D&D 5E Now Using OGL and Self Publishing

[Draculetta]

Dungeons & Dragons fans, take note: Self-publishing has just come to Forgotten Realms. Wizards of the Coast has just announced the “Dungeon Masters Guild,” an e-publishing site for self-publishing D&D adventures and other content set in the Forgotten Realms.

There’s a new way to buy and share D&D adventures. With the Dungeon Master’s Guild, you’ll be able to self-publish material set in the Forgotten Realms using monsters, spells, characters, and locations.

One could technically already publish 5th Edition content under the current OGL and existing copyright law Goodman Games and Troll Lord Games are already doing this, but for those of us who are not lawyers and do not understand much when it comes to copyright, the SRD basically tells you exactly what you can and cannot publish related to the D&D rules in your own work. Now we can put stuff out there without worrying about C&D letters from Hasbro/WOTC lawyers.

This is BIG news that they have opened up 5E to the OGL (Open Game License) This means MORE Content (Monsters/Races/Modules) Soon.
