Very interesting analysis by @Jcorvinstevens on product sales on the DM’s Guild. If it costs you about $1,000 to make a $5 product on the DM’s Guild, it needs to be a Gold seller to break even. About 7% of current titles on the DM’s Guild are Gold sellers or above. #dnd https://twitter.com/Jcorvinstevens/status/1309111506748018689

Not being able to sell a product outside of the Guild makes it harder to break even but not being able to Kickstart a Guild product makes it especially hard. Kickstarter helps you gauge interest /before/ you put up that initial investment. #dnd

The DM Guild’s greatest advantage, however, is being able to use WOTC IP in your product and write in their game worlds. That’s a huge and valuable deal. If you want to write in their worlds, there’s no other place to do it and this lets you do it and make a buck. #dnd
