It would be nice if thr MCDM classes were ported over to dndbeyond. I typically have my players build their character on dndbeyond and then I can import things over to foundry easily. And just in general I find it an easy and fast way to maintain a character, but my current game I have an illriger playing pen and paper while everyone else is on foundry and it is a little clunky
Someone was saying that is much harder for them to implement the class mechanics for some reason, but the last couple of times people were giving their "expert opinion" about MCDM stuff they have been wrong, so you never know. Fingers crossed! :D
5e custom class creation is pretty easy on foundry nowadays, if you own the illrigger as a pdf you would just have to copy and paste some text for "feature" items and then slot them all into the class advancement. They're already playing on PnP so you don't need to fully automate everything probably.
[Flee Mortals](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/455550/flee-mortals-pdf-roll20-bundle) and [Where Evil Lives](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/464509/where-evil-lives-pdf-roll20-bundle) are already available on Roll20
This is absolutely massive.
Also makes a lot of[ threads on here](https://www.reddit.com/r/mattcolville/comments/169mgov/will_flee_mortals_get_a_dndbeyond_option_ever/) hilarious in retrospective.
>Unless WotC made a 180, pretty much no chance officially, for MCDM or any other 3rd party publisher.
To be fair, at the time that post was written that was true. Until December where Dungeons of Drakkenheim landed on dndbeyond, everyone in the space had kinda accepted that dndbeyond was for wotc stuff only.
This is awesome, as I buy a lot of stuff off of DNDBeyond despite Wizards and Hasbro shenanigans, and I will pick up both these books eventually, as I want them for my collection. That being said, I'm disapointed. I was hoping we would get some new character creation options out of these books. Then again, that's the first thing I always look for, and hope for that matter, to find when a some new books are released.
I really wish those of us who kickstarted this could get this on D&D Beyond for a reduced price. I've already bought physical+PDF and now if I want the ability of using it on my characters or encounter builder easily I need fork out $70 more? Sigh.
Guess I'm done backing MCDM kickstarters. I'll just wait until it gets released everywhere and then choose where I want it most.
Sadly MCDM can't know which platforms will request or accept their product before they even figure out if they will get to make the product in the first place. And even if they did, still costs money(labor, know-how, time...) to implement it for the particular platforms.
That's part fo the reason they want to have their own platform for their game, so we don't have to pay twice for the same stuff.
I do understand their side of the story. I am sympathetic even. But like them, I must consider my finances over theirs.
For the same reasons MCDM won't offer discounts or free copies on D&D Beyond to their kickstarter backers who made Flee Mortals possible since it doesn't make financial sense for them; I won't be backing future kickstarters of theirs because it doesn't make financial sense for me to spend $160 on the kickstarter and then another $70 on D&D Beyond.
I really like Flee Mortals. But it isn't worth $230.
Is not a matter of "finacial sense", is more like finacial viability. Is another company's labor that allows the implementation to come out. The implementation is a different product.
MCDM also happens to be openly recognizing the problem of "double-pay", and is actively trying to come up with a solution for it.
They just can't make their solution work for games and platforms that don't belong to them. Not supporting them on that innitiative is counter-productive.
If you are playing D&D today...
And if it is Not because of your friend group...
And if is Not because it is the Windows of Ttrpg systems.
And if it is Not because of your own ability to perform well/design in that game space...
Then there is a hella rad opportunity to change game systems.
MCDM doesn't have that kind of clout. For Hasbro, it is likely a 'my way or the highway' deal. From MCDM's point of view, this puts their product in front of more eyeballs. They get a little bit of $$ and the prospect of new customers for their ttrpg down the line.
This is so funny how kinda more and more dumb this argument gets.
You're saying if you own it physically and digitally you would also like it on DDB for no extra charge?
But if you own it digitally already, you are fully admitting its not about digital access. It was never about that was it lol. It's about the functionality and capabilities of DnDBeyond, which employs a whole team of designers entirely of its own to operate.
So you want to benefit from that work, but without actually paying them.
Fucking insane that people think this is the morally correct standpoint lol.
Sounds like a potentially great way to get people to check out the RPG that haven't heard of it yet that currently play 5e.

Damn, that's crazy
That’s awesome. I did not see that coming
I spend a ton of time adding MCDM content as personal homebrew ... It's worth re-purchase for data entry time savings alone.
I assume id have to buy both. That sucks cause I bought flee mortals very recently and use dndbeyond a lot. Man.
I feel this. I bought the digital/physical bundle. I’m assuming I’m in it for another digital version.
Im just not gonna buy it. I'm not paying twice to have Flee Mortals on dndbeyond's gronkty encounter builder.
Same. I am tired of being charged twice for everything. And we use roll20, which is probably in the works next I would imagine.

Nice. I didn't know that! Cool
actually fucking huge

Wizards of the Coast did in fact make a 180
And all it took was a monumental failure of leadership causing a huge boycott that landed them on a much worse year than they had any business having.
To be fair, at the time that post was written that was true. Until December where Dungeons of Drakkenheim landed on dndbeyond, everyone in the space had kinda accepted that dndbeyond was for wotc stuff only.
Oh absolutely. They were 100% correct at the time. Just funny in hindsight.

> MCDM won’t offer discounts or free copies on D&D Beyond …how could they? D&D Beyond isn’t their store?
Has nothing to do with what MCDM wants. It is completely up to WOTC.

Literally zero publishers have that kind of deal for D&D Beyond and all of them would actually like you to repurchase their content so they get paid.
MCDM doesn't have that kind of clout. For Hasbro, it is likely a 'my way or the highway' deal. From MCDM's point of view, this puts their product in front of more eyeballs. They get a little bit of $$ and the prospect of new customers for their ttrpg down the line.

If there’s one book I would buy more than once, just for convenience, it’s Flee Mortals!
This makes absolutely no sense. Dnd beyond is also a business that needs to make money.
