(Sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere)
First - thanks for all the work transferring all this content into DnD Beyond. Can't wait to try it out, BUT...
What options exist for someone who has already purchased hard-copies of the manuals? DnD Beyond only works for me if I pay again to use the content of manuals I already own and have paid full price for. E.g., Is there an alternative to buying the Legendary Bundle ($279.99 USD)?
Hi Mileskor!
You've hit on a bit of a contentious topic there, but the short answer is buying the physical books, no matter from who, has no impact on accessing the information available in D&D Beyond. I recommend checking out the FAQ's, and looking at the pricing structure, because there is a lot of options available for everyone.
Who bought that Legendary Bundle within 30 seconds of us hitting the switch? Get that person a beer!
Like on kickstarter, you should add something to our purchase history or subscription account that indicates which backer number folks were, so they can have useless artificial bragging rights about being the first to drain their wallets.
Just me or is it not intuitive where the purchase options are?
Just go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace, click View Purchase Options under the item you want, click Add to Cart, repeat as much as necessary then click My Cart and checkout.
I was preparing to buy a sub and some books...but I'm taken aback because certain base features (ie: Feats) are still not functioning properly. Is this due to still being a free user or are these still not functioning?
Feats are not in the SRD (except for one), so weren't part of the beta. You'll need to buy the PHB to access them.

Thanks, was trying through the Account page but was only getting to the subs, not the modules. They just added a Marketplace button thankfully that gets you there.

Also, I *think* from screenshots that were posted the Forbidden page will include a link to purchase that content. That's not happening yet, but would be another pretty intuitive page that I think should be there soon.

And now I'm Master tier and buying a bunch of stuff. :D Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, the top button still goes to Basic Rules. Also, I'd be interested to hear if that works for you. I purchased 1 adventure from Yawning Portal, but from the Adventure Compendium page, it links to the Marketplace for Yawning Portal rather than compendium (and all other adventures go to 403 Forbidden). But I figure it's a few wrinkles here and there to get sorted out soon. :)

Is there a way to change the price to Pounds? Or do we have to do it manually before purchasing?

Wave!
Is anyone else having trouble checking out? I'm getting this message:
ERROR:Gateway Rejected: avs-gateway_rejected
I bought the PHB. How do I view it?
You need to click that Paypal button (after you select the option) so you link it.
I purchased the Volo's race pack, but they don't show up in the character builder.
I got all the way to checkout, but then my purchase keeps failing. Will try again in a couple of minutes.
How do you view the compendium for an adventure? the Compendium tab just takes me to the basic rules page still (I have purchased 1 adventure)

The error I'm getting is : "ERROR:Declined-processor_declined"

Might have been me, but I'd rather have inspiration over a beer. Congrats on the launch.
