Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

The digital DLC is currently only available via an Ultimate Bundle costing $160.

The dhampir will be among several playable species included in the digital exclusive Astarion's Book of Hungers, which is currently only available as part of a $159.99 "Ultimate Bundle." Announced today during a panel on the upcoming Forgotten Realms content at Gen Con, the dhampir will make its return in the upcoming "digital DLC" for the Forgotten Realms books. An Ultimate Bundle was also put up for pre-order on D&D Beyond, which includes 8 species. Assumably, the dhampir and seven other species will appear in Astarion's Book of Hungers and perhaps split with one other unnamed DLC that's also included in the bundle. A third DLC, Netheril's Fall, is an adventure of unspecified length.

The fact that the dhampir and other species content will be included as "digital DLC" is interesting for several reasons. D&D previously made three species - the grung, locathah, and tortle - available exclusively as digital content. However, all three were released to benefit charity, with the tortle eventually making its way into Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. So, while this wouldn't be the first time that D&D made player-facing content exclusive digitally, the intent (charity versus "Digital DLC") is certainly different. Additionally, it's unclear whether these digital DLCs will be available to purchase separately or if they'll only be available via the Ultimate Bundle, which includes physical and digital copies of the Forgotten Realms books, plus the three DLC packets.

I like to buy sourcebooks with more PC species but I don't want to buy a book only for a couple of pages about a PC specie. I would rather to buy something like Moderkainen's monsters of multiverse, a book about PC species and monsters.

And I have got to await a lot of time if I want to buy the translated edition. You can't imagine the frustration of buying the original in English, and then a couple of years later the translation is published
 



Link?

As stated in the OP, all I can find is the "Ultimate" print/digital bundle. I cannot find a digital only bundle at all.
 

THANKS! I was having a hell of a time finding that on the DDB website!!!

EDIT: But . . . WOW. $127 for both digital books? And the info on the page implies the DLC bonuses (other than the animated map) only come with the "Ultimate" print/digital bundle . . . although I know it's been reported on the DDB boards that the digital bundle will also come with the DLC . . .

But I think I'm going to wait before pre-ordering . . .
