Thanks. So im guessing there will be update with encounter builder later?
Yep; it is, after all, an alpha (as in pre-beta) at the moment.
EDIT: Realized after I hit post that this thread isn’t in the encounter builder forum, so to be clear, it is the encounter builder that is in Alpha, not the rest of DDB.
Just noticed in the description of Burle it mentions this:
Kiara offers a bounty equal to 5 gp per Hit Die for any aberration, elemental, or outlaw slain in the region
However, I don't think Hit Die are really relevant in 5e now we have CRs.
Hi there TheoGB451! Monsters are more defined by their Challenge Ratings now for sure, but they do have Hit Die. For example, the Chuul has 11 Hit Die, which would indicate a bounty of 55 gp.
Those bounties are pretty janky. Bounty for an Ancient Red Dragon: a whopping 140 gp.
They are but surely a Dragon doesn't come under the elemental, aberration or outlaw banner, though? Maybe there's a different scale for them!

True! And the players can still pick up a sweet 115 gp for slaying Maegera the Dawn Titan!
Just purchased Ghosts of Saltmarsh and on the monsters page (https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/gos/monsters-and-npcs) clicking on Amphisbaena redirects to purchase Hidden Shrine of Tomoachan. Looks like someone else already mentioned this issue back in June.

Preface by pointing out that any DM will spot these and correct if they have time but the whole point of Appendix A is to allow you to quickly grab something for play on the fly.
But it's 20 ft wide with 4 15' oars and 12 benches. I mean just a quick look at the deck design implies (a) one person might sail it but they couldn't hope to row it on their own and (b) its passenger capacity must be more like 20 with a cargo of probably a couple of tons?

Yeah, you have to wonder if that wasn't caused by some last minute rewrites. Not technically a bug though. See if you can find a feedback section of WotC's D&D site.

Has it been mentioned that the inset map for Danger at Dunwater (image 3.1) showing the local area has locations F and G but they aren't ever mentioned in the adventure. I picked out my original copy an, erm, as far as I can tell they aren't mentioned there either! So it might be worth removing them from future printings unless I'm missing something.
For that matter, F Is where you fight the Giant Crocodile in the original module. G was apparently an encounter with an Oriental Dragon.
Oh right thanks. I looked it over but couldn't see it. I did wonder if one was the crocodile but the module claims its lair is 12 miles away and F is only 800' roughly (also the crocodile encounter isn't in the original module that I could see but, again, I didn't read the whole module through and it's been years. (I have an actual physical copy not a PDF so I can't word search!)
This might not be the right place to ask this, but I purchased the Sinister Silver Edition of Ghosts of Saltmarsh from Beadle & Grimm's. Is there supposed to be a code listed somewhere so I can access information through D&D Beyond? Thank you for your consideration.

I haven't heard of that being the case. I think the essentials kit is the only product that had codes for ddb so far (maybe stranger things too, I think there were 2 products with codes).
Codes will only ever come in some sort of sealed product (like a box) not a single book (not sure if special edition books come sealed or not).

A code was part of the first Beatles and Grimm packaged (for Waterdeep Dragon Heist?) and it will be for the upcoming one for Balder’s Gate, bit I don’t see it on the list of items included in B&G’s saltmarsh box. To double check, you could ask B&G.
On iOS, when you click on Brown text links, like "warship" in the Random Ships page, it brings up an error "Error Unable to load item" dialog. Should this link to a description?
-The Haunted House lacks the Attic (location 19) on the map, despite sufficient space to draw it in either top left or top right corners...
- Chapter 6 location 4 describes a glowing coffer, but then never says anything more about it.... Is it one of the "many lidless coffers" and empty? Who knows, but you can be damn sure my PCs will investigate it rigorously!! Other coffers in the area contain all many of riches...

This isn't a bug and isnt something that can be fixed by DDB until there is an errata.

I cant reproduce this bug.

So, if there are updates can I suggest the Keelboat's (In Appendix A https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/gos/of-ships-and-the-sea#Keelboat) stats are revisited. Currently it is described as
But it's 20 ft wide with 4 15' oars and 12 benches. I mean just a quick look at the deck design implies (a) one person might sail it but they couldn't hope to row it on their own and (b) its passenger capacity must be more like 20 with a cargo of probably a couple of tons?

The synopsis in the first text box is that of Waterdeep Dragon Heist.
I'm still seeing this issue as well.
The cursed luckstone magic item doesn't have the cursed tag despite being cursed in both its name and description.
Has it been mentioned that the inset map for Danger at Dunwater (image 3.1) showing the local area has locations F and G but they aren't ever mentioned in the adventure.

It's not mentioned in the book, but I think one can infer that it refers to Lair of the Devourer where you fight Thousand Teeth.
For that matter, F Is where you fight the Giant Crocodile in the original module. G was apparently an encounter with an Oriental Dragon.
