D&D General What Product Do You Wish They Sold For D&D

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Hell yeah. And I’d leave out stuff like races that don’t have a significant role in the setting, only include the most iconic subclass and the most setting appropriate subclass for each class, etc. Just focus the ruleset more tightly on the setting, and make it clear that the game is compatible with normal 5e D&D if you want to add more options to your Adventures In Eberron game.

Hmm... I tried to cut back to the bare essentials for an Ebberon set, and it's still pretty chunky.

Products that I wish WotC would sell:

• The Mystara setting and adventure modules, updated to 5E.
• If not Mystara, then a Llorwyn/Shadowmoore campaign setting (sim. to what they did for Theros)
• Wargaming/Mass Combat/Siege rules in a boxed set, fully 5E compatible
• PDFs of all of their printed books available after purchase (download key inside the cover, maybe?)

A way to speed up dice-rolling at the table. I lose a ridiculous amount of time each game due to the guy who only brings one set of dice and the guy who takes time picking out his dice and cross-referencing to his character sheet (slowly) for each attack. I don't like electronic dice because it's easy to hit "roll again" subtly or by accident, and there's a certain fun factor of "hey everybody, look at this pile of max numbers!" that goes away.

Having found nothing suitable on the market, I am working on a Kickstarter for a product that helps with this:

DnDBeyond is freaking amazing. Perfect? No. But amazing.
Still, I’d like the choice to have PDFs. And I still have an anxiety about DnDBeyond not being able to fulfill the idea (a promise?) about the material being always available to me even if they go belly up.

I now want what you just described.

I mean, you can copy and paste it all.......just in case. Now, you won't have the tools, but you'll have the data.

Yup. Don’t get me wrong, that’s very nice.

Interested.

DnD Beyond has a “game log” for dice rolling that is shared between players. So rerolling is obvious. Plus now it works to show dice rolls in discord.

Sure, I'd rather have hyperlinked, useful, PDFs than copy and pasted stuff too....don't get me wrong. It just isn't a priority for me.....like a great 3D VTT or an amazing initiative tool

regarding point1, have you seen Arcadia?

for point2, e-ink refresh rates are pretty bad in ways that make using a PDF on them painful, but calibre can put a lot of things onto ebook readers. Those ebook readers like nook & kindle tend to support a pretty wide variety of file types beyond just epub.

That last point though, I doubt we will ever see those surface tables it ran on again & suspect we won't want them. Look at the nfl hololens video & it's easy to see that table updated for AR as VTTs & AR technology advances but I don't expect it to happen soon.

I have not heard of Arcadia but I did watch the first 10 minutes of the pitch. It seems like a useful product but I'm wishing for an actual magazine, not a PDF....because I am an analog GM.

E-ink has always been a tech I've been hoping would progress better than it has. In my fantasy world the display would be full color, full size two page spread, days of battery life, and reasonably responsive. I'd actually be happy with a "JPG" version of a book to read on the device. I don't need the ocr, searching , or hyperlinking. I am looking for a literal electronic version of a book.

That's why it's a WISH list.
