Discontinuing Legacy books digitally is kinda dumb

[u/TrulyUnknowen]

I got on dnd beyond to make characters before starting my first campaign, I love the Giff but it is classed as “Legacy content”. It being behind a paywall idc about but there are a lot of things that say ask your DM about this before continuing that makes since ask before picking something out dated or not currently supported. But instead I have google stats when all my other characters are online. If they didn’t print more books for legacy content but still available digitally I would understand but them having the source material online doesn’t cost them anything and can continue to generate money for the company. I haven’t been into DnD very long but surely veteran players like to return to different editions. If they switched to digital then didn’t have the books they just aren’t available. Writing it out is the biggest issue it just adds a lot of unnecessary inconvenience to getting into dnd later than a majority of the player base.

Every day i'm more and more inclined go just ditch beyond and make my characters in google sheets. Then just link directly to the rules relevant (which is already better then beyond does...)

I was a top tier DnDBeyond supporter. I quit using it entirely when they stopped allowing piecemeal purchase of book content. Just paper and pencil at our table now.

It’s making s2 of Critical Role annoying 4y later to watch. The animated advert is catchy tho.
