News Re: Fifth Edition and GMDave Rebranding (Patreon)

Hey all,

You're going to notice some changes coming over the next few weeks. Namely, I will no longer be referred to as "DMDave" or "Dungeon Master Dave," nor will my content mention that we directly use and create Fifth Edition content. 

Please note that we will continue to produce adventure/scenario content that can be used with that system, at least for the foreseeable future. And hopefully, make it so the content can be used with any system. And all the previously published content will remain on the site. It's business as usual.

As some of you might expect, this coincides with the upcoming changes that Wizards of the Coast plans to make in the new year with their open gaming license.

These are definitely not changes that I wanted to make, especially as a brand that's been following the legal agreement of Wizards' 2000 open gaming license to a T for the last four years I've been making content for that system. But I have to protect myself and my contractors.

Just know, these aren't decisions that came lightly. We have very good information close to the source that these upcoming legal changes aren't to be taken with a grain of salt. 

I will continue to post updates as we get more information. 

Just know that I love all of you. You've helped us build an amazing thing here, and I'm glad you're all a part of it. And I will continue to deliver the best content I can in 2023 and beyond.

Thanks, everyone!
