Paizo and DriveThruRPG Expand their Partnership to offer Paizo’s Full Title Catalog

Posted on by

Paizo and DriveThruRPG have expanded their partnership to offer Paizo’s full title catalog in PDF from both DriveThruRPG and the Pathfinder and Starfinder Infinite marketplaces. Over 1,200 Pathfinder and Starfinder titles will now be available as PDF, with printed options and connections to Paizo’s store coming soon. These PDFs include the latest Pathfinder and Starfinder second edition remastered titles, as well as first edition materials, fiction, and audiobooks. This will give players the chance to dive deeper into the world of Golarion or the Pact Worlds, opening up new adventures and creativity to bring to the table.

Paizo and DriveThruRPG have a long history of working together, most notably on the Pathfinder and Starfinder Infinite programs and marketplaces which offer independent creators the opportunity to publish works within the official Pathfinder and Starfinder settings. Until now however, Paizo’s own official titles were not available on DriveThruRPG.

The companies also announced that in the months ahead, DriveThruRPG would also offer most Paizo titles for sale in print, and that the companies would be implementing Paizo Connect. With Paizo Connect, customers will have the option to connect their accounts at Paizo’s website with DriveThruRPG and sync their PDF libraries and purchases across both sites. Ownership of PDFs offer Paizo fans several benefits with Paizo and its licensed partners, while ownership on DriveThruRPG allows fans the conveniences of DriveThruRPG’s library including apps to keep your library up to date on PCs and devices.

Dungeon Masters Guild Opens as a Marketplace for D&D Creations

Posted on by

Dungeon Masters Guild 2Wizards of the Coast is shaking Dungeons & Dragons up again with the announced of the Dungeon Masters Guild. Part of the endurance of the classic roleplaying game is the ability of players to create their own adventures, characters, rules, creatures, and more. However, there’s been a lack of a convenient outlet to share them with gamers beyond your circle. You either had to raise money to publish a physical book or zine on your own, or convince a publisher you had the chops. Now, the Dungeon Masters Guild puts the power to share that creativity firmly in the hands of the DM.

The Dungeon Masters Guild is a collaboration between Dungeons & Dragons and DriveThruRPG, and it is designed to support and reward folks – whether you’re an experienced DM or just starting out. Today, you can upload your creations to the DMs Guild website, as well as browse submissions from some of gaming’s most esteemed designers.

For the first time ever, you’ll be able to self-publish material set in the Forgotten Realms using monsters, spells, characters, and locations previously unavailable. Set your side trek in Neverwinter or Baldur’s Gate, have your characters go toe-to-toe with the Xanathar, the beholder crime lord of Waterdeep, or fall in with some traitorous drow in Menzoberranzan. With some exceptions noted on the DMs Guild website, the Forgotten Realms is at your fingertips.

You can set whatever price you like for your creation; you can give your new monster away for free or charge a few gold coins. If you do decide to ask for money, you’ll get half of the revenue while DriveThruRPG and Dungeons & Dragons will split the other.

Creators can upload whatever kind of Forgotten Realms material they’d like to the Dungeon Masters Guild, but we’ll be featuring side treks, monsters, and backgrounds on the site. For now, the Guild is only accepting Forgotten Realms material that uses the fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. For everything else, Wizards of the Coast has updated the Open Gaming License so that publishers can continue releasing their own material.
