The alternate cover editions aren't sold directly by Wizards, they're exclusively provided to physical retailers. It's an intentional strategy to promote fan support of local game stores.

Dec 11, 2025TBird4Life posted a message on The Road Ahead: Join Our Journey to Improve the Maps VTTPosted in: Posts
Some initial thoughts:
- Please, please, please, please, I'm literally begging you, no so-called 'AI'. Not for anything. Ever. I would literally pay money to specifically not have AI 'features'.
- Not sure what magic is required to pull this off but I've read that other VTT's allow you to 'cast' a player map to a screen whilst maintaining a DM view on your own screen. This would allow people to use the VTT at a physical table and that would be marvellous.
- Basic features common to most VTT's whilst keeping this one simple to use. Too many VTT's are so complex and convoluted creating a huge barrier to entry. If people want that, they have a myriad of other options. I think that keeping this one simple, straightforward, functional and accessible is important for the hobby in general, not just this site.
- Proper grid movement (lock minis to grid). I think this is gonna be a common request. Have it togglable if there are enough people who insist they don't want it but I think if you did a survey, most people would say they want it. It's pretty core to every VTT I've ever seen as it makes everything so much easier.
- Area of Effect templates. It'd be amazing to be able to pull up a spell and click on its AoE entry to give you a moveable, low opacity AoE template which you can lock to a grid intersection that then mathimagically tells you who is affected by it as per AoE miniatures rules.
Also, in the Get Involved form linked in the article there's a question about the age of players with no option for, "Mixed." It's only younger, older, same-same, or "I don't know."
So for #2, you can actually currently do that with the DBB VTT! I'm doing it for my session tomorrow and I just tested it out on my TV. There's two main steps:
First, open the map you're running and start the session. You can then hit "Spectator View" (in the bottom right), which will open a new tab that shows the map from the player's perspective (i.e. opaque fog of war, no hidden monsters). This tab will update in real time exactly like how it works for players. You want to drag this tab out to form a new window that can be moved around independent of the tab with the DM view map.
Next, make sure your computer is hooked up to your TV/display. This can sometimes be done via casting (Win + K on windows devices) or with an HDMI cable. It should default to "mirroring" the same screen on both your computer and the TV. Now, open Settings > Display (this is also where you can find wireless devices to cast to). If you change the setting from "mirror" to "extend", it treats the two screens separately and you can have different windows on each screen. You can now drag the Spectator View window off the side of your screen and it will appear on the TV screen. Maximize the window, put the map in fullscreen, and voila!! You can see and mess with the DM side of the map on your private computer screen while the players look at the TV and only see what they should. Really simple and quick once you know how to do it and have your computer settings set up.

Apr 21, 2025TBird4Life posted a message on The Six Sinister Subclasses of Grim Hollow: Player PackPosted in: Posts
It's all about property rights. WoTC can freely create new/updated versions of their own content (like from SCAG) to work with the 2024 classes bc they own the intelectual property. But for 3rd-party content, it's a lot more complicated bc it requires coordination and cooperation bw different companies. To my understanding, the decision to create 2024 versions of these subclasses on DDB is more up to Ghostfire Gaming than it is to DDB, so homebrewing is your best option, at least until GH: Transformed drops at the end of this year like you mentioned

What is currently on the sheet covers all of the mechanical information, you're right, and I do think that's the most important. I also think the backstory/personality portions of the character sheet are nice tho, and I personally like having both mechanics and lore on my characters in the same place. The primary feedback, however, was merely that a non-present tab was referred to within the sheet

The ReadMe tab mentions a tab for the Back of the character sheet that is absent from the spreadsheet

I had not, but I just did and only my previous gift purchases are there, not the Gelatinous Cube one

I'm having issues attempting to purchase the new Sigil minis as a gift for my brother. It always takes at least two attempts. (For context, he doesn't want to add his card info so he can't purchase them for himself even tho they're free.)
Previous Sigil purchases:
> Buy it for myself
> Add it back to cart, select "purchase digital items as a gift" from cart screen
> Go to check out, check box for "purchase digital items as a gift" is perma-selected, try to finish order, receive "we checked your bag of holding and you already have a copy, go back to shipping to purchase as a gift"
> Go back to shipping info, box is still perma-selected
> Delete item from cart, try again, works this time, takes 17 minutes to receive email with gift code
Clean-Up Crew Pack (today):
> Try to purchase as a gift first: add to cart, select "purchase digital items as a gift" from cart screen
> Go to check out, check box for "purchase digital items as a gift" is perma-selected, finish order, receive only first confirmation email, no second email with gift code
> Check Order History, Clean-Up Crew Pack purchase not listed as a gift, check license, Clean-Up Crew Pack listed under my licenses
> Add to cart again, won't let me check out unless "purchase digital items as a gift" is selected from cart screen, try to finish purchase, receive "bag of holding" message
> Go back to shipping, "purchase digital items as a gift" is still perma-selected
> Try to change shipping address to my brother's email via "New Address", "purchase digital items as a gift" is now unselected, says "Please select Purchase as a Gift to proceed", now the box CANNOT be selected and I can't proceed without checking it
Hope this timeline of events helps with a fix! I am unsure whether this issue is just with the $0.00 priced gift purchases or with any gift purchase. I have previously purchased gifts with an actual price point without issue. Thank you!

Now that new classes are being added to DDB, including lower-power-level classes (i.e. the six from LotR 5e), what are the chances of getting the three sidekick classes from TCoE or the four survivor classes from VRGtR for use in the character builder?

I actually saw the page before it got taken down, and here's what I remember:
It was listed as $39.99 but on sale for $29.99
It was listed as a preorder with a release date of Nov 26 or 27 (next week!!)
6 new classes with 12 new subclasses (although from an online search it looks like these might only go up to lvl 10)
6-10(?) new species (I don't remember, but it was a handful)
15(?) new monsters
New feats (I don't remember how many)
Adventure for lvls 1-10
It did NOT say that the character options would only be usable for the 2014 rules (see the Grim Hollow books for an example)
I added it to my wishlist, but the entry in my wishlist is now showing a null entry linked to the 404 page. I imagine the page was accidentally dropped earlier than they meant it to bc they haven't made any recent videos or announcements about it. They probably quietly took it down so as not to overshadow the illrigger class.

I just fixed the problem!!! I just deleted the app and redownloaded it, and the app fixed itself😂 I feel like an idiot for not trying that before now. See if that works for you!

I have the same problem (iOS 17.1.2, iPhone 13), but my brother's phone (iOS 17.1.2, iPhone SE(2022)) renders the books correctly. I don't believe it to be a settings issue, because no matter what settings I have activated, the only visual effect is switching between light mode and dark mode. It's not an iOS bug, but it might be a bug with the iPhone 13 series. I don't know how long mine has been like this, I assumed it just hadn't been configured for mobile until my brother pointed it out. Have you figured out a fix yet?
