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.
Not sure how regularly viewed this is, but I wanted to suggest adding the ability to customize the amount of spell slots a character has available. I want to give my players additional spell slots and it's currently not possible.
Also, it's odd we can't change the range of homebrew weapons.
Now I don't know if Im just not familiar enough with the UI of DNDBeyond but I find it annoying to filter by my source books from memory. Would it be possible to have an option to automatically filter Monsters/Items based off of owned/shared Source books? If this isn't already implemented I feel like it would be a nice update.

This isn't quite what you're looking for, as I assume you would want the additional spell slots to be on the Spells tab, but...
You can create a Homebrew Feat that can contain "Charges", and these can be used to track limited uses of whatever you want... Call them Spell Slots, set up one charge track for each level of spells (or clone the Feat multiple times for multiple tracks), and you should be good to go! The charges can even be set to refresh on a short rest (for additional Warlock slots) or long rest (for every other caster). The charges will appear on the bottom of Features and Traits when someone adds the Feat to their sheet, and can also be set to appear on the Actions Tab, under any kind of Action (based on Activation Type in the setup).
In the encounters section, it would be SO useful to be able to keep track of wether monsters and players have used their reactions. I know this has been asked for since at least 2018....
Perhaps it already exists, but it would be useful to have an index of features that have been commonly requested, when, what the status is, and why, to prevent the many duplicate requests (and the feeling of shouting into the void). Status: Acknowledged (it's on the list), In Progress (it's being worked on), Complete (it's done!), and Declined (it cannot or will not be done).
Like being able to filter by owned content, if that cannot be done, say so once and for all so people can stop raising new threads for it.
Restoring a la carte...
Implementing the drakewarden drake companion as a Creature under Extras...
Implementing the dragonhide belt effect on saving throws (I know these last two are listed under the support thread for Fizban's, and hey, it would be useful to have an index of those Issues and Support threads as only some seem to be pinned topics).

Currently homebrewing the Mistveil Rogue, an elusive infiltrator that can vanish into thin air.
The filters on search could be improved. If you try to filter on tags, it looks for something with every tag you put in. It would be more useful if there was an option to look for any of the tags, as sometimes I'm looking for a spell to do something that could be considered one of several tags. And if a spell would fit a particular tag, but it was not put in, then the search won't find it. For example, glyph of warding contains damage, control, and warding tags. Debuff would seem as valid as control for what it can do, but if you add it to any of the other tags, glyph of warding doesn't show up.

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
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?
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
more titles
Genius with a god complex...
Get the joke?
