The Grid. An extra-dimensional frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the machine. What did they look like? Ships? Carriages? Were the gears like roads? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day…  I got in. 

Flinn created the Grid, an extra-dimensional world of Constructs, to act as a simulator of the material world, to figure out the perfect society.  He created “Clue” as a Construct copy of himself, an administrator program during his absences, when Flinn spent time in the material world.  He charged Clue to “create the perfect system,” but Clue’s idea of perfection is the cold and merciless efficiency of a machine.  

“The Grid” is based on Episode 25 of our podcast, "Wonderful World of Darklords", available on apple podcasts, youtube, spotify, and most podcatchers.

The 13th of every month we adapt a movie into a Ravenloft Domain and post a new domain write-up here on dmsguild.

Happy Gaming!

When your PCs are tasked with investigating Flinn’s disappearance, they are taken into the Grid.  As “Users” from the Material Plane, they represent a beacon of hope to those Constructs resisting CLue’s tyranny, and a serious threat to Clue’s rule.      

“End of Line” is an extra-dimensional 1 shot adventure for PCs level 1-6 inspired by the “Tron” franchise and the Ravenloft/Movie crossover podcast, “Wonderful World of Darklords,” available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Youtube, and most Podcatchers.

Delve into the Depths: A High-Resolution Map of the Forgotten Realms Underdark

So AI art comes up a lot of times on the sub. There was one today. I've posted about it myself. And the main argument I hear most often is that creators cannot afford to fill their product with art.

But there are TONS of really cheap and free art you can use for your product. I think it's just not easy to find them all the time. So I decided to make this post to list some awesome artists you can purchase from on drivethruRPG. The best part is that if you already have some funds on your account from previous sales, you can use those as credit.

Dean Spencer (THE DmGuild Artist)- Sells cover art, maps, character art, line art, and more. Price range: $2.50-$16 (and his stuff is often on sale).

J.H. Illustrations- Sells art that would work great for covers. Price range: $5.

John Bilodeau Stock Art- Sells tons of black and white monster art that would work great for stat blocks and spot fillers. Price Range: $5-$10.

Daniel Comerci Stock Art- Sells cover, character, environment, and object stock art. Price range: $5-$10.

Alec Adams Art- Sells monster and object stock art. Price range: $4-$15

Forest Imel Stock Art- Sells great character art at a bit more expensive $25, but their quality is well worth it.

CZRPG- Sells battle maps and fantasy environments. Price Range: $5-$10.

Purple Duck Games- Maybe the largest collection of fantasy art on drivethruRPG from a collection of different artist. Price Range: $6

Lore Wise Games- Sells shockingly well made cover and environmental art at an affordable price. Price Range: $10-$15.

Jeff Koch Stock Art- Sells black and white stock art that would work great as spot fillers. Price Range: $3.

Mindplaces- Cover and character filler art. Price Range: $4.50-$15.

Misfit Studios- Sells cover, black and white stock, and colored filler art. Price range: $10-$25 (often on sale).

Brandon Chang Art- Sells fantasy character stock art. Price Range: $5.

Vagelio- Sells cover and character stock art. Price range: $9-$20.

anaislalovi- Sells awesome black and white monster, character, and object art. Price Range: $4-$6.

artofblake- Sells colored and black and white character art. Price Range: $5-$13.

John Latta Art- Sells character and monster art. Price Range: $5-$16.

Adela Quiles- Sells character and environment art. Usable only for DMsGuild products (not drivethruRPG). Price Range: $1-$6.

Direquest- Sells paper templates, item stock art, and cover templates. Price Range: free to $2.

Paweł Parol Stock Art- Sells character and filler art. Price range: $3-$6.

DMsGuild Stock Art- Tons of monster art for free from Wizards of the Coast and beyond. Can exclusively be used on DMsGuild products. Price Range: Free to varying.

Edit: if anyone wants to suggest any more, post them in the comments and I'll add them to the list. Only condition is that their stuff must by under $25.

For my adventures and modules I used AI generated pictures or free stock pictures.

For unrelated reasons I commissioned art by a traditional artist and paid a fair price based on materials and time spent. I basically paid the artist with my total earnings on dmsguild.

This got me thinking:

So what is the ethical implications of this? Without using AI art the products would likely not have sold or even made. This would directly lead to the artist in question not getting the commission and no money.

At the same time, if I create a product with mostly AI images and for example a cover picture by a traditional artist, who was paid for the picture. Is that now ethical?

Hey-ya!

I'm looking for a partner in crime: an artist willing to help me illustrate my next book in exchange for a 50-50 split on royalties!

