[QUOTE="SMHWorlds, post: 8161482, member: 6853809"] As we close out 2020, we wanted to offer up some last bits available for you on the DM’s Guild. In the coming year we will try and delve deeper into DM Guild offerings in more detail, with roundups and quick reviews and extras. As always if you have a product you would like reviewed, let us know. We have a bit of a backlog, but I promise we will get to everyone if possible.
