In a realm between worlds lies the Temple of Beyond, an arena where adventurers from across the multiverse compete against one another for their chance at glory. Ravenous monsters, terrors, and the mysterious Master of Ceremonies stand in their way. But in the end, only one victor can claim the ultimate prize: the power to change one event from their tortured pasts.

Maby we'll get the ability to more user friendly manage feats on the app
I'm looking forward to this myself. I'll be watching it as soon as it hits YouTube.
I just saw this, it is insane
Can't wait for this!
maybe don't be a dick? this in no way takes away from the dev team's time spent on features.
True, it takes away from the Dev Team's funding. DDB hired people to star, produce, & support this, rather than hiring people to design, test, & implement new features. May be worth it, may not be, odds are we'll never know either way.
I just with the DNDBeyond was more focused on helping players and DMs actually play the game rather than gather attention by getting these mini-celebrities (which quite a lot absolutely obssess over) to play games. Imagine if the funds for the film crew, the players, lights, editting, etc all went straight into the development of this website.
Where's the accountability? Where has our money as subscribers gone into further developing the site? Seriously?
Considering this is a good way to promote the website, wouldn't it be a good idea to perhaps share the links to the ddb character sheets?
They said the sheets feature spoilers, but will share them after the show concludes.
This. It is always a balance act between marketing and developing, but having developement so neglected just hurts me as someone who is here for playing the game myself. I care little about watching others play the game. And I bet I am not alone in that. Of course free users will be the most happy, whenever they get content for free as marketing, but as I am paying for it: I am not.
Episode one was a lot of fun. I've unabashingling stolen, and used Bronze's term "forbidden bacon" at my tables. There it will stay for all time.
Pretty sure that's all the women who play dnd. Right there, all five.
sure it does. resources spent elsewhere
It would be cool if we can see their character sheets...
They need advertising to keep being a tremendously powerful sight, and they can use this to get more people on it
Like Truesight or Darkvision? What kind of range are we talking here? Persistent, or is it limited to a certain number of times per day?
It's, uh, "website" sight, which allows you to see giant arachnids after they sink their mandibles deep into your flesh and suck the fluids from your body in mere seconds...
THE BATTLE FOR BEYOND EVER RAGES!
Take up arms in the fight of your life!
