D&D General Is D&D Beyond Exclusivity Bad for D&D?

[AlViking]

Of an entirely different order.

Still luxury entertainment.

"D&D" is not in the Creative Commons. The 5E SRD is.

We are having this discussion because there are literally Beyond exclusive materials already.

The 1% of content on DDB that are not published elsewhere are things that in the past would never have been published in the past, except perhaps with Dungeon magazine which died with TSR.

The 1% of content on DDB that are not published elsewhere are things that in the past would never have been published in the past, except perhaps with Dungeon magazine which died with TSR.

This ignores literal decades of alternate digital distribution methods employed by the industry, WotC included.
