I'm a freelance writer looking to start publishing my own material on DMs Guild. What are the odds of Curse working out licensing with WotC to allow public homebrew within the same realm as what's permitted on DMs Guild? So say, if I publish a new race on DMs Guild, I can also create a public homebrew version here? (Or update an old race/monster/whatever to publish on DMs Guild, etc.)
Alternatively, I'd probably see about including instructions on how customers can create it themselves (because I really love DDB and want to support it as much as possible), but that's a less than ideal workaround. It'd be awesome if you could work it out so that the domain of what's permitted over on DMs Guild would also be permitted here as well for public homebrew. Just a thought.
Can't give you an official answer, but I notice that Matt Mercer's Blood Hunter is available here and on DMs Guild; so there's some precedent. But a) DDB is sponsoring Critical role and b) Matt's Blood Hunter is Pay What You Want on DMs Guild and free here. No doubt working out licensing and related issues would be more complicated for DMs Guild material that was for sale (as opposed to free/PWYW). [The Tortle Package is another crossover, but I that was a WOTC product]
I agree, though, it would be nice, and I think it's been requested before, so you aren't the only one hoping for this.
