D&D 5E D&D Beyond 12 Days of Christmas 2024

This is total BS. They want my address? I have to go through the actual checkout to get this? Bugger that.

Yeah, pretty blatant way to get people acclimated to using their checkout: proven method, actually, if someone uses your checkout even for free, they are psychologicaly more likely to do so again in the future.

I don't see any Kobold Press stuff available as part of this promotion. Just the three things listed above. Are you seeing something different?

No this is just a reference to Kobold Press' holiday giveaway. Theirs seems to be new free stuff (at least to me), not second shots at old free stuff.

It's probably new to a lot of people. Wouldn't surprise me if they can't help 12 days woth a new free thing.

I feel people here recognize me as a calm, easy going, never arguing person.

But man, I am starting to get riled up when they offer me a special freebie, and it turns out to be a frame or a dice set.

I agree. They're also asking for a phone number

I think the only social platform they're promoting this on is Instagram, which doesn't have a link-in-bio type service that lists the giveaways available.

Also, if you already have a Beyond account you likely already have given them your info on previous purchases so you don't need to enter that info again

It's not a freebie if they're fishing for all that info, rather than just giving it to you.

I mean, the company that makes stuff I like to buy wants my info to sell stuff to me...? 21st century standard.

I never get why online stores need my phone number. It’s not like they’re going to call me.

If you don't want to give your address, just give them 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500. Phone number? 555-123-4567. Done.

I don't see what the big issue is, they just have a consolidated checkout system.
