I'm terrible at puzzles. It might have something to do with my learning disability, but when I was younger I was regularly given puzzles to test my intelligence. There were these red and white boxes I had to sort into patterns based on a picture, and I would always hover them over the picture to get a sense of how to sort them. It endlessly frustrated the people administering the tests because that's not how you're supposed to take the test. I also fail at most convergent creativity tests (where you have to find the one solution to a problem) because I come up with a solution only to be told "actually, there are 100 rules you need to follow that aren't listed." It's endlessly frustrating for me. Recently, I tried playing d&d with someone who made a puzzle. I tried using mage hand to grab an item and was told "you can't do that." When asked why not, they said "you would have to be a rogue to move it." I then rolled a crit on acrobatics to run and grab the item, and the DM ruled that the item shattered into pieces because I didn't solve the puzzle to get it. Puzzles in D&D shouldn't be about convergent creativity because rarely is there only one solution to a puzzle.
Yep, WotC has some art permissions that you can utilize when publishing on the DMs Guild. Contractually WotC owns the DMs guild content if you decide to publish there. The perks is being able to utilize certain intellectual property owned by them.
Unfortunately my players are not puzzle players. I am, but I hate actual riddles because they're always a bad pun so on the rare occasion I do solve one as a player I often give the answer in whatever fantasy language my character has (elvish or whatever) because while not incorrect it spites the nonsense wordplay of the riddle.

Jorphan, I think you just know when I'm developing a dungeon and am starting to add puzzles to it for progression through it lol.
I'd buy it as a single collected hardback.

Great Content. Kicking Goals
These books are just what I needed to challenge my veteran players
Interesting book collection.
I think the art on the first book was class art of prestige class in 3.5. Hopefully they got permission to use it.

@@Jorphdan I'm more surprised at myself remembering that it is a prestige class.
I suck at puzzles

I hate that uses a bugaboo boys connected phrase
I dunno if giving alt right nuts that kinda power over every day phrases or memes is the way to go though. Feels like the Pepe debate all over again.
