Hello world!
Last month, we launched D&D Beyond Drops: a new way for Hero Tier and Master Tier subscribers to get play-ready content on D&D Beyond every single week.
Since launch, we’ve been reading your comments, questions, forum posts, Reddit threads, Discord conversations, survey responses, and support tickets. First, thank you for the depth and richness of your feedback.
It’s become clear from your feedback that there were two main things we got wrong with D&D Beyond Drops: content sharing and non-subscriber access.
We are working to have a solution to both of these in the next few weeks.
Content Sharing
We made the business decision to not make Drops content eligible for Master Tier content sharing. It’s clear that was not the right decision and we need to find a way to give Master Tier subscribers the ability to content share Drops. We have been taking another look and expect to have an update on the feasibility of content sharing in the next few weeks.
Availability for Non-Subscribers
We didn’t tell players about any way in which they could get DDB Drops content without having a subscription. While this was a possibility we had discussed internally, we made the wrong choice at rollout not to commit to anything yet. I’m here to correct that today. We will commit to releasing at least yearly D&D Beyond Drops bundles on the D&D Beyond marketplace every year (in May), covering the previous year’s content and purchasable for all players. We have ways to further augment this with player feedback. For now, I wanted to make that baseline commitment clear.
Stay Tuned For Updates
Please keep telling us what you want to see. Tell us what you’re using. Tell us what you’re not using. Tell us what would make Drops more valuable at your table. We’re continuing to read and listen.

Posted Jun 6, 2026They also never said they were going to stop. It's literally a "DnDTube" outrage story that will only get bigger if they comment on it.
WotC is a book publisher. D&D Beyond is only a small aspect of that business.

Posted Jun 6, 20261. Let's say I sub for 6 months, then I cancel for 6 months before subbing again. Are the drops I earned available when I cancel my sub? Would I be able to purchase what I missed out on? And if the answer is the yearly bundle, would the bundle be discounted since I already have 6 months of drops?
2. With the current system of buying books, players have the ability to pick and choose, to an extent, what matters to them. You don't need every book, just the ones with the things you want. Why not just make smaller drop bundles? Maybe it's a new player trying to use content from multiple years to make a specific class. Buying multiple yearly bundles for 5% of the content just to make that crazy Warlock build seems counterintuitive.
