I know you're not the only one. Grim Press had announced a new extension on twitter, but by the time I clicked on it, it had already been removed from dmsguild.

Honestly, I still kind of feel my new Combat Groups extension is still the ONLY one effected by all this. As they have yet to deactivate any of my other extensions.

So glad to hear FG is going to move forward on this portal for sure.

Having said that - I can't say I'm pleased with the "unknown" factor on what to do next. For sure I'm not going to punish people who have bought my extensions by putting them out for free now. I'd rather do nothing than screw over people who supported my extensions early on.

So right now - my options appear to be - wait and see if there is any more clarity from FG and DMsG, because I absolutely never expect that sort of thing out of WOTC.

Is there a way I can buy your combat group ext. privately? DragonBetween(UTC-7)#9389 Is my discord Id

This is not the first time that WoTC has had previously allowed content pulled. Character sheet automation was banned once they had a license with Curse that became D&D Beyond. D&D Beyond is now being used to power play on Roll20 (they are licensed but don't sell books in their system) and Foundry (no license). Content is being scraped from D&D Beyond as well.

Doug has a good relationship with WoTC (he was the first VTT to get the 5e license and managed to get AD&D licensed which I never thought would happen). He has already said that he had a solution to sell extensions started and is advanced in considering turning it on. I would assume that DMsGuild will be slow in taking other action until Doug has something ready. He has always done better for the community than I have seen almost any other business leader do, so if he says he is trying to get a good solution turned on, I trust him.

I don't like that WoTC "owns" the code on DMS Guild as I always thought that Smiteworks would have easy access to it if they wanted to work with the programmer to incorporate it into the ruleset.

Seems there are some who think Hasbro is cleaning up house in order to shop/sell WOTC? The two licensing lawsuits seem to indicate they want to tie up any loose ends to package things nicely. Maybe this is a result of an in house audit of licensing and such?

That was an article with terrible reasoning. MtG is the jewel in WoTC, not D&D.

Not at this time I'll let you know when it has a home though. Grim Press will likely be doing something in the near future for this one.

((slaps forehead)) Oh. Now I got it. You're "Grim Press"? I'm sorry. I didn't know that. That said: I LOVE Grim Press stuff and was really looking forward to that new one.

I'm not grim press :) They handle my extension marketing now though as I'm simply to lazy to do it. I don't know where they post stuff but evidently twitter is one place - I don't even have a twitter account :)
