I too was excited for the advent calendar. I was hoping for some digital dice, character sheet stuff, etc....but after getting 4 days of coupons in a row, I feel a little like Ralphie and his Little Orphan Annie decoder ring. A "gift" that I have to spend money for is not a gift....it's a liability. Hopefully there will be actual gifts as it goes, but I will be very disappointed if the advent calendar turns out to be the monthly perk for Dec.
advent calendar... i'm not sure they realize they are just giving out a coupon book at this point. Some people might like that but not what I was expecting.

Oh I'm sure they are fully aware of what they're giving. :)

--[ Natural 20 - that's how I roll! ]-- We've stopped this OGL madness, but stay vigilant, they tried it once, they can try it again.
Come on guys. This topic is to complain when subscriber perks are late, bad quality, or when they are scamming us by "not skipping a month, but giving the same perk for two months in a row". I wonder if they think that the extension of that logic - giving the same perk forever - is also working.
There should be a seperate topic for the coupon calendar.
I'm a new subscriber as of November, and was wondering why I hadn't received a new Monthly Perk yet for December. Is this common?
There was disruption and confusion around the December/January perks last year because they released one perk to cover both months, but that was back when the perks were always notoriously late; most of the perks this year have been roughly on time though which is why it's surprising there's no word on this month's at all yet.
Not that I subscribe for the perks (I have literally 100 characters, though the bulk of those are characters created to help build NPC monster stat-blocks, no way I'm ever going to play that many in my lifetime otherwise unless I can retire early and play like multiple one-shots every week 😉), but it's disappointing when they push the advertising of the perks so hard as a feature and then forget to keep us informed about delays or plans.

Former D&D Beyond Customer of six years: With the axing of piecemeal purchasing, lack of meaningful development, and toxic moderation the site isn't worth paying for anymore. I remain a free user only until my groups are done migrating from DDB, and if necessary D&D, after which I'm done. There are better systems owned by better companies out there.

5 days of coupons! I wonder if tomorrow’s will be for one free foot massage?
C'mon. You know it would only be "free" in a bundle of something costing at least $30.
Back on topic, does anyone else find the loss of dev comms, livestreams, general communication and friendly tone since DnDBeyond joined the "Wizards family" really sad?

DId you know? The DDB marketplace has REMOVED the option for purchasing one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters "a la carte". Now you ALWAYS have to buy the ENTIRE book instead.
Unhappy? UNSUBSCRIBE and Let them know your thoughts!

Yes. After WotC's acquisition, basically all communications ceased.

Edit: As soon as I posted this comment I went to the change log. They changed to something useful!
…but now I can’t emphasise at each mobile app update that since they still haven’t added a light theme option, I can’t use the app as it makes my eyes hurt after a couple minutes!

Dice set is out. I see they actually notified of this last week via twitter. Including mention of incoming character frames. Edit: no, they're continuing the december frame through Jan as an extra.Fair enough.

What are the rewards though? They haven't posted what it is yet. Do I need to search through my character stuff?
Found it. 4 new holiday Character Frames..
Today is the second Tuesday of the month. Based on some previous perks this is a more realistic release date.
Of course, since WotC doesn't communicate with the community, we don't know what's going on.

Since Musk bought twitter and started to run amok with the accounts and verification, I don’t believe a single character there.

And... DDB gives Christmas-wrap dice... in January... Can't say that doesn't speak volumes...
Wish those had been Gift giving dice (for those who already own the gift giving dice)
