of Hommlet. Everything is dished out haphazardly and is poorly detailed, however a...

I'm currently working on a product to be eventually released on the Dungeon Masters Guild, but I have a question I couldn't find an answer for on the website. Are you able to later change a product's title, or must you post a modified version of the original product under a new title? In...

I'm also waiting a bit before I really dig in, however a big turnoff for me is lack of playtesting in the presented material. It seems nearly everything released is based on mechanic over narrative, and for me, that must be playtested. Narrative/fluff releases? I'm in.

I like using the Mind, Body & Soul approach to the three facets if casting. Mind is obviously psionics, Body is arcane magic(because the Weave runs through all things), and Soul is the divine through your unique bond to a deity or divine spark.

The answer to the OP should be: Whatever solution allows equal enjoyment for all players involved. As a GM, I'd allow a new character, but I would request a specific background and a lead-in session. Either an underdark race or a slave the group breaks free. I would never, ever force a single...

I plan on eventually putting out some products, after I watch how the Guild plays out for a time. It looks like there are plenty of kinks to work out.

Konigheim is in the novel mentioned above, as well as briefly being mentioned in Dragon Annual #3, but no location is really described, to my knowledge. Possibly on an Al'Qadim or Kara-Tur official map?

Are you talking DM/PC is one and the same-type solo, or one DM and one PC? There are a few popular, albeit older solo game book adventures. Joe Devers wrote some with his Lone Wolf series(now under the purview of Cubicle 7), but not for D&D. Something like that, using D&D as the framework, could...

The Sempadan Forest was the southernmost tip of Faerun before reaching uncharted lands, which eventually became Zakhara(Al'Qadim) years later. It looks like it is now a forest within the Utter East. http://www.candlekeep.com/images/sitegfx/mt_uttereast7.jpg The biggest mountain range on Toril...

With him being in the Harpers, having varied languages can be very important, depending on his role within the group. I'm with Boneguard on taking Draconic. If memory serves, most magical writing is done in the Draconic alphabet, so that is a necessity for magic research and study. Since you are...

Many go with one level lower. Older edition campaigns tend to force PCs to enter at level 1, regardless of the party level. Very 'Gygaxian'. I tend to bring them in at the same level as the party average, however some players can turn into whiners about then not earning it. Luckily, I don't...

That's probably enough of the pirated PDF conversation in the AMA thread. It's just back and forth, with not a lot to contribute to the topic anymore. I posted a question a page ago, asking if Sage Advice and Unearthed Arcana articles are fair game to use in DMs Guild products. Does anyone know...

Did they mention if Sage Advice/Unearthed Arcana web material are available to use within the DMs Guild?

My top 3. Psionic/planes book. Dungeoneers guide. Wilderness guide. A 4th book would be something like the d30 Sandbox Companion.

The "I don't want to pay full price" age we now live in has facilitated the DLC movement. The percentage of quantity>=price has fallen off, making small transactions seem more financially possible for those without disposable incomes. I'm interested in seeing the quality aspect of it all, as so...

Well, it's a business day in which a majority of Americans do not have work or school, so most would be casually surfing the net, I'd suppose.

The DMs Guild release podcast with Mearls and co. It's around 50+ minutes.

I'm surprised to not see the whacky, awkward questions this time about monster sexual anatomy and interspecies reproduction. Someone usually goes there. I downloaded the podcast and I'm looking forward to listening to shortly.

I like that idea. A wizard dabbling in divine magic as a tradition, using some Cleric methods to reach his goal.
