DMs Guild Creators D2020 Charity Calendar
It's January, time for a new Calendar and what better calendar to have in the year of the double crit!?
What can I say? As soon as I saw this idea going round on twitter, I was ridiculously excited and WOW, this does not disappoint!
It's wonderful to see some of the faces of the creators that you don't normally see when reading their awesome works.
"100% of creator royalties are donated to the Roleplaying Game Creators Relief Fund!'
What’s In It?
This 13-month calendar, presents 13 creators who can usually be found publishing supplements on the Dungeon Masters Guild posing as 13 iconic D&D5e classes and looking awesome!
Each creator comes with a full statblock, so this is a collection of 13 NPCs on top of having a calendar and seeing these stunning folx. The NPCs have a variety of different CRs, posing the questions how Oliver Clegg's Wizard...Oliver Clegg, clocks in at a measly CR0 and Cameron Day's Barbarian, kamryn, Daylight's Bane, is rocking a mighty CR9? I like to think they held some kind of brutal battle royale on the DMs Guild Demiplane to see who fared best.
The statblocks are weird and wonderful, reflecting each creator with some highlights of them being the Justice Arman's Writer's Block Reaction, Anthony Joyce's Devilish Good Looks (obviously), Val Syrene's, Clueless and Tough Git, and Oliver Clegg's, Ok. "Oliver literally does not care. Oliver cannot be truly defeated. Even when seemingly defeated, Oliver persists. If asked how he survives apparent destruction, he replies with a shrug." and his Homospellcasting (obviously). These are seriously fun and I genuinely can't wait to use DMs Guild Creators as NPCs, heroes and villains!

This is a labour of love from so many wonderful people putting their time an effort into a good cause, so I cannot urge you more strenuously to pick this up, and pay as much as you can afford for it. Even if you can't afford it now in the after Holidays slump, pick it up for free and pay it back when you can!
