Kyle Brink, Executive Producer on D&D, has posted on DnDBeyond. A Working Conversation About the Open Game License (OGL) Another apology, which most will take with a grain of salt at this point. Some clarification on what is planned, and a draft document+survey coming up on January 20 or...

Based on what evidence? Has there been any leaked directive specifically authored by Chris Cocks from 12+ months ago? Chris Cocks may have agreed with Cynthia Williams that DnD was "under-monetized", but that can mean any number of things not having to do with the OGL, including Mr. Cocks'...

IMO, the WotC execs in charge of DnD brand and licensing would be the adversary for this particular conflict, not the Hasbro overlords. The Hasbro overlords are the ones who can replace and/or fire the WotC execs in charge of DnD brand and licensing. The Hasbro overlords care about profit...

Using an orb of dragonkind is an extremely risky affair. Once used, the proud dragons will never forget their grudge against a lesser being using them as slaves. If other dragons learn of the orb's existence, a flight of dragons, comprised of dragons from all types and alignments, might...

For anything that requires funds, the modern era has produced the realm of crowd-sourcing. For everything else, there's Mastercard.

To Hasbro, less sales is less sales. No matter how shady a WotC exec could possibly be, they won't escape questions from their Hasbro overlords. It's not about having "ANY" sales, it's about how many total sales are met for the quota that Hasbro has applied to WotC. If WotC has failed to...

Realistically, WotC will probably never go for ORC. Adding the term "irrevocable" to the OGL (1.0a --> 1.0b?) would potentially be the solution that works it out. Having the other companies using both (irrevocable added version) OGL and the anticipated collab-driven ORC might be the best case...

I think an exception should be argued for DMsGuild Community Creator products, since not everything needs to be boycotted to achieve the objective of grabbing Hasbro's attention and focusing that attention on the WotC execs responsible for managing the DnD brand and related licenses. To...

It's the boycotters threatening the creators on DMsGuild, not the potential OGL change; sales are dropping for creators atm already. It's like throwing out the baby with the bathwater - unnecessarily hurting small developers. DND Beyond, Toys, cards, 1st-party stuff --- DMsGuild creators could...

There's a lot of content, particularly setting-related books, that can't be published elsewhere but DMsGuild, and the creators contractually can not move their products from DMsGuild to another site. A lot of projects that haven't been published yet likely can't be published elsewhere but...

I'm a little worried about how people are going to treat their spending on DMsGuild, because it's a slap in the face to tell a writer that their work on a project months to years in the making might be boycotted because some marketing/business/legal executive at Hasbro/WotC made poor decisions...

According to 3e Player's Guide to Faerûn, psionics is a form of magic that a creature can use by forming a personal Weave inside their minds. As such, rather than using an environmental Weave to channel the raw magical energy of their environment, the psionics user draws the energy into their...

A damaging ranged/AoE spell plus a fragile ceiling to cave in heavy material over the dome, making the dome an effective trap for the domed mage unless they can teleport out, phase through the rubble, dig themselves a tunnel, etc. --- it's a gamble but if the domed mage didn't prepare the right...

I'm a little late to this thread, but I designed a full class workup for a 5e Swordmage project on DMsGuild. It's PWYW so you can type 0.00 in the price box to download for free and buy again later if you want to toss a coin to the writer. The Swordmage (5e Class) - Dungeon Masters Guild |...

The most important aspect of published lore imo is the time it saves having to come up with stuff on one's own. Probably the majority of people who play DnD have a lot of responsibilities outside of their DnD campaigns, so being able to save time by having ready-to-use material can greatly...

I was really hoping that WotC would use Dragon+ magazine to pad out things in 5e but it ended up mostly about upcoming releases and advertisements, and now even Dragon+ is discontinued. The community at DMsGuild and third party sites like EN World are now where the add-ons and mods for DnD are...

Due to the temporary and timing-capable nature of the material change, it may be possible to set up traps for enemies with some careful rigging.

I recently updated the mechanics playtest document (in addition to the main preview document) for my Realmspace project on DMsGuild, which includes abstract rules for ship maneuvering to cover high speed combat, chases, crash landings, etc. -- It might help with your Spelljammer gameplay...

To see how progress can produce Hell, one can try visiting a cubicle floor in an office building. Waka waka.
