Dungeon Masters might pick up a campaign or two to have easy access to the information they need to run a game on the fly, plus a subscription to allow them to share that information with their players. They’re paying $29.99 for the Player’s Handbook alone. Most consumers likely aren’t paying $600-plus for D&D Beyond. But even those packages feel like overkill. There’s smaller bundles, in the $300 range, that will give you access to core rulebooks and campaign books. That’s enough content to fuel multiple D&D campaigns for many, many years. For the price you also get 15% off anything that comes next - including the upcoming Magic: The Gathering crossover Mythic Odysseys of Theros and the Critical Role-themed Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount. It sounds like a lot, but it’s actually a significant discount off the cover price of those same books. It includes access to all of the sourcebooks, campaign modules, and individual adventures published so far in digital format - more than 30 titles in all. That’s the price for D&D Beyond’s Legendary Bundle, as it’s called. But, I had no idea what access to all that content actually cost consumers: $637.19 to date. I’ve used it for years now, both to cover the original role-playing game for work and to act as Dungeon Master in my own personal games. To research that article, developers gave me unfettered access to all of D&D Beyond’s content.
It includes a character generator and a digital character sheet, and gives players access to the same materials that show up in publisher Wizards of the Coast’s printed books. It’s a web-based portal and a smartphone app. In 2017 I did a story for Polygon about D&D Beyond, the official digital toolset for Dungeons & Dragons.
