[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 7694081, member: 61182"] Dungeon Masters Guild has no connection to the Open Game Licence. The OGL is a non-revokable licence. So nothing in the DMs Guild terms and conditions can ever effect the OGL or any documents released under it (including the 5e SRD). You are not going to see non-D&D content on Dungeon Masters Guild, as it is a separate stream. Essentially, if you want to publish via Dungeon Masters Guild, you are entering into a separate agreement (from the OGL) that allows you greater access to D&D (including Forgotten Realms...and perhaps later other campaign settings) but you are not allowed to publish that content anywhere else except via the DMs Guild website. I would think that this move is more likely to chew away at Pathfinder's 3rd Party Publisher market share than it is to chew away at DriveThru RPG's/RPG Now's 3rd Party Publisher market share. If people have an account with DMs Guild, they have an account with all the other websites. DriveThru RPG provides Print on Demand (and because they use Lightning Source) they have printers in the European Union and can sell PoD products to people in the UK for less money than it costs them to import printed products from US companies that ship to the UK via USPS Priority Mail. To me, this seems like WotC and DriveThru teaming up to take on Paizo. It's D&D and friends vs Pathfinder and friends. Both sides need to roll for initiative. ;) [/QUOTE]
