D&D (2024) WotC Announces 3rd Party Creator Partners

​

This content will be coming to the D&D Beyond marketplace--the selected publishers are The Griffon's Saddlebag, MCDM, Ghostfire Gaming, Dungeon Dudes, Hit Point Press, Kobold Press, and Free League. Generally, these are creators who have achieved million-dollar Kickstarters with 5E compatible products.

Notably, this also includes the official Lord of the Rings roleplaying game from Free League, who also produce The One Ring, the non-D&D version of the game. WotC will be selling the official D&D compatible Lord of the Rings TTRPG on its primary platform. Back in 1992, TSR (the then-owners of D&D) nearly acquired the rights to JRR Tolkien's work, and then passed on it, then-CEO Lorraine Williams saying it was "not worth our while".

 

[DEFCON 1]

Some of these companies are already on DDB, aren't they? Or is the Marketplace considered something different?

Will they have pdfs of any of this, or is it unfortunately just integrated into D&D Beyond's architecture?

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

Middle-Earth being on DDB is a game changer to me. If well integrated into the character sheet and all that, it could offer a pretty good variant for low-magic gaming.
