Why is the Marketplace so badly designed for finding content? It is so infuriatingly annoying to get to the right menu category and the filters are so slow. Why are you making it so hard to spend money with you?
It feels like there are a whole bunch of content simply not listed in any of the badly designed menu systems.
Why is there a "Beyond Digital" menu category at all when you have digital items nested in the other categories...
How do you even find some products? For example, If I didn't know these products exsisted, how do you naviagate to:
Yeah, there's actually quite a few third-party things that only show up in the Partner Products link in the Marketplace home, not under the other categories (Rulebooks/Adventures). And since some do show up in those categories, anyone looking there first would have no reason to assume they're missing anything.
Wizard's of the Coast's D&D division is a book publisher. The marketplace's primary job is to sell physical books. All three that you've listed are "Digital Only" products. The common way to access them is through the Sources tab.
Each of the things you listed, are in the Marketplace under "Partner Products". They're VERY INCONSISTENT in how they present things though. Obojima should be also under BEYOND Digital Campaign Settings, but it's under "Expanded Rules" along with a number of third party products like The Crooked Moon.
Griffon's Saddlebag, Valdas, and Heliana's are under BEYOND Digital Rulebooks Expanded Rules, because they are character options and expanded rules, not settings or adventures. That's where they should be.
So:
Obojima - Tales from the Tall Grass - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, should be under BEYOND Digital Campaign Settings.
Valda's Spire of Secrets - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, where it should be.
Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, where it should be.
The Griffon's Saddlebag - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, where it should be, but ALSO should be under BEYOND Digital Campaign Settings, as the second half is a setting.
Humblewood Tales - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, where it should be, but ALSO should under BEYOND Digital Adventures.
Rules Expansion Gift Set - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, but PHYSICAL ONLY.
Deck of Many Things - Under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules, but PHYSICAL ONLY.
The Illrigger - Under Rulebooks Expanded Rules, should be under BEYOND Digital Expanded Rules.
So basically, it's organized, but some of the staff are sloppy.

I'd call that a bug.
