Day one was cool with monstrous compendium II but since then it's just been smallish coupons for either stuff on Beyond which is ok I guess or for 3rd party sites that sell DnD branded stuff. I'd rather have some dice or one-shots or frames for character sheets https://tutuappx.com/.
I was quite excited by it the first day. Some extra monsters to use in my games. I was hoping to be actual gifts like that...or at least, like, 50/50 or something. Instead, most days I can't use it because it's a US only offer or one day it was literally a worse version of the discount they were giving like two weeks ago. Today they gave an owlbear cutout thing which was ok. It just feels like it is just a bait and switch for an advertisement email. I know it's free, but it does seem a bit...misleading.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.

False equivalency - the advertisement in the movie came after the person put in actual effort to obtain the promo. Hardly the same as “here you go, some free stuff and coupons you don’t have to do anything for.”
Overall, I am fine with what we’re getting. The extra monsters alone make the entire thing well worth it, even though everything else so far has been rather irrelevant. Still, one super useful thing and a bunch of junk? That is coming out far ahead for doing nothing - why would I complain about that?
I wish I could open them to see what's in there all at once instead of having to check every single day for a month... Like a "catch-up" mechanic... I got the first one thankfully... But I have not been as religious about it as I should have been after getting a tiny coupon for an inexpensive product ooo 15% off a $15 item?!?!? OMG that is worth $2 if I buy that one specific thing on that one specific day using the one specific link!!!!!
If it's coupons just give them to us all at once let us decide when to open them odds are we are only going to use 1-2 and we all have better stuff to do than check a website every day for a month...
I do appreciate it anyway... I'm just saying perhaps some of those were coupons you all wanted me to use that still gave people good profit... And I didn't merely because I was too lazy to open on the correct day..

They're coupons that're good till the end of the month it looks like bar for a couple of them.

Much agreed. Dont care about the discount, do care about the spelljammer creatures.

Terry Pratchett & Brian Jacques. Best authors of all time. Change my mind.
Extended Signiture
I'd have been more impressed by the free Monsterous Compendium had it not been something they'd already given away for free anyway.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Huh? When did they give it away before?
(The Advent one was with Dragonlance, not the Spelljammer one from before.)
This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.
