Where is DMG MM & PHB in RealmWorks

[bishop618]

This might be a stupid or constant question, but can someone give me a simple person to person answer to where all the content from the official D&D books are? Thanks

What led you to think that Realm Works includes all the official D&D books? It does NOT contain them. So I'm keenly interested to know where you got that impression.

Thanks!

RW is EMPTY when you 1st get it, YOU need to create the content you want in your version of RW. That includes Manuals, Campaigns or even a module....

We're actually going to be launching some FREE content for everyone before the store itself comes online. You can read about that in this newspost.

We also plan on hosting select free community content, in addition to content for purchase in the future.

I don't want to derail this thread, but quick side question:
does this mean all community created content for the content market HAS to be free? I would absolutely pay a small amount for a nice, user created NPC or location.

Of course some content will probably require a license from the IP holder, if that can be obtained.

I guarantee these materials will be in RW not to long after the market opens

In the case of 4e, highly unlikely. The rather permissive OGL was gutted for the 4e GSL, which is little more than a list of terms you are allowed to mention without making Wizards cross. There is virtually nothing in official 4e that we'd be permitted to transcribe into RW :\

The PFRD is run by Paizo so it doesn't run into any IP issues.

The third party one, D20PFSRD, does run into IP issues. It routinely renames things for instance.

WotC has a definite interest in controlling the production and distribution of their IP and may take a very dim view of anyone doing so without a license.

This only happens because d20Pfsrd is now a 3PP publisher and is selling off the website. This means they have to follow the OGL not the Paizo CUP. If you look at something like Archives of Nethys you see it has everything and can even use IP names like Hellknight or names of gods.

If you are 100% free than you can follow Pathfinder CUP instead of OGL giving you allot more leeway in sharing there content. Heck check out the Pathfinderwiki site for all the world information for Golarion.

Meaning pretty much everything from Paizo except Modules/Adventures could go into RW and be shared for free.