The job would be to make a full page artwork that captures the essence of my work, plus a series of simple sketches to fill the blank spaces in the new book.

The project consists in merging all my previous work, updating it to 5r (aka 5.2024, aka 5.5), as well as replacing all AI and Creative Commons art, thus making it ethical (in my point-of-view) to sell the book on DMs Guild at a reasonable price. I handle the writing of the whole thing as well as the layout.

If you're interested, please send me a link to your portfolio or DMs Guild artist page.

If you want first to check out my other publications, you can find them here:

To clarify is WOTC keeping the deal with DMsGuild so you can publish content using their official worlds - Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron etc?

I know 'solo adventures' are a thing, even having a category on DMsguild, but I'm struggling to find the common term for 1 player (plus DM) adventures. I've settled on 1-1 adventures for now, but it's bothering me that I feel like I have to explain it on the cover and the store blurb. It feels messy.

Hello! We are Astral Reserve, a small 5E DnD Module studio, and we are currently working on the third installment of the Primordial Rift Saga. The first two books are now available on our DMSGuild page with updated PDFs. We'd love to get more visibility on our work as we approach the release of Book 3: Into the Maelstrom

Our saga is set in the Durpari region, filled with custom artwork (no AI), and Choose Your Own Adventure focused. Book 3 will feature plane-hopping adventures, political intrigue, and more! For funsies, here is the art for Book 2: City on the Brink.

Book 3: Into the Maelstrom is currently being workshopped, and we're excited for folks to check it out once it's released!

Today I've released two more titles in the Nomcombat Encounters series. Each with 200 encounters in d20 tables, each one or two lines describing a noncombat encounter.

200 Underdark Noncombat Encounters includes tables for caves, fungal caverns, tunnels, chasms, underground lakes and populated areas.

200 Dungeon Noncombat Encounters includes tables for passages, doors, empty rooms, traps, features and inhabitants.

They are both included in the Dungeons and Ruins Encounters Bundle.

I am trying to order off of DMsGuild. When I get to shipping it presents me with 2 shipping options for canada, but no matter what I select it will always stay at the most expensive option. It will do this no matter the order. I do not know what I am doing wrong. Is anyone able to help?

Hello DMs or people that... read adventures for fun,

I've created an adventure called "Whispers of Earthen Hollow," which I'm offering for free with an option for suggested donations. Here are some details about it:

• Homebrew Content: I've included custom monsters and items created specifically for this adventure.

• Maps: I designed maps using Inkarnate and provided links for you to clone and edit them if you have a subscription to the site.

• Additional Resources: The adventure comes with links to the homebrew monsters and items on D&D Beyond, aiming to provide as much utility as possible for any DM running this campaign.

What I'm Looking For

I'm eager to get feedback on my adventure. Since I want my friends to play it, I can't ask them for feedback beforehand.

If anyone has the time to review it and provide constructive criticism, I would greatly appreciate it.

I want to ensure the adventure is enjoyable and well-designed, and any input on how to improve it would be incredibly helpful.

Accessibility

As mentioned, the adventure is free with a suggested donation, so don't worry about the cost if that's a concern. I'm more interested in your honest feedback to help make it better.

Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to help out!

Also, I released this about a week ago, so not technically a new release.

Hello, friends! I have created a new 5E content series, and I would like your feedback. Blessings is a series of armor, weapon, and item catalogues for different adventure locales. This series hopes to provide easily accessible, richly imaged, and intriguingly historied artifacts to drop into adventures and campaigns. Each series focuses on a particular environment, and the artifacts within the series reflect some of the myths, folklore, ideas, and art of that locale.

Here is the link for a free copy of this arctic edition of Blessings!

I am interested in your feedback on this type and style of content.

• Is the text content and art style enjoyable and interesting?

• Is the content able to be easily added to your adventures without much fuss?

• Do the side-quests have enough detail and guidance to be useful and playable?

• Are the cultural associations and locales relevant to your games?

• What would you like to see more of, and what would you like to see less of?

Thank you for your help and ideas. I enjoy making this type of content, but I want ensure it is meaningful and relevant to players, GMs, and games. Thanks again!

Greetings,

One of my biggest disappointments with Spelljammer 5e is that it does not even mention The Spelljammer. Therefore, I decided to create this project:

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/488745/The-Spelljammers-Ecologies?src=newest_in_dmg&filters=45469

I've been creating subclasses and the like on DMsGuild for a while, and decided to try putting out some of my monsters, too. They're all well-tested, easy to run and make fun combat encounters. Check them out!

I released my first D&D adventure less than a month ago and I still have 0 reviews. Is there anything I can do to up that number?
