In the future, you guys should just create a dice set that ALL PROFITS will go to the/a cause. 

But it's a start.

"Proceeds" here mean all the money coming to us. This is what I shared above.

Only half?

Wording on things like this is sometimes tough, but the idea is with dice sales this week, we are donating our profits after our costs are paid. I assure you, the intent is to get as much money as we can quickly to those that need it.

Thanks!

As a DM, dndbeyond only really provides me with one thing: it makes my players experience far easier. 

After buying all the core books and buying a Master subscription, I'm frustrated that this is a feature you've chosen to put effort into over many other requests and needs from the primary base of your service. I get you need to make additional revenue and the player side need things to buy, but I feel more held hostage by this product than I feel benefited by it.

Give me ANY tool that makes DMing easier!

Timing of roll outs matter. $15 dice and you're donating half of it to BLM is neat, but you've got too many irons in the fire. Finish something valuable before you pick your next project.

We appreciate the feedback, and I share the desire to see the other features you mention come to fruition on DDB.

The thing is, we have multiple teams working on multiple things. Digital dice is one of those things, and the other features you mention are handled by other teams. I personally wish that we could throw all of our people onto a single feature to make it happen quicker, but the truth is, software development doesn't really work that way - more people doesn't really translate to moving faster. (The idea behind the concept of "The Mythical Man-Month.")

I can assure you that those other elements are being developed, and we'll continue to do our best to get them in the community's hands as soon as we can.

Thanks!

Love that you're standing up for the cause but $15 for digital dice, that you can only use when subscribing anyways, is an insane price. I'd pick these up in a heartbeat if they were in the $5 range and I'm sure many others feel the same.

Everyone can use digital dice - we are in the public beta phase and it is not limited to subscribers.

 I'd suggest editing this clarification into the post as well! Not everyone reads the comments. Tweets can't be edited, but I'm sure you can edit these kinds of posts on your own site at least :)

Thanks again!

We're going to use the initial wording, as saying something like "all profits" will likewise invite as many (or more) questions (things along the lines of "how do you account for profits," etc.). Using the more specific threshold on proceeds at least confirms at least that much.

Mainly trying to explain the spirit and intent of what we're doing here in the comments. As I've said elsewhere, we're not going to be perfect in our response and we will make mistakes, but we would still rather try to do something rather than simply post an image and call it a day.

Thanks!
