Is there any intention to integrate some of the old edition source books into Beyond?
I was sitting here reading the 4e Manual of the Planes and wishing that some of the monsters were searchable on here. I can understand not wanting the old monster's manuals due to overlap, but it would be nice if some of the old additional resource books were available.
From what I understand DDB is going to be forward facing, meaning no integration of older editions. I could be wrong though but so far the staff seems to have their hands full with revisions and updating for the content that is coming out now.

The last conversation I had with BadEye on this, he said they had zero plans to go back and look at older editions of the game - there's more than enough to keep them busy developing with just 5th edition!

We might be able to talk them into starting on an older edition once they have everything working perfectly for this edition.

That would require an entirely separate website built from the ground up around 4e.
The devs can feel free to correct me on this.

If you need help with homebrew, please post on the homebrew forums, where multiple staff and moderators can read your post and help you!
"We got this, no problem! I'll take the twenty on the left - you guys handle the one on the right!"🔊
On the other hand, as homebrew gets more and more robust you'll be able to digitally replicate things from earlier editions.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the replies. You guys are likely right.
