The API might be wishful thinking but I think it would be very good for the user.I don’t see who would ultimately arbitrate this. I don’t see the point if WotC is overseeing themselves. At the same time I would never expect WotC to submit to external arbitration for their own product. That only leaves the court of public opinion which is a terrible way to fairly arbitrate a decision.I get how that would be good for new publishers but I’m sorry I really find the adept publishers useful on DMGuild. There is so much dross on there that having a mark of quality means I can have a bit more confidence in my purchase. I haven’t got time to wade through a hundred PWYW products and I’ve never been disappointed by an Adept product.I really hope they do this. I spent a lot of money on Roll20 over the years and my peference in the short term is to continue. At least until it becomes untenable. I also hope they release the 5.5 on there in a way that leaves it compatible with existing modules and expansions. I don’t know how they do that but It’s possible - even if it costs me $100 in new roll20 modules.Never going to happen. It’s a breach of GDPR to allow third parties to promote to a database where the recipient hasn’t expressly agreed to marketing materials from that third party. If I sign up to D&D beyond marketing I definitely don’t want marketing from other companies I have no control of. If I want to opt into Paizo marketing I can go to Paizo.com and do that.Only seems fair if they’re taking a cut. That said I don’t think it’s hard to find a publishers page if someone wants to do it. I wouldn’t expect them to post links to the same product in a different online store though. How would WotC get their cut of crowdfunded products sold? That could be some very tricky calculations with no way of verifying it, without opening accounts to WotC which I thought was wholeheartedly rejected.How would this be achieved with an online only platform? Why would I not just use a VPN and buy my stuff at heavily discounted prices?I think the suggestions for consumers make a lot of sense but the publisher ideas seem to be largely wishful thinking. Either unreasonable or impractical.</blockquote>
