![]() I think they even ask you for your DDB Account, so I think they basically buy the book for you. ![]() Just checked B&G sites, it looks like the DDB content bundled only occurs with the Platinum Editions which are pre-ordered and timed release product. I do hope for the sake of the hobby though that anything put out in a "prestige" format by WotC in house is released simultaneously with more broadly accessibly priced content of the same sort (in other words you don't need to buy the luxury edition for the content, even if it's just a DMsGuild release). That coupled with questions about D&D Beyond usage on the survey results in "who knows?" how D&D will be distributed over the next few years. The Curse of Strahd Boxed set had a "was it worth it?" question if you identified as an owner, with follow up questions as to what a prestige boxed set should contain. I got a sneaking suspicons we may see something like that in the 2022 settings products in a format "we haven't done before." I'm pretty sure B&G has come up in D&D surveys. ![]() ![]() It's sort of the opposite of "DDB should be free with WotC purchase" because you're basically paying a huge premium for Beedle and Grimm to sort of be a personal shopper.Īlso note B&G's boxed sets are very limited, I don't think they've done a run of anything, at least platinum editions that was over a 1000.Īll that said, it does seem that Curse of Strahd Revamped was an experiment in testing the market for WotC to do B&G style enhanced editions of content a shot. Like Davyd outlined, they're basically buying the DDB edition of the book for you as part of the $500 box. Why raise the costs for everyone when not everyone desires both products?īeedle and Grimm's is also a much smaller niche "bespoke" market. In the current model, those who don't want either digital or physical have the option to only purchase the medium of their choice. Likewise, we also cannot assume that WOTC is just going to eat the cost of giving away D&D Beyond access because -> nobody is working for free <. You do understand that placing a code in the book would essentially double the cost, right? Under no circumstances would the D&D Beyond product just be assumed "free". I hope that we're not under the assumption that if a code was included with the book, it would remain at the same price. Draw more people to your sight by giving them a reason to use your site. They say D&D has never been more popular than now. We should be able to scan the baroda or even better upload the receipt of purchase to DDB then once acknowledged it should be uploaded to our accounts.makevyour money of subscriptions and add ons. We have purchased a physical copy of the Books we should not have to also purchase a digital copy. I understand DDB is a separate company working with Wotc this something the 2 companies should work out. As a general rule, no book includes a code or means of redemption on D&D Beyond. The three above examples were exceptions that were, for the most part, trials in various options. it was handled by the store distributing the codes.ĭ&D Beyond is a separate company from Wizards of the Coast and as such no revenue from the physical books goes towards this site. This was in limited numbers (I believe 20 codes per approved store) and only for pre orders. There was a limited offer run through certain gaming stores where a pre-order of Mythic Odysseys of Theros could come with a 50% off code for the D&D Beyond copy.This again was because the product was a sealed box The Essentials Kit also included a code for 50% off the Player's Handbook on D&D Beyond.This was possible due it being a sealed box The Essentials Kit included a code for a free copy of the adventure (and its three follow up adventures) on D&D Beyond.Keys for products and discounts have only occurred in three instances: There are no keys to be found inside any of the physical books.
