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".

I'm excited to see more from the Dungeon Dudes and Ghostfire Gaming, and I'm excited to see Griffon's Saddlebag as well.

I'm only really interested in the rest of the Tome of Beasts and the Creature Codex from Kobold Press, as their other products that I have tried to use have been rather lackluster for me personally but I know a lot of people really like their content so I'm happy to see more coming to DDB

I haven't had much exposure to the content made by Hit Point Press, though I'm excited for their Floral Dragons book.

I don't think I have seen much content from Free League or Loot Tavern, but I'm interested in seeing what products will be coming to DDB.

Honestly, MCDM is the only one that I'm really not interested in at all, but still a lot of people like their products so I'm happy to see them included here for others' sake.

All in all its a good line up, and I do hope to see more creators join as time goes on.

I hope that the two MCDM castle books get combined and updated.
They're decent, but could use polish.

It was either Dungeon Dudes or Ghostfire Gaming who stated that WotC handled all of the tech stuff.

super excited for this! We've already been using Griffon's saddle bag in our games, now I don't have to home-brew it as content, another awesome move WotC!!
Now if I could please get Deep Magic 1 and 2 I'll be so happy!

I'm currently running Empire of the Ghouls. While it's not perfect, it's very strong and has a comical amount of content, including 10 gazillion different types of ghouls. It also has a book of lairs and a players guide of player options. I wouldn't be in the least surprised to see that package show up on DDB.

I'd really like the Monster Vault, though, although that feels less likely, since it's a would-be Monster Manual killer, even moreso than Flee, Mortals was.

I haven't had much exposure to the content made by Hit Point Press, though I'm excited for their Floral Dragons book.

They have real problems with fulfilling their Kickstarters remotely on time, but their end products are good. And yeah, the Floral Dragons book looks like a winner.

I'd like to return my Tales of the Valiant slipcase set now. Apparently according to Kobold Press I might as well be using D&D Beyond and D&D 5e.

 

[Libertad]

In the past I used to get excited at seeing more 3rd party support hit wider audiences via D&D Beyond, but after what they tried to pull by restricting legacy content people paid for, any such enthusiasm I used to have for this is gone.

I don't mean to be a downer, but I can't trust buying anything off that platform now.

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.

This is the 5e version, so it will likely be the same character sheet.
