Cool, now local gaming stores now need to pay an not insignificant amount to upgrade their PoS till system to connect to DDB code generation database.īasically, trying to get codes into D&D books will cause a non-zero amount of people to be worse off, and not just WotC or DDB. Some people suggest point of sale code validation or generation.You could put codes behind the counter, but that still has the same loss prevention issues.Or they rewrap it and sell it, and someone who thinks they're getting the code isn't. DDB loses out, and so does the store because they now can't sell that unwrapped copy at full price because the code is gone. Id say pay a small penny as support if you enjoy the book you used. Also, what about losses? It now becomes trivial to steal copies on DDB you just go into your gaming store, nip behind a bookshelf and pull off the shrink wrap and photograph/take the code. DnD Beyond has some free books, such as the Elemental Evil Players Companion among.What about the consumers who don't want to use DDB? They're now paying extra for no benefit. Let's assume everyone takes it on the chin WotC takes a loss, DDB does and the books go up by $10.Who would pay that percentage? Should WotC take a loss? DDB? The consumer pay more for books?. That would require shrink wrapping the books, something proven to deter sales (as people want to be able to leaf through the books).This wouldn't benefit the people who already have the books who want the free versions on DDB, who are the most vocal on demanding this feature.All WotC needs to do is throw DDB a percentage and it can be done. This should be the norm: purchase hardcover and get a free code for the website. If you buy the books either at a store or on this website Wizards of the Coast doesn’t give a rat’s hairy behind what you do or how you feel about it because they got your money either way. Asking DDB to give you the books for free because you bought them somewhere else would be like going in to Barnes & Nobel and demanding free hardbacks because you bought the digital edition on DDB. If you want to use that info on this website you have two choices: 1)Do the work of copying all of that info onto this website as private homebrew or 2)Buy the books again here.ĭ&D Beyond only makes money by selling you books just like Barnes & Nobel. If you want, you can purchase any of those books at your local store and use all of that information at home free of charge. I am a free spirit no one tells me what to do. You can also download the app and have every book you purchase stored neatly in your phone and use it for free anywhere you like. and with a few leading questions you can read them like they were childrens books. If you want, you can purchase any of the sourcebooks on DDB for $29.95(USD) and use all of that information on this website free of charge.

No one in their right mind would want to pay 100 per book just to use a website Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures
