My question is is if we have physical & digital copies of sourcebooks (ie PHB or DMG), is it possible to use these in Beyond without having to rebuy the material? For example, I have the PHB, DMG & MM, but it isn't practical to carry them with me all the time, so I had scanned the books to use on my tablet. But now that I am playing using Beyond for my character builds and such, I would like to be able to use all of the content that I already own, without having to purchase it all again..
Is this at all possible or have I just been wasting my time trying to find it as well as money buying the books, when apparently I should have just bought them here and only worried about this service shutting down and me losing the money that way?
This website is not owned by the same company that publishes D&D. This website is more like an online bookstore that only sells digital D&D books. And they made all of these additional tools like the character builder for us to use for free with the materials we purchase.
Think of the paper books as like X-Box copies of video games, and the digital books as like PlayStation versions of the same games. This website is like Amazon, and wherever you bought your books is like GameStop. If you buy an X-Box version of a game from GameStop, would you expect Amazon to give you a free PlayStation copy of the same game?
You don’t need a subscription to play with your friends at all. The subscription just lets you share your unlocked materials with your friends for free. And, if you and your friends each purchase one or two books from this website, and any one of you has a subscription, then you can all share each other’s stuff for free with that subscription.
Not to mention, the company that runs this website has to follow a specific contract with the company that publishes the game, Wizards of the Coast. They have no choice. And they worked like heck to build this website, so they deserve to get paid too.
