Thanks for the information! Do you know anything about how much they might cost? It's quite an ask to be basically $60+ more for the digital bundle if these are basically bundled-in handouts that will go for $10-20 apiece vs. if they're robust expansions that will actually run the price of a full book. They certainly are interesting- vampires are neat and I think the Netherese are fun villains. However, it looks like the digital bundle runs $126.93 and doesn't seem to benefit from the legendary discount, which is fine if that's either already factored in or the bundle is a meaningful discount, but if it's just some extra digital dice I'd rather use the legendary discount. Unless the expansions run $60+ then it would actually be a worse deal to get the bundle for legendary discount holders. If each expansion is $20 with the core books being $40 and $30, then that's basically $130 worth of books, and the legendary discount would save roughly $13. (For math purposes, the two books separately are $59.48 for legendary bundle holders, which means that the expansions would need to be at least $79.97 list price for them to be competitive with the legendary bundle discount. And while yes this is penny pinching, everything's so much more expensive these days so don't blame me for trying to save money where I can when buying content to run games for my players. I would miss out on the BG3 map pack but while I would love them I don't think it's worth $13 for some maps I probably won't end up using more than once or twice in a campaign.)
Now that we have the costs of the extras, you would save $10.50 with the legendary bundle discount on the 2 main books buying everything separately possibly more of the discount applies to any of the other content. This also gives the option of spreading the purchases over time to further help with budgeting.

Since the legendary bundle discount doesn't cover dice (and possibly maps) it doesn't apply to the digital bundle as a whole, so you will save money buying the items one at a time, assuming there are no price changes between now and when the expansions/dice/maps come out.
It is not very consistent on how things work that is certain. Put it in your cart and it should apply the discount. This has been a complaint since they changed the marketplace.
Hi everyone, thank you very much for all the feedback and questions and for your patience while I flagged this for the team. We are still working on getting those product description pages updated, but in the meantime to clarify your questions, we've published an article that outlines everything you get with each product, including the Digital Bundle.
Thank you very much for your help and to the team for getting this all clarified for us!
One last point of clarification - the Forgotten Realms Faction Digital Dice - are these the same dice that already exist (Zhent, Lords, Harper, Gauntlet, Enclave), or will this be a new set?
If the same dice, will there be a discount offered for items already owned?
Thanks again!

ModeratorI can confirm that the expansions are $14.99 each, and the dice set and map pack are $5.99 each.

Thank you again.
When will this bundle be available for people outside US?

ModeratorThe devs are working on it, but I don’t know for sure. With the weekend starting, though, I wouldn’t expect it for the next few days.

I can see the legendary bundle discount now. It went from $126 to $107 I believe. Digital version bundle.
Nice, the 15% is applied to everything!
I still see 126 and no info about if you get the extra stuff. I don’t know why the market place info is so unclear :-(

Adding the legacy bundle discounts to the digital bundle and getting the full discount for the whole purchase is very cool!
