D&D 5E D&D Beyond Giving Away Acquisitions Inc and Phandelver For Free!

The ownership of D&D Beyond formally switches over to Wizards of the Coast this week, following WotC's recent acquisition of the platform for $146M. To mark this occasion, they're giving away two D&D books in digital format -- 2019's comedic Aquisitions Incorporated (because DDB was 'acquired', presumably?) and the D&D Starter Kit adventure Lost Mines of Phandelver.

The ownership of D&D Beyond formally switches over to Wizards of the Coast this week, following WotC's recent acquisition of the platform for $146M. To mark this occasion, they're giving away two D&D books in digital format -- 2019's comedic Aquisitions Incorporated (because DDB was 'acquired', presumably?) and the D&D Starter Kit adventure Lost Mines of Phandelver.

The switchover to WotC happens tomorrow, Tuesday 18th. As of today, D&D Beyond is also retiring Volo’s Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, while a new Starter Set is coming later this year.

You can claim Acquisitions Incorporated one week, from May 19th through to May 26th; Phandelver will be available for free to everybody from now on.

While lots of people are put off by the cartoony style and corporate humor, the book's rules for running a franchise are pretty solid. File off the serial numbers, and you can use them to flesh out the "running a business" aspect of D&D nicely.

The accompanying adventure, "Orrery of the Wanderer", is pretty good too.
Combine them with the group patron rules, and things like backgrounds tied to organizations/factions, and you can really dig deep into the whole "part of something bigger than yourself" story.

They're also great for managing followers and a stronghold in a simple and balanced way.

So has anyone figured out how to actually claim the book? I have a subscription to DND Beyond, but it shows Acquisitions Incorporated selling for around $25.00.

It's not the 19th yet in the States. Maybe try again tomorrow?

I note that LMoP still has a price tag on it as well.
