WotC D&D Beyond Reveals 'Partnered Content' Schedule

D&D Beyond has published a release schedule for partnered content in the first quarter of 2026. This includes products from Eberron creator Keith Baker, Beadle & Grimm's, and Kickstarter favourites Loot Tavern and The Griffon's Saddlebag.

Partnered content is existing D&D books from third-party publishers on D&D Beyond.

• Exploring Eberron (Visionary Production & Design)
• The Pugilist Class (Benjamin Huffman)
• Faster, Purple Worm! Everybody Dies, Vol. 1 (Beadle & Grimm’s Pandemonium Warehouse)
• Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting: Part 2 (Loot Tavern)
• The Griffon’s Saddlebag: Book One (The Griffon’s Saddlebag)

Yeah, I'd love more 5e support for Eberron beyond Khorvaire. Hopefully if this updated version of Exploring Eberron does well, they'll be able to update Chronicles as well. IIRC Quickstone already uses the newer ruleset.

Quickstone is mostly compatible with 2024; it was written while the books were still being worked on and while most of the PC rules are compatible, the monsters and magic items feel weirdly in-between (for example, a few monsters still use resistance to adamantine weapons which isn't really a thing in 2024).

KB doesn't want to do more Eberron - this update is mechanical stuff which KB doesn't do. KB wrote the lore was stuff back in 2020.

Not exactly. Baker stated he didn't want to do anymore Eberron stuff on the DM's Guild, because even with his books being top sellers, the financial return wasn't worth his time.

Having his books be on D&D Beyond is completely different!

I don't think they consider DMsGuild a ghetto, at least for some creators (not least Baker). I mean, aren't the new membrs of the D&D team straight from DMsGuild content creation?

My take as well. DMsGuilds a great place for aspiring authors to cut their teeth.

Modern Dragon/Dungeon imho.

I haven’t seen any strong evidence it’s mostly ChatGPT output now - though if someone is using AI art, you can be forgiven for thinking they probably used AI for the text.

The downfall of the Guild started before AI was a thing. There’s a good video on the topic for interested readers:
I’m hoping that ubiquity of AI may put a premium on stuff that remains human-crafted. The evidence is mixed, though.

I'll watch this later.

Havent used the guild in years. Bought sone of your earlier stuff years ago.

Theres a few items I want from 5+ years ago. So it takes a strong recommendation or buzz to even look for it.

I saw that post by KB and that is not exactly how I remember it.* IIRC, KB said there were (at least) 3 reasons he was moving on. To my reading, #1 was the most important:

1. He was tired of Eberron and wanted to write other material.
2. He didn't own the setting
3. DMsGuild wasn't the best financial model

*Memory is subjective and faulty so I could easily be wrong and am definitely incomplete in my memory.

Well until somebody does some google-fu and looks it up . . .

I didn't get the impression that Baker was "tired" of Eberron, but tired of putting so much time and energy into something that couldn't pay his bills as a writer. And part of the reason for that situation is that he does not own Eberron.

Also keep in mind that the original "Exploring Eberron" and Baker's other books were team efforts. Baker is definitely involved with the 2024 update of Exploring Eberron on D&D Beyond, but how much time and work he personally put into the update . . .

He is doing a setting for Daggerfall right now, which some have speculated involves some ideas from his Eberron pitch that didn't get used in the final version.

While I think putting Baker in charge of the Elder Scrolls TTRPG would be AWESOME...

That has contract violation sirens going off
