So DnD Beyond partnered with Critical Role to bring Matt's stuff to the site. How often is new CR content going to be added? Will the Gunslinger subclass and College of the Maestro be added? Will the Tal'Dorei Campaign guide be added?
Considering that Matt couldn't include the gunslinger subclass in his own book, I'm wondering if we will see it or not, unless they have worked out some amazing agreement with WotC for the DMGuild content (I hope i hope i hope)
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
The most memorable stories always begin with failure.
Mercer's book was published by Green Ronin (i think), so I think they'd have a nasty copywrite quagmire there if they tried to include its contents. Which sucks cuz i wan that Path of the Juggernaught. But hey, we can't have everything.

That's entirely up to the contract between Mercer Geek & Sundry and Green Ronin. The initial announcement stated Green Ronin "signed a licensing agreement with Geek & Sundry" so Green Ronin likely doesn't own any of the copyright. So it'd be up to how exclusive the publishing rights were in the deal.

My son has the physical book; the copyright notice there says Green Ronin owns the copyright. Critical Role and Geek and Sundry logos were licensed from Legendary Geek & Sundry.
No doubt the copyright/licensing questions are more complicated than that, however.
What content of Matt's is on here and how do I find it? I tried a search of all things under the user MatthewMercer (i assumed that was his) and got no results :(

So far it's just the Bloodhunter. You can access from the character menu at the top of the page, under classes, under additional classes.
I assumed Gunslinger was a hacked version of the Pathfinder Gunslinger that was converted over to 5e when they switched their campaign from pathfinder to 5e. That being the case, that adds another possible licensing issue, as I don't know how Paizo's OGL covers the Gunslinger.

FWIW, Mercer has his Gunslinger class up on DMSGuild as a Pay What You Want. If there were possible legal/licensing issues, I'll be he wouldn't have been able to put it there.
EDIT - but yes, he straight up says it's a Pathfinder conversion. Dunno how that plays into everything.
I personally would love to see Matt's book on D&D Beyond and im thankful the Bloodhunter class was added due to that is what i play in my current campaign so this has helped out greatly.
I just realized that there's no rule for Bloodhunter multicast requirements. Do you think Wis 13 should suffice? I played a mazochistic rogue so far, and it seems just evident to develop as a bloodhunter from at next level. :)
Since they have all the other details on here and hopefully just not a clear place to put multiclass Info yet - in the DM’s Guild PDF (Pay What You Want if anyone wants to throw a little $ Matt’s way for letting them use it on DDB), it has Str or Dex 13, and Wis 13. You get light and medium armor, simple and martial weapons, and alchemical supplies.
Ahh, awesome. I have actually 4 month mortgage left, and I planned to celebrate that by starting a regular donation towards Matt on patreon, but I can't find him there. :(
Way of the Cobalt Soul is in the Taldorei Campaign Guide, so I would assume that it would appear appear here when/if the whole guide does. There are a lot more licensing/copyright issues to sort out with the Taldorei Campaign Guide than with the Bloodhunter.

D&D Beyond FoundersMatt is on twitter quite a lot, which is probably the best place to ask him about such things!
He also has a website which is due to be updated summer 2017. :)
