D&D 5E D&D Beyond: No More À La Carte Purchases But US Customers Can Buy Physical Books

WotC has announced some changes to D&D Beyond's marketplace. These include physical products (for US customers), the removal of à la carte purchases, and various navigational changes.

You can no longer buy individual feats, subclasses, etc. -- you'll need to buy the whole book. The full list of changes includes:

• US shoppers can now buy physical books
• More info on product listings, including previews
• UI improvements to makee finding your purchased content and redeeming keys easier
• No more à la carte purchases (though your previous ones still count)

not sure that is a worthwhile update, intentionally making things worse is not really what I am looking for…

"À la carte purchases are no longer supported."

There go most of my future purchases on Beyond. I'm not sure what the last thing I bought that wasn't an individual spell, race, or archetype.

À la Carter purchases no longer being supported is a bummer. It worked well for the Yawning Portal type books. I could buy what I was planning to run from it. This saved me from having to purchase the book again in digital form.

Physical books can also be directly bought now for US people along with Physical/Digital Bundles.

so far I bought the whole thing, the one time I wanted to buy two adventures the whole book was only $3 more because the book was discounted while the pieces were not…

I feel like WotC wants me to move to Foundry, they certainly do not make DDB worthwhile this way

100% my thoughts, this is not making things better, its forcing customers to buy stuff they don't want to get the stuff they do want. I increasingly am starting to hate WotC, instead of making D&D Beyond better they made it worse. WotC greed will be their undoing yet.

So much for the fear of microtransactions

@Morrus this is interesting.
