We are grateful, humbled, and to be honest surprised at how such an active community has sprung up here at DDB in only a day. Thank you once again for your participation in making D&D Beyond everything we (all of us collectively as players and fans) want the toolset and experience to be.
I wanted to collect several of the prominent topics/ questions/ answers here to hopefully help everyone navigate the meta-discussion a little better. We continue to get a huge number of duplicated posts asking or stating the same things and reading this first should alleviate that a bit.
I also heard a rumor that we will start recruiting for moderators today to help us keep up with the huge influx of activity - keep your eyes peeled for that!
Here goes:
Why is [Insert Game Mechanic Here] missing from the Compendium or the Spells, Items, Monsters listings?
For the beta, the Basic Rules content only is available. This would include everything in the Systems Reference Document. You won't find anything else at this point, and it won't do any good to tell us we should include it or let us know it's missing.
Why are modrons showing up for some of the monsters? Why are images for the specific magic items not included.
We have not added all of the artwork to every element on the site yet - but we are certainly going to as we go along!
Is there an app to download? How do I access this on my tablet or phone?
A native mobile app is absolutely in the works for DDB, but at this point for the beta everything is included in the website. The site is mobile responsive, so you should be able to view and use it just fine on a phone or tablet. Just visit the site in your device's browser. If something doesn't look right on your mobile device, that's the kind of feedback we want to hear during the beta so we can make it pretty everywhere. We will definitely share more specifics about the mobile app soon, including how to download it.
A global search function is really essential - I can't find what I'm looking for in the Compendium.
Completely agreed - we have a really solid global "omni" search coming. It's just not included in this phase of the beta. I assure you, this is right at the top of our list, but we will add it toward the end to be certain we make it cover all the bases.
Why do I have to log in with my Twitch account? I thought this was D&D Beyond (or Curse).
D&D Beyond is being developed by Curse, and Curse is part of the Twitch family. Curse uses Twitch accounts now. I'll try to channel Socrates here:
D&D Beyond accounts are Curse accounts Curse accounts are Twitch accounts Therefore, D&D Beyond accounts are Twitch accounts
So, there's no difference in logging in with your Twitch account and logging in with a DDB-specific account - they are one in the same. We appreciate the feedback on this, but I also know that in order to give that feedback you logged in with your Twitch account and it didn't seem to be a major ordeal!
I'm sure there are hundreds of other questions and topics I'm not touching on here, but these came across prominently yesterday.
Please continue to share your feedback as we continue the adventure. I hope you'll see over time that we really are listening and we want D&D Beyond to be the best it can possibly be for players of the world's greatest roleplaying game!
Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination. I will protect those who cannot protect themselves, I will protect even those I hate so long as it is right.

Thank you! My friend literally said he would quit D&D if they didn't give us an app. I thought he was being dramatic, but since he is running out next game...whew! Also, thank you for checking in on our discussions. Y'all have the right ideas in mind and as content creators for the best role-playing game in the world, I think this is going to be amazing and y'all are gonna knock it out of the park!
I do have one question, will there be a map maker function or dungeon maker function? That would be worth throwing money at...lol

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Great to see how dedicated the team is when it comes to keeping the community informed! There are a lot of FAQ's coming in; it's nice to have one thread for these kinds of updates and replies.

Completely agree. Adohand's Kitchen has some of the team in there answering fun questions about their D&D characters too. It' since to see that they are hard at work but have time for us and themselves as well. It's making me like this better and better.

First, I had to make a twitch account just to join the beta, I didn't already have one nor want one. That requirement is playing into my thinking if this will be worth it once you begin to charge for the content. Your flippant comment didn't help either. The way so many things require me to make a new account just for them is an issue. Do I really need another account in another web service I don't use?
Does anyone know how much DnD Beyond will cost when it's completed?
Check out this thread if you haven't seen it already, BadEye, the project lead, recaps a few snippets of information including what they've revealed so far in regards to payment.

Even with the limited basic rules and information, this tool has been helpful when running games. A few of my players have joined in on the testing as well. We're looking forward yo the finished product!
I just used D&D Beyond to help run my campaign and it made everything super simple. It was easy to find the Items and Monsters that I needed. Was able to quickly look up level up information for my players as well when we ended for the evening.
Hello, because you use the Google verification code landing system, and Google google completely shield the code in the show in China, so when we Chinese players landing this code is completely blocked, in order to visit your website, I Every month have to buy paid vpn, which is simply quite humane.

I totally agree to the map maker and dungeon function.

Does DDB have a beta release schedule, or short term product road map they can share with the community?

Glad to see this

Keep up the great work! I know I'm going to get plenty of use out of this tool.
I draw maps and upload them to 2-Minute Table Top 😊

你好，因为你们使用了谷歌验证码登陆系统，而谷歌google彻底屏蔽了这个验证码在中国的显示，所以我们中国玩家登陆的时候被这个验证码完全的阻挡了，为了登陆你们的网站，我每个月还得购买付费的vpn，这简直相当不人性化。
