The Marketplace is currently a mess. The filters need to be fixed.
Before, you could at least toggle by what you have already purchased...
I want this feature back.
PLEASE.
My brain is basically a Bag of Holding filled with Blink Dogs & Displacer Beasts.
Thank you for giving us the option to use 2014 spells/magic items.
Now...can we have:
-Ala carte back
- Marketplace Filter by "what you own" back
- Let us better customize our Magic Items, Classes, Feats.
- Hell let us homebrew a whole class, NOT just a subclass
- Wishful thinking but a way to view the Compendium offline, I get y'all won't give us PDFs. But sometimes I want to look up something when I am at work, and have no Data Signal and the App wont load the content I bought for me to view.

I've just checked to make sure I was accurate before I responded. I've just opened the app, gone to the library section, downloaded the 2014 PHB to my device, closed the app, turned off wifi and data (i.e. no internet access), re-opened the app, went to library again, opened the 2014 PHB, and I could navigate through without issue. Seems like the compendium works offline if you hit the "download" button for the book when you have internet.
I suggest a 3rd-party content roadmap publicly available so people can keep track of what's coming.
Future 3rd-party content would be nice to hype via Nintendo-style "Partnered Content showcases" where hype can be built for stuff that's coming without having to guess what from who....with the permission of the partners, of course.

Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
Sweet I will have to do that! Thank You!

It’s great that 3rd party content is being added, and I’m excited to see what else comes to the marketplace, but I think this makes a great time for another call for DMs to have item-level control over the spells available in their campaigns.
If a 3rd party book with hundreds of spells came on sale, I’d be very reluctant to share it with my party - they’d be overwhelmed by the increase in choice, and I’d be wary of spells that weren’t well balanced.
It would be super cool to have a search filter (in any place it's relevant) for content you do not own
If you copy an item like Arrow +1 it is stackable weapon (ammunition) but as soon as you try to make any changes it complains you have to select the weapon type, it's like there is a hidden "weapon" type of ammunition. As it happens I am trying to homebrew some ammunition and would like to use that type.
(for now I'll use item type scroll, because those are also stackable)
Please check out my home-brewed Races, Spells, Feats, Magic Items, Backgrounds, and Subclasses.
It'd be nice if the items in my homebrew creations and collection had rarity colored name in the listing or I could at least filter them on rarity
Please check out my home-brewed Races, Spells, Feats, Magic Items, Backgrounds, and Subclasses.
Request: More search filters for our Homebrew Collection and Homebrew creations. I have 77 pages of homebrew x 20 items each (1,540 homebrew feats, spells, items, subclasses, etc.) and trying to find a specific homebrew gives me Psychic damage. This has been a request for years.
Still think the simplest way would be to have an INCLUDE MY HOMEBREW CREATIONS checkbox or toggle in the Advanced filters when searching "Game Rules" (or have Homebrew included as part of the "Source" filter).
And while we're on the subject of homebrew, it'd be very useful if we could Enable/Disable Homebrew sharing for specific players in the Campaigns section (ex: "HOMEBREW MANAGEMENT" button, with toggles). If I DM a shared campaign, I should be able to decide if Bob or Anthony's homebrew will be included in my campaign. Similarly, if I join another shared campaign as a player, another DM should be able to toggle off my 1,540 homebrew options :P

