To everyone at DnDBeyond - thank you for all that you do, and the opportunity to have discounts and sales when you do.

If I absolutely need acccess to a new product immediately, I am more than happy to pay the full list price from DnDBeyond.  If it's not pressing, I have no problem waiting the 1-2 months before I know a sale of some sort will roll up.

To everyone complaining and looking the gift horse in the mouth - would you be doing the same thing if you bought the audio book from Barnes & Noble (after buying the hardback), and you received a 25% coupon the next day?

You must admit paying full price for an item in February that you can't access until May, only to find that the price was reduced in April puts a bit of a bad taste in the mouth.

I just went through and read all these comments. What's crazy to me is so many people are mad about a discount......This company, which has no partnership with WotC decides to give a discount on ALL books, and there are too many comments here complaining about digital book prices, or complaining that WotC are not putting book codes on their books, which again, has nothing to do with DnD Beyond. It's just crazy how DnD Beyond does something nice by giving a GREAT discount, and then to see all of these negative comments. Way to incentivize them to do future discounts guys.

Currently, the discount doesn't appear in the app. Mobile users will need to navigate to the site using their browser app. Sorry for the inconvenience! 

Will this become available before the end of this sale?

Even using the browser app on a mobile device doesn't allow using the platform specific payment method (e.g. Google Pay).

Honestly I'd be much more inclined to buy the books off dndbeyond if I hadn't already started my collection of physical books. If there were a system to give access to those who own the physical books I'd be more inclined to start expanding my digital collection. 

That's the thing I started to think about.  I got the Monster Manual the day before the sale and was initially a little bummed about missing the sale price.  However, I felt fine about paying the regular price for the book in the first place (still cheaper than getting a physical book), so it's not like I was losing anything.  Still took advantage of the sale to pre-order the Ravenloft book, so I got the benefit there.

Did you contact customer support ? That's what I'll try later on.

If there nothing to do about it, it just means it's better to wait at the last minute of the period of pre-order just to avoid that bad taste if a sale comes up while waiting.

Avoid the hype and wait for the last minute to pre order. Not sure it's what they intended.

yeah, currently trying to see how much of a price difference between buying the bundle at full price vs buying each sourcebook individually during the sale. Seems like the only downside is a waste of time so I'm really not sure the logic behind not having the bundles discounted as someone could still get all the stuff cheaper. Discounting the bundles seems like it would only save time, i don't see any other downside for them. 

EDIT: The bundle for me (with my pre-purchase discounts) is $313, at 25% off that would be like $235. Right now with the sale, all the sourcebooks listed in the current sourcebook section come to about $270. So roughly $43 cheaper than the bundle. I'm really terrible at getting confused while doing math so i'm sure there are some nuances here but overall it wouldn't save me too terribly much, comparatively speaking in the long run to take the time to purchase each individual book. Still not sure the exact logic behind not discounting them but currently i guess it's not really worth it for me to make a stink about.

 The thing is, this literally happens all the time. Sales go on and off and if I walk into a best buy and buy a TV and then two days later that TV goes on sale, I can't walk in and demand the difference in price. However this example is with something I purchased and had access to immediately. There is something to be said about this happening for a product that you have purchased but cannot access yet. Leading into the next complaint:

 I feel like with this scenario, where you've paid for something but haven't received the product yet, it does feel a little cruddy to see it discounted before it's actually released and not have anything offered in compensation. This feels sort of like how airlines/hotels will refund a difference in cost if your flight/hotel becomes cheaper after you've paid for it but before the actual date. It's a cool incentive and makes sense, but obviously it differs from company to company. But I can admit I've remembered airlines and hotels that have done this when I go to book another trip.

Amazon also does that with pre-orders. Idk if it's exclusive to prime members, but if you pre-order something and if the price goes down at all in between your pre-order and the release date, you automatically get the lowest price. I preordered the FF7 Deluxe edition at $80 and ended up getting it for $60, even though the price had went back up to $80 at the time of release.

Thank you so much for doing this now!  You should do this during Tax season every year!

I told myself that I could buy myself a couple sourcebooks I’ve been really wanting once I got my taxes done, and I did it.  First time that I haven’t had to file an extension in 3 years.

Preordered Van Richten’s!

I know this is 6 days later, but if you message customer service they SHOULD give you the difference, at least in my personal opinion.

It's honestly ludicrous that I own nearly all the physical books, but to use them with my online group I have to buy them all over again, and then I have to have a subscription on top of that. Ridiculous.

No one is forcing you people to buy them. Jesus, it’s different companies. Stop being such a Karen.

 I know! I own every book and I have to re-buy them on here! There should be some kind of code or scannable thing to transfer content to the website.

 Ya. It's just ridiculous

This discount got me to finally splurge on the phb and dm guide. I was using basic rules before.

I don't understand why access to the digital content is SO expensive. I've already dropped a few hundred bucks on the print books and even with your misleading bundles and "deals" you are still price gouging players. I understand it takes money to create and distribute the content but why should a digital copy cost the same as a print book? The are entirely different media and you don't have to physically print digital material so you're saving a ton of money right there. Really makes players like me feel like you're taking advantage. You might reconsider your business model and pricing methodology. I mean the Stranger Things kids would NEVER be able to afford to play D&D at your prices. Just saying.
