Hello, everyone. It’s Rob here. I'm the Executive Director of Gold Mountain Games and I wanted to write this post personally. As I am sure you are aware, Wizards of the Coast is changing the Open Game License, and although the final version has not been released yet, it is clear that the outcome is not going to be good. Many small production companies like GMG are going to find it impossible to keep creating content for 5E under these new rules, and sadly many will cease to exist.
Gold Mountain Games will not be one of those: we have a plan to move us forward, and this involves many steps. We will be stopping our Kickstarter and stream and releasing some of our 5E content for free in the coming weeks. From there, we will be giving more content to support this through our Patreon. This will include some of the art, cities, lore, and music to accompany the mechanics in the free release.
The next step is for us to find a new system to write our world in. We have several options for this, and are also considering writing our own system. Ultimately we will be making the decision that best suits our setting and provides you, the players, with the best experience.
So please, keep an eye out on our social media for updates, and back the Patreon to keep getting access to The Saltreach Isles!
Rob
