Would you think DnD Beyond will consider putting in more 3rd party source books, like Kobold Press' Tomb of Beast and Creature Codex? Roll20 has them as an online resource, i believe, and I would gladly buy the digital copies of their books. I would like to be able to pull up the stats instantly instead of having to dig through a book and slow down the game. I would also like use the encounter builder with these creatures too. I guess my main question wouldn't just be for Kobold Press but really for any 3rd party publisher of DnD supplements. What do you guys think?
Adam (the project lead for DDB) has said that he would like to be able to include 3rd party content, but the business aspects are complicated. DDB, WOTC, and the 3rd party company have to all agree.
As much as I would enjoy having some third party material on here (like the Taldorei guide), I’m aware that they are working hard on adding more features, and converting content takes development time away from adding features, so I’m of two minds personally about adding 3rd party content.
Adam has mentioned that this is something the DDB team would like to do in the future, but it is something rather complex and will take some time, due to them needing to have a three (or more, depending on how the original book was created in terms of IP and copyright) party legal agreement.

Hello there,
Adam has mentioned that this is something the DDB team would like to do in the future, but it is something rather complex and will take some time, due to them needing to have a three (or more, depending on how the original book was created in terms of IP and copyright) party legal agreement.
