One thing I would wish for... Get free access to DnD Beyond Books you purchased as a real book.

[GinnyDi]

It was SO cool to hear from the art & design team! I think it's easy to underestimate how much art can affect the ~feeling~ of learning about the game and designing characters, but seeing that backgrounds actually have visual environments paired with them gave me such instant serotonin and creative energy 😍

[DnDDeepDive]

I’m loving most of what I’m seeing so far :). Thanks to everyone who’s put so much work and love into the updates ❤

[matiej]

Would be great if we would get the DNDBEYOND online version with the physical books… 😅

[ConstructedChaos]

Here's to many more future adventures--no matter what system and edition you play. Now, let's see how much of that playtest material made it through!

[Kieran]

As a new player, I was really intimidated to pick up DnD due to how complicated it always seemed. Listening to this, it seems like they really focused on building what was already in existence for the veterans, but also bringing in elements to make it beginner friendly so both sides can play together. So thank you for including us all! My group is really excited to start!

[Planeswalker-Pt]

Bring back à la cart to the D&D beyond marketplace.

It was really nice seeing all the usable content itemized not just the amount of each thing (new classes, species items, and spells) available in that book separate from the compendium. It really helped deciding if I wanted to buy the book or not as a player. Where a DM would be interested in the monsters available in that book. Especially if the book is just a campaign setting that they wouldn’t necessarily want to run/play.

[xzanman]

Thanks for all the work thats gone into the books and the videos promoting them. Thank for not having Ads on your YouTube channel.

[zenith]

Look, just get the book bindings right the first time!

[anvilblackstone]

Here's a fun game to play with your friends; take a shot for every time Chris Perkins says "bastions" in this video.

[InsightCheck]

I’m loving all the changes I am seeing so far. Everything feels so intentional and truly like an evolution!
Can’t wait to see more :)

[michaellaramee]

I love this game, despite whatever goes on behind the scenes running the two sessions a week for my D&D groups fills me with so much joy. Excited to see what comes next!

[daxmcanear]

My love of this silly game overrides my distaste for the horrible corporate mind flayers.

[Newnodrogbob]

40:51 he says “lore glossary” and this gorgeous art of Tiamat leveling a town (with redesigned dragon heads) pops up. I had to go back and pause this.

[marcducorsky]

Hoping for a look at table of contents or the index

[RyanWright]

just recently got (back) into DND because my 13 year old wanted to play. Just bought the 2014 books. Gonna have to pick these up too. lol

[FreeXenon]

I would love to preorder from DND Beyond, but I do not want to screw over my FLGS which is amazing!
If you had the option to send my FLGS their cut or a preorder then I would happily order from here.
We need to continue to fund and support all of our FLGS as well as we can because they are slowly disappearing.

As a computer programmer and front-end developer I do realize how difficult that this ask is.
