Please make all content shareable with a Master Tier subscription.

It is unfair if the biggest selling point of a service for years is being able to share your library of player facing content with anyone in your group, regardless of whether or not they have a paid subscription only to suddenly put an asterisk next to certain ones.  If you and the people at your table are fine with it, more power to you, but don’t be dismissive about other people’s concerns about this and what it means for future releases especially since they’ve hinted at doing this with subclasses and species/races.

 I think when you are trying to complain that free content that, while needs to be worked around (yes you pay for your sub, no the price did not increase ergo "free"), makes a part of this site "bad" or that it is "unfair" is when you start to lose a lot of people on your side.

Me disagreeing with your idea that these extras, a reason to buy a sub, should be free is "dismissing you" is very hyberbolic. Would it be nice if I did not need to homebrew this stuff sure! Can I still share it with my players, yes. Is it basically free homebrew that I do not need to make myself, also yes. 

It not being shareable does not discount the good side of this move. Honestly all the "I can't share it" does is make me as a support go "While this is nice, maybe just don't bother making more, it will just be a headache." And then everyone loses.

I would agree if they were retroactively applying the asterisk to existing content. But they are not. They are producing new content for the purpose of being offered as a subscription perk, with no indication this is going to alter the paradigm of how book content will be handled. Using one paradigm to date is not an irrevocable bond that they must use that paradigm if they branch out into other offerings. If you don’t like it and don’t wish to engage, that’s your prerogative, but this simply is not some kind of dastardly double dealing, it’s them simply expanding their offerings to include new products with different terms.

As I've said before, all of the things that you could share before you can still share. If you buy future releases, you can still share those the same as you always could. Drops are an extra benefit to subscriptions. My point wasn't to be dismissive of your concerns, it was to point out that saying "But it isn’t usable if fewer people have access to it" is not true. Whether it is usable for you and your group is up to you and your group. Drops being a subscriber perk does not in anyway make them unusable.

They’re accessible if you do a bunch of work around instead of just letting the players do it themselves like every other piece of player facing opposition on this platform 

Smh; the character sheets here have spoiled people if the suggestion one should ever have to do any pen and paper equivalent work of their own for a character is considered so hideously objectionable.

"A bunch of work" ? It's faster and less effort to homebrew a copy in a few clicks than it is to write out the feature on the paper. And it will be faster and easier to track the changes. And you only need to do it once so all players in all future campaigns you will ever be in, as player or DM, can add it without having to make it. If pen and paper they'd all need to write it out.

Your math ain't mathing there, bud. 

3-4 seconds per option once only,  is much less work than 20-30 seconds per option per sheet.

People, they've heard us. They may not implement something right away, & a response in-thread is absurd to expect, but they've heard us.

the hero tier is less then a cost of 1 rulebook a year, and you are going to be getting access to a bunch of content. At the end of the day, they have to make money. They need to give a reason for people to pay for a subscription. out of my two playgroups of 9 players total, none of them pay a monthly subscription. I am the only one that has the GM tier. Right now there is no reason for them to subscribe.

If they cannot build subscribers the site will shut down. its a business, not a charity.

Not every player gets “a book a year” that was the point of making your books shareable with a Master subscription.  Same with physical books, one person (usually the DM) gets books so everyone else can use them.

I'm paying a master tier subscription since day 1 covid. The main advantage of master Tier is to SHARE with my players my purchased content.

Now we have a new Drop mechanic that will not be shared. This means that there will be less books, and more product will not be available for sharing.

This does not work for me and I will be looking at new alternatives.

This is wild, unsupported speculation masquerading as a statement of fact.  In reality, we have seen a proposed release schedule that mirrors prior years, with quarterly product releases and the same frequency of third party content.  There is no evidence to support the above claim - and reality seems to point to nothing changing in the amount of shareable content.

 Dungeons & Discourse is the one pushing the Slippery Slope BS. You know, the one who's said Critical Role is doomed how many times now?

You have no evidence that the person I was responding to was influenced by social media personalities.  Could that be the case? Sure. But thee is no evidence here to suggest one way or another, and therefore your post is essentially the same type of unsupported, baseless speculation as the post I initially responded to. 

Please do not use my - or really anyone’s - posts as a launching point for pure conspiracy.  I will not be bothering to respond further on this point - it would only serve to platform the kind of rampant misinformation I find so damaging to this community.

 I have SOME basis for this one.

2 people, & 5 Discords, had her video appear when the subject initially broke out. 3 of those Discords have thousands of members.

It's not as improbable as you think it is.

Player options (and soon Maps) are now shareable with Master tier content sharing.

Hello world!

Today, all D&D Beyond Drops player options and monsters are now enabled for Master Tier content sharing.

By next Thursday (June 18), all D&D Beyond Drops Maps content will also be enabled for Master Tier content sharing.

Thank you for helping us continue to shape D&D Beyond Drops into the program you want it to be. I hope you enjoy creating and sharing more together!

*It may take up to 24 hours for Drops content to appear if you are shared on it. If you don't see Drops content in your library and are shared on it, you can manually resync your entitlements by visiting this link and clicking "Sync My Entitlements."

Are the D&D Drops like Subclasses accessible in the app compendium, or are they only in the character builder?

 The mobile app? Not yet. We're still working on it, but we 100% see how important it is for some users. We'll share updates as soon as we have them!

 Thanks for the update LaTia, helpful as always. I think having the new monster stat blocks on the app would be especially useful as if they don't show up when I search on there they might as well not exist and frankly the new angels are too cool to be over looked
