D&D 5E (OGL Stuff poll) And YEA shall the FLOOD GATES open and DELUGE the gamers

[TerraDave]

I want good fun Forgotten Realms-based adventures more than anything. Specifically, I want a sequel to Lost Mine of Phandelver. Or at least a new adventure that can be easily used right after finishing the Starter Set adventure.

Short adventures are the most popular option. And conveniently, there is a plan for that. Including FR ones.

3e taught me to restrict my campaigns to official first party crunch. I shan't look at 3PP crunch.

So what this development can offer me is mainly adventures, preferably campaign-independent (or FR which amounts to much the same thing)

Honestly, you should probably write whatever inspires you. Writing material because the ENWorld focus group says it's wanted probably isn't the best idea.

That said, I'm most interested in more monsters, for now. Once I get to 1,000 of the beasties, that will change.

Why isn't there an option for "all of the above"? lol

It's a multiple choice poll, so you can create your own. Sadly, it's a bit more work, but then since "all of the above" would technically include "NOTHING" that's perhaps not literally what you want.

1. Option A
2. OPtion B
3. Option C
4. Option D
5. All of the above
6. Nothing


Problem solved!

See, now you're just being silly.

I voted "nothing" because at this edition round I really wouldn't want to allow 3rd-party stuff in our games, only either WotC or homebrew. But of course exceptions will be possible, if done right.

Overall I think the standard game needs more subclasses and feats, so while WotC doesn't publish enough of them, I may allow some from 3PP.

Secondarily, the DM can always benefit from more monsters and magic items even if 3PP, since she has always total control over them.

So far

Adventures: Short 68.32%
Sub-classes 49.50%
Monsters 49.50%
DM Tools (high level, castles, warfare, etc) 49.50%
Backgrounds and other PC stuff 43.56%
Magic Items 41.58%
Classes 39.60%
Adventures: Path 39.60%
D&Desque Settings 34.65%
Races 33.66%
Equipment 32.67%
Spells 31.68%
NPCs 31.68%
Horror/gothic setting/rules based on 5E 24.75%
Space/sci-fi setting/rules based on 5E 24.75%
Post-apocalyptic setting/rules based on 5E 23.76%
Pulp/alt-fantasy settings/rules based on 5E 23.76%
Modern spy/actions setting/rules based on 5E 18.81%
Cross-over (dwarves in space!) setting/rules based on 5E 16.83%
Gods 13.86%
Other!! 11.88%
NOTHING 6.93%

We are already seeing the first three on the DG. DM tools, settings, adventures paths probably more an SRD thing, though I guess you could also do tools on the DG.

And not enough of you appreciate dwarves in space.

To be honest, the thing I see the most room for is short adventure support, and I voted in that way. But that can probably be handled by the Guild, as easily or more easily than via the OGL, and I'd be happy with that.
