Hi everyone! Today's Dev Update was mostly pre-recorded so we didn't have access to the slides we normally do. As soon as the video is live on YouTube and we have the transcript I will reply here with that info.
The major information was about Gifting! You can now gift purchases in the D&D Beyond marketplace! Check out the changelog and details here: https://dndbeyond.link/Gifting
Can we have a guarantee that every player option in the book, including feature variants, will work in the character builder on release? I'm still waiting on Supernatural Gifts and Piety from Theros, so I'm not interested in pre-ordering a book only to find out the features will only be half implemented.

I'm still waiting on Supernatural Gifts and Piety from Theros, so I'm not interested in pre-ordering a book only to find out the features will only be half implemented.
I am also extremely interested to find if Class Feature Variants will be implemented upon release. I was disappointed to never see the UA version implemented, so if a paid product's feature doesn't make it in, I will be extremely disappointed. The Ranger variant features were critical in my decision to run a Ranger in one game, and my character sheet never ran right as a result.
I would ask that in the last 24-48 hours before preorder ends we get an update as to what features will/will not be implemented when the book goes live. I am not interested in purchasing a digital copy of the book if I can't actually use a good portion of the features. If that's to be the case I'd rather stick with my hard copy and homebrew stuff.
I’m so happy for the Tasha’s release. Preordered. Even if some features need to be tracked some other way, this is the format I want the book in, and I’m already tracking things like hero points, salvage, AL records, campaign notes etc. in other ways if some portions aren’t in place on time. I came here to say I’m actually almost more excited about the campaign shared rolling space! I DM for some inexperienced/English-second-language players and I think this will really close the loop on ease of play and checking that they’ve rolled correctly as we play online. When will subscribers get an alpha?
Thanks for posting the video. This is better than bullet points without meaning but can you just put out a short summary of the updates for those who don't want to watch a 12 minute video? No information is conveyed at all until the 5:03 mark.

The Ranger variant features were critical in my decision to run a Ranger in one game, and my character sheet never ran right as a result.
This is also how I am feeling on this subject. If we don't get those relatively quickly I may have to stop buying books with new features here (and it's my favorite way to do so!)
Can we just get told the Class Feature Variants are not coming to Dndbeyond until it is put in official books? i mean unless i have missed something they just keep saying "we are working on it" yet we continue to get piles of subclasses. Yes, you can tell us that this is vastly different then just a sub class and i know it has been a rough year. But, it has been a YEAR. I would just like a straight answer " We aren't doing it." Then continuing to string us along. While i still use Dndbeyond i have to have both the site and a character sheet available to play the game. This kind of defeats the purpose.

So it’s in Tashas, which is coming out in two weeks. The new thing is, and it’s a legit question. Will it be ready when Tashas releases?

of the night

i'm my own mind and between you and me
things haven't worked out exactly too
well for the last several familiars
nadja and i have had
over
i suppose i'm here to tell you today
about the latest
updates for our favorite digital tool
set for
dungeons and dragons dnd beyond
apparently this is all happening over
the internet
one of the best ways to drain people's
energy nowadays
is via the internet well i know that
colin robinson but you can't drain these
people they're here to watch me
they should get a life go away and troll
someone else big on
uh where were we oh yes
i have been told that this is live
streaming to hundreds of you at one time
and so
i imagine that i could hypnotize you all
at once
so we're gonna give it a try make sure
that you sit there
calmly clear your minds and be
susceptible
to the mass hypnosis here we go
you will play dungeons and dragons every
chance you get
and you will tell everyone you know
about dndbr
how do i know if it worked or not
[Music]
millions of
believe millions of people
wait can they hear me
so my hypnosis was so powerful that it
broke
the world wide web well that's one
opinion
no i don't know what a zoom is
what button
so back in five four
oh i'm not supposed to count
all right you count then
i'm not supposed to talk about the
arrangement
where my appearance fee will be paid
literally in blood by the dnd beyond
team but
well there you go well that was a
complete disaster
your mother was a complete disaster
that's right walk away
let's talk now about the latest updates
first up this soon to be fine dining
experience of a team

is floating within tasha's cauldron of
everything
having run into tasha many moons ago in
my travels to sigel
and knowing full well what's floating in
her cauldron
that's a brave team indeed
ah tasha
she was quite the lady naturally we hit
it off straight away very fast friends
that was until she did something so evil
so despicable
so unforgivable that we are now sworn
enemies
yes
i'm afraid we don't have time to go into
that story right now
i'm live streaming i'll be up in a
minute
then the fine folks at ddb
have released an update to add digital
dice to the player tools mobile
application
roll dice on your phone
what will they think of next
that's right we are blessedly unburdened
with the complications of modern life
[Music]
but i'll have gizmo download that one
[Music]

sale is still going on for a few more
days
secure 15 off what i believe
are truly the best and brightest
of what dungeons and dragons has to
offer
the monster manual volo's guide the
monsters
volo
oh and ghost to salt marsh
only about half of the creatures
contained there in a reel
but it's a make-believe game anyway i
suppose
this next one i'm told is a pretty big
deal
so i am pleased to be the one to share
that you can now
gift on d d beyond
so just in time for the holiday
yes i said holiday because halloween is
the only one that truly matters anyway
but just in time for that holiday you
can
give books that you buy to other people
on dnd beyond now
i'm not exactly sure why anyone would
want to give
something to someone else but it seems
like a very human thing to do
and so i'm sure it will be very popular
to gift a d d beyond the book simply add
it to your cart
and select the option to gift upon
checkout
you'll receive an email with a product
key
that you can gift to whomever you so
choose
oh and if you lose the email gizmo loses
our mail all the time
you can always go to your order history
to retrieve the code
finally you see here what's next on tap
for dnd beyond
compendium enhancements for tales from
the yawning portal
that place is the best but that
bartender still owes me money
you'll soon be able to roll to generate
ability scores in the character builder
stats aren't that big of a deal for us
vampires
once cursed everything more or less
becomes an 18.
and also some special rules and rules
exceptions
will be tackled in the coming months
since i love being at ease i'll do
just that with an upcoming feature
called
shared dice rolling or the game log
this feature will allow you to join a
session
and see everyone's roles
so handy so dandy
i've been called both those things
be able to see rose on either the
campaign page or by clicking the
campaign
button on the character sheet
i wasn't really paying attention but
adam said something about
another step in the direction of a game
space etc etc
[Music]

page
[Music]
so no more cheating that's right nandor
no more sessions where you magically
roll five natural twenties
that's right i win every time
i'm sure adam will cover much more about
the game log in the coming weeks
but would you consider yourselves
sufficiently teased
well that's all the time i have here for
today
it's early for me you know so back to
the coffin
it takes a good bit of rest to maintain
these standards

InsidersYou can preorder Tasha's now! https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/tashas-cauldron-of-everything
A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
Well, I am GLAD to be wrong in this case. This will quiet down quite a few people about the whole pre-order non-sense. Thanks for the update!
Can we have a guarantee that every player option in the book, including feature variants, will work in the character builder on release? I'm still waiting on Supernatural Gifts and Piety from Theros, so I'm not interested in pre-ordering a book only to find out the features will only be half implemented.

If I wanted to ask a question for the dev updates is their a forum for it or do I just have to be there?

so no update this week?
Nope. Apparently Adam had a last minute scheduling conflict.
