You won't be able to post these adventures here unless you own all the rights to the adventure, artwork, campaign setting and such. Instead, you may want to try to post these over at the Dungeon Masters Guild (https://www.dmsguild.com/), where you can price them as 'Pay What You Want' to access donations. Though, you won't be able to post certain material there, so read the rules first.

Thanks anemeth for removing the link until you find out the process you need to follow. :)

Is there a place to post to get feedback on my development? (Without money involved)

Since you have it on the DMsG, you can send complimentary copies to people who promise to review it for you. They can then give you feedback (this thread would be a good place for that or via email). and then you can update the DMsG version.

To give a complimentary copy, log in, goto Account > Send Complimentary Copy (under My content)
Fill out the form and send :)

The key thing here is still whether the material (books/PDFs/whatever) you use to develop the module has a license that allows you to share the material - i.e. is it copyright protected, is it Open Gaming License (OGL), is it Community Commons, or some other form of license that allows distribution. It doesn't matter if there is no money involved, if the original material is copyright protected you aren't allowed to share that material, in whatever form, with anyone else without breaking copyright.

I assume the tables and charts I put together for the magic item generators and the 'downtime' generator are not as they are just a tool to use with Fantasy Grounds and the guides purchased elsewhere.

Also, I assume the 1990s TSR materials, I updated to use with 5e in fantasy grounds would be copyright protected so they have not been posted. Sadly I looked for the adventures and couldn't find them anywhere.

That being the case is there a place that updates these old adventures and modules for use?

You may take the story skeleton and re-interpret it for 5e. You would need to create your own maps that are not direct copies. You would need to use all your own wording. You would use 5e monsters from the SRD and/or your own home-brew ones. But you cannot do a straight conversion and share it. No one can other than the copyright holder or someone with express permission from the copyright holder.

Okay, I will keep those in house. Sad they don't have a branch that works on updating old content to be used. Most of the older stories were the better ones!

Not sure if the ones you are using are this old, though.

The way I read the license for Ultimate Campaigns from which the downtime generator comes and the DMG from which the generators come, I think you would be okay sharing these on a not-for-profit basis. So, where are they?

As long as the material is both covered by the OGL. Ultimate Campaign is published under the OGL, but the DMG is not. If the DMG material is also in the SRD then use the material specifically from the SRD. And include a relevant OGL statement in any material you distribute.

I said DMG but I meant PFRPG Core Rules. Fortunately, Trenloe read my mind in what I really intended and had the right answer. I have to believe the tables he's talking about are in the SRD.

After talking with some other builders, I took it down and am fine tuning, separating, adding, whatever else you want to call it.

Magic Shop and Haggle Option are up:
