The "New Normal" and Path Forward post-OGL
Added 2023-04-05 21:20:35 +0000 UTCHey all, I'm aware there's been a big lack of D&D 5e content coming to this Patreon in the last few months since the OGL situation. I wanted to update you all on what I've got planned for the Patreon moving forward and give you all the chance to reach out and let me know what you want to see here!
The Discord Server
I think I am happier with the server right now than I ever have been. I'll be the first to admit; the paid exclusive server was a bad idea. Since revoking that exclusivity and un-Boomerizing myself on Discord apps, we now have reaction-assigned roles and active discussions happening around all kinds of systems!
Is D&D 5e Content Going Away Here?
No. I had a pause due to worries about the OGL legalese, then got started on VAGABOND writing and the Dancer's remaster for Print on Demand. I want to get back on writing material that works--not just for D&D--but potentially other systems as I get more familiar with them and confident with designing for them. I'll be doing more content releases here very very soon.
What's Happening with the Channel?
I have tried multiple different content formats over the years, but the one that is currently working out the best is the livestream format with clips taken from the VODs. Now, I still plan on scripted stuff and have a guide planned to planning a Political Intrigue campaign. I'm always willing to hear out suggestions on what I should be making content on, so feel free to hit me up about that too!
What's Happening Now?
I have something in the works right now with other designers I think you all are going to be very excited for. We'll be making moves on this soon, so stick around because that's going to be a real fun time.
VAGABOND has a Kickstarter coming soon for the development cycle. More info on that soon.
Class Compendium
You all asked for it; it's happening. A hardcover print-on-demand version of all of my DMsGuild classes will be available later this year. I've already started the planning process and I have reached out to other designers for some collaboration on it. It's gonna be a TOME, full of original artwork, so stay tuned!!!
Zodiac Class
The next thing I've got in the works for 5e will be my Zodiac Class. Because I want to use a bunch of spells that Ross and Benjamin wrote around divination and cosmic magic, I'll be releasing this one on the DMsGuild.
Thank you all for sticking in there with me the past couple months. The support here has helped Amanda and I immensely, and I couldn't do what I do without you all.
Comments
I have a big concept in mind for Excaliborg, but a part of it is going to require getting myself familiar with the whole crowdfunding thing. I have the world basically all figured out in my head, but I've got a bunch of other moving pieces happening right now.
2023-04-22 12:08:12 +0000 UTCI'm really curious about your Excaliborg thing, is it still happening? I mean the book, not the game with other TTRPG creators.

2023-04-07 10:22:59 +0000 UTCI love where Vagabond is going, but also happy to hear 5e content isn't going anywhere. As for other systems. I haven't played it yet, but I back the Cypher Systems latest campaign. It includes a starter set.
