WotC WotC Adds 'Partnered Content' to DnDBeyond--Starting With Critical Role's Tal’dorei Campaign Setting

New 'Partnered Content' area has appeared!

One of the promises Wizards of the Coast made in the aftermath of the Open Gaming License 'crisis' back in January was that D&D Beyond would eventually have some kind of third party marketplace. Up until now, only official D&D books from WotC have been available there.

Now, however, there is a section of 'partnered content' -- six titles, including three Critical Role sourcebooks, as well as some older licensed items like the Rick & Morty boxed set and the Minecraft monster tie-in. The latter were already on DDB, but the 'Partnered Content' home for them is new, as is the Tal-'dorei Campaign Setting.

As of now you can pick up Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, Call of the Netherdeep, and the Tal'dorei Campaign Setting Reborn.

While this 'partnered content' is a long way yet from the third-party marketplace mentioned earlier this year (which is likely a a couple of years away), it is notable that third party content is now appearing on the site.

Well I hope there's protections against Hasbro being able to put all the CR stuff on the VTT all willy-nilly. Because that's what Beyond is set up to do
I mean, they would get a kick of that, too, so I.imagine they won't mind that. The product is for sale.on Roll20, as well.
 

They still sell it in PDF and book form. PDF on both their own site and on Drive Thru. It would be interesting to see the aggreement, but I seriously doubt they gave their rights to their ip away.
Wildemount/Exandria is pretty much the only setting with an official 5e book that you can't make material for on DMsGuild. Critical Role/Darrington Press has partnered with WotC to publish some material and put it on Beyond, but by all accounts they're keeping a firm grip on the IP.
 

For what it's worth, Beyond put up a couple of preview articles.
