Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheLe" data-source="post: 6825491" data-attributes="member: 3981">That is correct. Usage of Drizzt is specifically mentioned in the WOTC Licensing faq: <a href="https://www.dmsguild.com/whatisdmsguild.php" target="_blank">https://www.dmsguild.com/whatisdmsguild.php</a>Fighting Styles was a bit of a name drop, I admit. It was originally destined for Rpgnow under a different title, but Weapons of War did very well so I re-branded it. I consulted some customers on Facebook about this and they all told me that "don't sell on DMG unless it is Forgotten Realms based". So there you go. I find it very odd that customers would buy a product simply on the name. For example, if I made a magic item called "Tiamat's Amulet" and sold it on DMG and an identical item called "Blessed Amulet" -- the DMG customers told me they would buy the Tiamat version, even if it's more expensive and does the exact same thing. Truth is stranger than fiction.Thanks. That book's actually very Forgotten Realms heavy -- contains items such as Drizzt's weapons, IcingDeath, Quiver of Anariel, Quiver Anariel, and more. IcingDeath was the hard one to write -- I got on Facebook and consulted a few Drizzt fans to get that sword just right.That being said, the original series continues on Rpgnow under the title "Enchanted Armory" which I did copyright.You could do that, buy in my opinion you should try and create your own brand so you can take it with you if you sell on Rpgnow or elsewhere. I can never sell a future "Drizzt's Armory" on Rpgnow, but I *can* sell "Enchanted Armory", which I've already done:(continued below)<a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/171397/Enchanted-Armory-Rings-of-Power-for-5e" target="_blank">AVailable now at Rpgnow</a><a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/171397/Enchanted-Armory-Rings-of-Power-for-5e" target="_blank">[ATTACH]74660[/ATTACH]</a>Sales on DMG is about equivalent to Rpgnow as far as I can tell. But unlike Rpgnow, DMG doesn't have much in the marketing department, so once your book falls off the top 20 it's kinda gone forever from the customer's minds. Not to mention, DMG takes 50% compared to Rpgnow's 35%. Rpgnow definitely has better tools, like complimentary copies, a coupon creation system, email to customers, and more. I have to do more work to sell on rpgnow, but it leads to higher sales. DMG does well enough for a "fire and forget" retail site. But I could double or triple sales if DMG offered the same tools as rpgnow.My point? You should consider selling on both Rpgnow and DMG.</blockquote>
