I am interested in the Book of many things and will most likely be purchasing a Physical Copy at some point, but I was curious how D&D Beyond was going to handle the Digital Version, as the Physical Copy comes with the additional Guidebook AND all of the Cards.
From what I am seeing, here is the difference:
Digital Copy:
The Book of Many Things
Physical Copy:
The Book of Many Things (192 pages)
The Deck of Many Things Guidebook (80 pages)
The Deck of Many Things (66 Cards)
Does anyone know if there will be a digital copy of the cards released as well as a digital copy of the Guidebook?
Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.
Well, for one, they don’t release pdfs of anything, so it would be shocking if they started that now.
Otherwise, the way I read the announcement is as you have written. Digital gets the book, physical gets the book plus other stuff. As far as I know, that’s all they’ve said. Here’s the link I’m referring to.
Check back in a week when the bundle order people get their advance look at it. One thing that may be telling, while the physical set retails for a lot more than a D&D hardcopy book, the DDB version is only the cost of a regular DDB (unlike the pricing of Spelljammer or Planescape as the other two products who have more expensive DDB versions). Given that I doubt you're getting much more than the digital version of the 192 page book, maybe with the 90 guidebook as one text; but like I said, we'll all know for sure in a week.
