This is something that is really screwing with me, and I'm entirely unsure why it isn't a feature.
Homebrew items should be more customizable. We should be able and allowed to edit damage, range, and properties of these weapons. We can edit the damage of homebrew monsters, so why not items? It makes no sense.

Totally agreed - it's weird that we are getting map updates but basic features of the other things that have already existed are unfinished.

I suspect the calculation is that more people will pay $$$ specifically for map access, than for "unnecessary additions" to minor features, such as customizability of homebrew items beyond what's already there. (There could be a lot to comment on if that's the truth of it, but I'll refrain.)
Not sure if anyone else talked about this but it would be a nice feature (and i think not a hard one to implement) to be able to resize digital dice and also (and this is the main point) reduce/increase the speed at which they are rolled. Reason for this is that a lot of time I find myself waiting for animation to finish and it adds unnnecesary waiting, especially during combat etc. Maybe i don't want any animation, but just to see the results immediately. Instead of them being scattered all over the screen, in this case, dice can be shown in line at the bottom of the screen or something like that.

Agreed. I especially like the idea of reducing the size because sometimes they don't roll properly due to lack of real estate, like on a phone screen.
Now that there is quite a bit of content on the dndbeyond website, I would like to be able to choose which adventures are available in the "featured adventures", it's annoying to have to look it up everytime manually for the few campaigns I actually have at the moment. Or at least provide a "quick access" option independent to those.
It's actually very frustrating to have to click "view all" and then look for the correct one and open it afterwards.
Just curious... has there been any new under the hood development in DDB in the last 2 years? Feels all all they do is put new sellable content into the existing infrastructure. Nothing has been improved upon or innovated upon in the last few years (or at least that's how it feels).
I think they are probably struggling to enable both the 2014 ruleset and the 2024 ruleset, in order for us to play with the new books as soon as they are available.
I think they are figuring out how to get rid of the 2014 rules so everyone will have to pay them more money to buy the new stuff.
isn't this... hella illegal? i hope there a commerce commission or section of the US government where we can complain about digital purchases 'expiring' if this does happen.

It's not something there's a shred of evidence for them actually doing and it would be mindbogglingly stupid, but based on the terms and conditions for D&D Beyond, it's likely legal.
Please can you add more text colours? They're super useful for roleplay and representing different characters in Play-By-Post, but there's not many that can be used for that purpose for several reasons. Firstly, a lot of them are very similar so can't really be used to distinguish characters from one another (Sea Green and Teal for example, or Maroonand Red Violet) or some of the colours are impossible to use for a character's speech like all of the very light colours that don't show up on the white backdrop, or the very dark colours that can't be distinguished from Black. That leaves a pretty small pool of colours from the already tight range that can actually be used to represent characters, which makes it tricky, especially in larger campaigns with lots of players or NPCs.
Thank you for reading my suggestion and I hope it is considered!
Some of the articles are quite good, and I'd like to be able to refer back to them a bit easier than my current method
PS. I'm sorry if there already is an index of the posts, I must have missed them, could you please point me in the right direction?
A search bar for the posts would be amazing as well. I was trying to find an article to give to my friend about DMing and I couldn’t find it.
Yep, a search bar would work just as well. I'd be happy with any method to find old articles really. Though I'd hope for both a search tool and an index as I guess they kind of go hand in hand. I know I would personally get so much more use out of the site if I could easily go through the posts.

Here's a suggestion that would at least give users (and DDB itself) another tool to analyze the game and players:
It would be fun to be able to see the (public) character sheets of people who chose to make use of one of your homebrew subclasses/feats/spells/items.

Subscriber perks.
Having a new frame or a funky set of dice is lovely, but not actually any functional use.
How about giving us a set of NPC/Monster/artifact tokens for maps?
Like a dozen or so each month. Themed for whatever you're pushing that month.
Just something that actually helps the DMs(who are your main subscribers and shoppers).
Or even just sell me a fat old pack of tokens. Save me the time and effort of loading them myself.
Agreed! If I can just upload my own map and tokens to Miro.com then why do it here unless I am getting something better?
I'd like the ability to homebrew vehicles. I've tried homebrewing a vehicle as a "monster" but it's not that smooth.

I still want the ability to switch from spell slots to spell points

Hi there, I have a feature request for the site itself rather than anything to do with the game.
Could we get an index of the posts that you put up from time to time? These ones - https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts

You can import your character portraits. I think it would be cool to also be able to import an image to be the background for your character sheet.
Custom classes as well would be fun
