Is it significant that this is the first instance (in any case for me) that this edition is referred to as 5.5e?

“Note, that the Artificer subclass is rewritten as a Fighter in this release”? Bruh. Really? Come on.

Other than that, I was a huge dinosaur nerd as a kid and still am to some degree, so I’m looking forward to Dr Dhrolin’s Dictionary of Dinosaurs. It sounds fun and it should be interesting.

Oh they're changing the Bone Sculptor Artificer from Dr. Dhrolin's to an Fighter Subclass? I guess that makes some sense since the subclass technically is considered an Artificer COMPATIBLE subclass to get around WotC's publishing rules which is why I never thought it would come to dndbeyond lol

I wonder if this means all the player options in the book are being updated because if that is so then we may get a better product out of it since the player options were definitely the weakest part of the book.

"*Note, that the Artificer subclass is rewritten as a Fighter in this release"

LMAO, Artificer being the black sheep of official subclasses will never be not funny.

I whole heartily agree... I really hope everything got stat buffs or anything to make PC options better.

Whoever decided to change the Artificer subclass to a fighter one, I urge you to reconsider. This is a terrible decision. No reason to shaft Artificer. it needs more third party content. 

I will only buy this cool sounding Dinosaur book if has the Artificer subclass.

Although we all love the Artificer and want more subclasses for it, that isn't going to happen in this case. You can still buy the original 5e book from PalaeoGames' website if that's all your interested in.

Please add the Investigator from Mage Hand Press

My question is, if ya'll are specifying 5.5e for the books, then does that mean we are also going to get the same books for 5e or there are going to be releases that are 5e like Heliana's guide to the Hunt part 2? Will we also be able to have griffins saddle bag vol 1 for 5e too? Cuz many of the books announce here and Q1 have 5e versions since they where made before 5.5e so it should be possible to also have those right?

It was to comply with WotC's requirements for Partnership. You can still buy the original PDF and physical book with the Artificer Subclass intact.

Awesome. I hope Kobold will get more of their Midgard content to Beyond as well. 

Exciting! My main hope is for more Valda's content, and more from Loot Tavern (looking at L'arsene's Ledger and Ryoko's Guide!)

I guess somebody will be very happy with Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs in DDB.

  I certainly am ;D

My inner 12 year old could not be any happier with more dinosaurs and Norse content. 10/10 for the third party creators, and a slight 'woo' for DBD. It may be upgraded to a more impressive 'Woo' with more good decisions.

With DDB getting an engine upgrade and WotC warming up to third party content, any chance we'll see a D&D x Warcraft collaboration? Or Borderlands? Will D&D become the UE5 of TTRPGs for IPs interested in approaching the demographic?

Here's hoping Dictionary of Dinosaurs does well here so we can get Portfolio of Paleontology.

"Note, that the Artificer subclass is rewritten as a Fighter in this release"

Wow, even you guys are sandbagging the Artificer class too. This is an incredibly stupid decision. The Fighter is drowning with 3rd party subclass options while the Artificer is starving for ANY subclass option right now.

Would love to see Odyssey of the Dragonlords: Remastered make it to Beyond too!
