I don't know a lot about how DMs Guild works, other than what you upload can't relate to any particular non-fat run d&d setting, and you get to use any d&d art packs they uploaded.

Are you allowed to compile and update old OOP materials on DMs Guild?

Are there any good existing faerunian lore based DMs Guild products you would recommend?

"Is there something you want filled in?"

More detail on the ancient past, mostly. Arcane age and earlier.

It's a pretty niche subject, but it's one I'm very interested in.

More crunch and less lore, but I've got a decent amount of lore. Its usable throughout Faerun with some focus on Thay and Rashemen and the red wizards.

Btw, @Sylrae, CK has a subforum dedicated to DMGuild works, if it can help: http://forum.candlekeep.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=36

have to post this here because I'm a shameful shill.

Honestly, do what the writers do.

find a niche that nobody's covering and fill it in.

It's why bob salvador did the upper north corner when he started when the rest of the map was pretty filled out.

Is there something you want filled in?

Half's not bad, considering you don't own the setting.

I may have to take a stab at writing something, myself.
Irennan Posted - 19 Oct 2016 : 01:01:49
All those products have been written by CK scribes. You're allowed to write anything except fiction (although that's kind of up in the air at this point. Ed will be publishing some fiction there soon, but then, he's Ed). Idk if you can take a 2e book and just replace the mechanics with their 5e equivalent, but I guess not. You're allowed to use whatever lore has ever been released about the Realms, tho. As for profit, you get half of the money.

Huh.

Those do indeed look interesting.

Has anyone here made any dms guild content?

How does it work? What are you allowed or not allowed to make? How do the profits work?

I assume you're not allowed to take an old 2e source and simply update any mechanics to 5e,but are you allowed to write new sources that take their information from various source books and novels?
