Seeking advice on how to package a campaign for sale

If you rewrote how you did all your notes etc. you can probably package it like this exception - just a thought...

a streamlined, bare-bones conversion guide for someone who already owns the classic adventure (i.e., encounter-by-encounter conversion notes with any 5E stats needed, leaving out all other content, augmented with ideas for setting the adventure in the Forgotten Realms);

Yep, this is how Classic Modules does it.

The Wizard's Fan Content Policy is a bit more lenient with use of WotC IP. BUT, it also has the restriction that you can not commercialize or sell it. Note that SmiteWorks does have permission to convert to FG some of the older AD&D stuff, but not to convert it to 5E.

So unfortunately, I think you find yourself in-between the various allowable use cases.

I appreciate the encouragement in other posts to streamline my content to meet the guidelines. But this fan policy looks interesting. I don't think I'd mind sharing it for free - I've put so much effort into this project, it'd be nice knowing it's getting used, free or paid. And the overall product (with my own original maps and edits) can help build my reputation for when/if I do publish my own original content.

Thank-you all, all of the input (the sperate/bundle packaging, the copyright, the encouragement to streamline my work, and the fan policy) has been really great. What a nice community we have here. I'll have to reflect on what path i want to take, I have other projects in the queue, and I have to stay ahead of my players, so those factor into my considerations.

I think the fan policy is likely over ridden by the specific item i quoted earlier about converting adventures. Looks like my work is pooched, unless I gut the whole thing for a barebones version, which in a sense is rewritting 700 pages from scratch.

Q: How does this Policy affect other content policies, like the D&D Dungeon Master’s Guild?

A: This Policy applies to Fan Content generally. If Wizards’ or its partners have provided specific guidelines for your type of Fan Content (e.g., DM’s Guild; D&D Adventurer’s League), please follow those policies.

You dont have to do 700 pages in one go. Do one module at a time.

Hey Damned, I have a question for you.

I have been looking at converting something that has 3 adventures in the one pdf. How would I go about creating a module that contained all 3 adventures?

Do I create separate modules for each adventure, and submit as 1 package? Purpose being that if they download the product, they get all 3 adventures.

You can have more than one adventure in a module.

You can do it either way.
Submit 3 separate modules as one product or combine them into a single module - do what makes sense to you.