Feature request: Now that I finally have my 2024 Player Handbook, for the love of all that is decent and holy, (a) can I please see the new book under Sources! and (b) can I get a toggle or something so I can stop seeing the 2014 Player Handbook like I'm living in 2023! Let's get with times already! it's been like 10 minutes!
Now that the new handbook is out, can we be able to homebrew Weapon Mastery options?
The lack of a 2024 character sheet redesign seems like a missed opportunity. I'd like to be able to tell at a glance if my players are using the 2014 or 2024 sheets. The current sheet is fine—very functional—but it's also starting to feel a bit dated.
It would be great to have some options, maybe even as a nice perk for subscribers. I'd love to see character art featured more prominently, and I'm a sucker for a well-designed layout. If you Google "pretty DnD character sheet," you'll find so many amazing ones out there. Players love customizing and taking ownership of their characters, and having a visually appealing sheet would really add to that experience.
I don't want to use Zendesk for this as this is a platform that can track requests as easily as Zendesk and doesn't require additional work for something that is meant to be fun, not "feel" like work. I use Zendesk for work and I don't want to put D&D anywhere in the same ballpark as it is what I use to GET AWAY from work and relax after it.
Because dndbeyond digital content is sharing through one individual, often but not always the DM, that means that you're marketing to one individual per campaign...it would make sense for there to be an easier way for members of a campaign to contribute (dndbeyond gift card or online credit) to their DM or whoever is sharing the content so that it can be enjoyed by all members of that campaign. Small donations like 1$ per week per member wouldn't be too hard for a lot of people but if the campaign goes for at least 6mo and there's at least 2 people, that's a new book 2x per year per group.
It's the same principle as this dumb Zendesk idea...make it easier for people to do something and they will, make it harder and they won't. Make it easier for yourselves to make money and provide an easier way for people to crowd source their content and it will happen...make it more difficult for our voices to be heard and you'll get less voices.
Think about it.
Can we get a toggle for the 2024 rules like there is for the Legacy? The new stuff just creates clutter and bloat and I don't want to see any of it.
Can we get a configurable True Strike that you can roll attack and damage (weapon and extra cantrip damage) by clicking? For instance, you can choose the weapon from one of your equipped weapons, and it will add your attack and damage bonuses from what you picked with the Magic Initiate feat or class. I tried to homebrew something, but there might not be a way to do it with a +3 weapon, without increasing all other spell attacks by +3.
A few suggestions for future D&D Beyond updates:
1.) (and you may already be aware of this one) Potion of Healing in 2024, under Adventuring Gear, is still listed as only healing 2d4+2. Since both Cure Wounds and Healing Word spells were updated, I had expected that potions of healing would likewise be improved in efficiency. Was this an oversight, or are we just waiting for the Dungeon Master's Guide to be released and make any changes official? Also, if that's the case, will the printed version have incorrect information regarding this item?
2.) Add a stackable option in homebrew magic items. I've made such alchemical items as tanglefoot bags, smoke bombs, liquid ice, and other items of that nature, but on the character sheet they won't stack, so a list of a dozen of the same item sprawls down the sheet. (One work around I've found is to make the item a potion, but most of them are not actually potions, so it would be better if we could just make identical items stackable.)
3. Allow the creation of homebrewed mundane equipment. If I want to homebrew a weapon with different properties, like a bo staff that works as a quarterstaff with the finesse property, I have to make it as a magic item. ... which it is not. Same for items like alchemist's fire, and containers and similar items. Allowing us to homebrew nonmagical items would be a nice feature.
4. Allow us to delete items from our homebrew library ... I know there's an option to "Remove items from our collection," but frankly, it doesn't seem to work. My players can still see duplicate items that I tried and later removed, because DND Beyond won't let me actually remove them. There should be an option to remove an item, shared or not, from our viewing pleasure with the click of a button. (I get that other players in other games may have adopted items once they've been shared, but realistically, those items should be copied into those players' homebrew libraries so we can keep our own library neat and tidy and more easily accessible.
With all intended respect... just a few suggestions that would make your product more appealing.
FEATURE REQUEST
For the DnDBeyond app on iPads and simmilar mobile devices, being able to chose the resolution of images would be lovely. So we can opt to have the full-size HD images & maps if we want to save them or blow them up or print them out. But we can also elect to have smaller low-rez images if we just want to see them on our device.
The books on the app are great and all but are a HUGE space hog, being 5-10x the size of a PDF.
I only have six books on the app and it's occupying a gig-and-a-half of my iPad's storage. In comparison, my collection of Vampire the Masquerade PDFs (over fourteen full-sized books and a bunch of smaller docs) is just under a gig.
I cannot keep my entire book collection on my device and have to pick-and-choose which books I want to have downloaded at any given time.
