Having received clarification from DMs Guild, I have removed the video. Sorry for the confusion!

Awesome, thanks! It can be found here: Greyhawk Campaign Guide - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

Then I look forward to seeing your material on DMs Guild. To me, the choice isn't as cut and dried.

Exactly. But it can still be distributed (for free) under the FCL. That's the choice. Free and free, or earn 50% and get locked in forever. It's not an easy choice.

Not exactly. It can be released for free under the Fan Content License. But once it goes up on DMs Guild, it's exclusively there in perpetuity. Hence my indecision as to whether to do it.

I'm conflicted, to be honest. I did do a quick video on it this afternoon:

I would suggest Castle of the Mad Archmage, which is my homage to Castle Greyhawk. But then, I'm biased. :)

For those interested in Greyhawk 5E material, I've got a ton of it on my website. Just click on "Free Resources" at the top. www.greyhawkgrognard.com

Right here. I'd probably get a tattoo of the AD&D 1E Player's Handbook cover, which is iconic, but getting the 5E logo is sort of... short-sighted.

I disagree with the idea that the OSR is about "rules lite" games in general, and have argued against that idea for years. 1E is most definitely "old school" and it is far from "rules lite". The OSR is about the DIY ethos, and what 1E does that matches that ethos so well is its modularity. You...

Well, there's Goodman Games, Troll Lord Games, and Kenzer. Those would seem to be solid mid-tier companies. If your sole point of comparison is Wizards and Paizo (and maybe Fantasy Flight), then sure, everyone else is going to look smaller by comparison. But that goes for non-OSR publishers like...

For you perhaps, but your experiences aren't everyone's. There are thousands of people for whom a dungeon-centric exploration game is precisely what they expect and enjoy. Look no further than the success of OSR products like Dwimmermount, Stonehell, the Hobby Shop Dungeon (which recently raised...

It'd be interesting to see which products were released under the OGL and which were not.

I'm admittedly biased, but I'll put in a word for Adventures Dark and Deep. It starts with the 1E rules, smooths out a lot of the rough edges, and adds new classes (mountebank, bard, jester, savant, mystic) and tons of new spells, along the lines Gary Gygax was proposing back in the mid-1980's...

We can but hope, TC. I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Joe / GG

It should hopefully be no surprise that I voted for Greyhawk. :-) Honestly, Planescape always felt a little weird to me. I like the wheel, and prefer the focus of the game be on the material plane. But hey, personal taste and all that. I certainly don't begrudge anyone else who wants to play in...

A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore is a supplement book intended for use with other games like LL and S&W, to allow you to add all or some of the new classes and spells, the new treasure rules, the new combat system, etc. as you like. It requires that you already have some other old-school rules...

I get the impression that they learned their lesson from the 4E license fiasco. One of the reasons 4E fell flat was that nobody was writing anything for it but WotC. If they had half the companies writing product for 4E that ended up writing for Pathfinder, I think it could be argued that 4E...

I can't help but wonder if this means that they're gearing up to get prototype rules out to third-party vendors. I know they haven't announced what, if any, open license agreement will accompany the rules, but if they want any sort of robust third-party support, those folks need to start...
