[QUOTE="Scorpienne, post: 6799869, member: 39774"] Reddit AMA - here's my take. You should look at Mike and Chris' answers and draw your own conclusions. [url]https://www.reddit.com/user/mikemearls[/url] [url]https://www.reddit.com/user/Onnatryx[/url] There is a hope that reviews/ratings will help sort the items on DMsGuild. They are focusing on PC stuff because that's their biggest demand. (Classes and that kind of thing.) More art coming to DMsGuild. Can use FR specific monsters, NPCs, and spells in DMsGuild. Nothing in the store is okay for AL play *except* the adventures that are clearly marked adventurers league. There are no plans to pull modules that people have written for the store into DDAL. No plans currently for mods to retire. If they change their minds, they'll let us know well ahead of time. It is totally okay if you want to play around with one or more of the other continents in the Forgotten Realms. Kara-tur, Al-Qadim, and Maztica are totally part of the DMs Guild allowed content. Stores will get a free launch event package, including an adventure. They can run the adventure week after week if they want to. The season 4 launch event will be directly from the print product. After that the following seasons launch events will be brand new material. WotC will reach out to people who've published good stuff to create more or revise it for an AL or published product. Mike Mearls "We've seen what happens when we do too much content, so the plan is to take things slow." No news on digital versons of the 5E core rulebooks. No other logos provided, only the DMsGuild logo. You can reference other material in the DMsGuild in your DMsGuild document, as well as materials that WotC has made available under it, but not things OUTSIDE the DMsGuild. MM says the DM and/or players "should" purchase the mod to run in a store (rather than the store). But it wasn't a clear "must". Reporting tables played - it only helps a store increase their WPN credit. If they don't need to increase their credit, then they don't have to be bothered with reporting. Reporting for home play is entirely unnecessary. Don't intend to add any more material to the SRD (other than necessary updates). You can add a color quote from a FR novel, but don't take paragraphs wholesale. If you're writing for DMsGuild, you can absolutely use beholders and illithids and all of the other proprietary monsters. Forgotten realms stuff includes anything that was published with a forgotten realms logo on it. You can play the encounters stuff at home now. Several people want to convert old mods to 5E. That's legal for DMsGuild IF you put it in the realms. They hope authors will do more than a straight conversion and put their own spin on it. [FONT=verdana] [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
