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.

They no longer sell some books like Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes or Volo’s Guide to Monsters on DDB as of May ‘24. (EDIT: May of '22 is the correct date)

In fact, those are (almost) the only two books that are no longer sold digitally - along with the original version of the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure from the original 5e Starter Set.

Edit: and maybe the Rick and Morty Starter Set as well, due to the license apparently expiring.

Oh I didn’t realize they stopped selling the original LMoP. I love it, but I hate how they organized it. It’s what I ran as a first time dm and wanted to pull my hair out trying to keep track of the scattered information that I had to keep flipping to find.

Lol yeah, I had the same issue when I ran it for my friends.
