Hey everyone!
I just got off the phone with Noah Downs, my attorney, to ask if I should go ahead and share this, and he gave me the go-ahead.

Hey folks,
We know you have had some questions regarding what we know about the new Open Gaming License and how it could affect things around here. Unfortunately, I couldn't say much about it because 1) we wanted to protect our sources and 2) without an official source backing up what we knew, we knew it'd be easy for W...

Happy new year, folks!
I hope you had a safe and wonderful evening last night. The wife and I got a date night out to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We watched Glass Onion and Dirty Dancing.
Here's a look at what to expect in January and in 2023

I'm working on a new project (that TOTALLY has nothing to do with all the hubbub going on, I SWEAR), and I need some species.
Basically, it's a fantasy roleplaying setting (I SWEAR, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OPEN GAMING LICENSE CHANGES) with your traditional Tolkienesque species. However, I want to tos...

You're going to notice some changes coming over the next few weeks. Namely, I will no longer be referred to as "DMDave" or "Dungeon Master Dave," nor will my content mention that we directly use and create Fifth Edition content.

Since we've got a bit more bandwidth, plenty of licensed art, and a whole cadre of writers, I might try my hand at creating longer adventures, probably in the realm of 32 to 64 pages (12 - 24k words).
While I don't want to keep to a specific schedule, I think me and the team can reasonably assemble a...

The last two Kickstarter projects are in a good state right now. Hand of the Eight/Pexia are printing with final samples on the way, and Gamemaster's Survival Guide is completely written save for a few articles I'm tossing in for fun.
Now, it's time for me to start thinking ab...

I'm finally getting a chance to write a follow-up adventure for the Gargoyle Cathedral adventure I wrote about a month ago.

January will be here before we know it, so the writers and I are already starting to whip up the adventures for then. I think we're going to do a series of winter-themed adventures for Dungeons & Lairs so they're a little easier to package with our forthcoming adventure series.
Below, I've listed al...

Just a heads-up, but we're having issues with our Foundry Importer. We're trying to reach out to the devs involved, but aren't having any luck getting in touch with them. As soon as we do, we'll release the latest Foundry pack.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
