"I actually got mixed feelings about this. On one side I think it's a great move, but on the other, I feel it removes any chance that we will see non-WoTC stuff on the platform. Not even mentioning support for 3rd party VTTs etc."

In reply to this that I saw above:

DnDbeyond was never going to release non-canon products on the site. They'll support homebrew like they always have. Wizards has an open gaming license for a reason. 

Given how hard it would be to prevent fraud, etc with tacking on a key to a physical book sale, I think they other way might make sense. Buy a digital book using your online identity - then get a coupon to get a free / discount on a physical copy. WOTC also has the problem of multichannel sales (amazon, game stores) that they also have to factor so no channel feels slighted. Managing partner expectations is challenging as well.

Does this mean that people who have purchased the physical books will be able to get the books on dnd beyond without an additional purchase?

Yes this is a must. 

For the love of god, is there a way to unsubscribe from notifications for this thread???

Really glad this is happening. Good for Fandom for building a great interface, and I hope this works out better for WOTC. Many of my fellow players were surprised to hear that they weren't already owned by Hasbro.

Also I was always a bit worried that eventually WOTC/Hasbro would decide to sever DNDB from its content to try to make their own platform. Glad it worked out this way.

This is awesome! Congrats!!

hopefully we see digital codes inserted into books and maybe a VTT???? 👀👀👀 or maybe a subscription option that “includes” sourcebooks 🙏

I really hope they will allow homebrew classes now.

what are will then happen with home brew?!

This is a super important question, I hope that they give first time buyers of a book a code to access their book online. I can see the response being "You can simply sell the code or book two create two copies for one price". I hope they are better than that.

Thank God.

Wish you all the best and hoping that it becomes a success...

Besides, hope you finally consider make possible giving us keys to redeem digital copies of the books we have physically.

 Care to explain your logic here?

So... One comment I always hear when I try and encourage someone to join the site is how they don't want to have to re-purchase all their books through DNDBeyond, when they already have the Hard Cover.  Now those same people have always understood that since DNDBeyond is a seperate entity it can't make promises like "oh, we'll honor your hard copy purchases" simply because y'all are not WotC, that's not in your power to do, but now...

So WotC, are you going to seek two bites at the apple making people pay for a digital copy of what they already purchased from you physically?  Or are you going to try to work with people whoa re already supporting you to get them to come to this plat form where they can spend their money directly to you?

 I came here specifically to ask about this. Since I've seen other companies, such as pinnacle games, handle digital and physical copies easily and rewardingly for the customer. 

Now can you guys PLEASE publish the stats of Vox Machina and Mighty Nein?

they will have to get rights to do that.

Hi

So, does this mean that books, whether physical or digital, will benefit both entities financially, and thus there's a possibility of including digital codes within physical copies of the books?
