That feels a lot like saying "I'm waiting to get shot at before I start looking for cover." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] static@kbin.social [S] 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) The vast majority of people go for convenience over morality. Look at reddit, it hardly lost users.dndbeyond is really convenient. With maps they're competing on features instead of legal stuff. It might even make roll20 get off their ass and make it more usable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] funkyb@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago It might even make roll20 get off their ass and make it more usable.

You have to own the sourcebooks for whatever class/race/background, but even if you don't, you can go back and edit in the things you don't want to pay for, which IMO is a huge step up from Beyond where it will prevent you from using homebrew that it thinks is too close to source that you haven't bought. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] static@kbin.social [S] 4 points 2 years ago* If.. you invest time the roll20 charactermancer might be great. But for me and many others dndbeyond is much more usable. Roll20 has the current-IP, they sadly fail to make it really easy. My hopes are on https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/5e permalink fedilink source parent [–] NkdFstZoom@ttrpg.network 1 point 2 years ago I've never had an issue home brewing stuff that's close to my nondigital content. Or even using it. Just can't publish it for people outside of my campaign. But within the campaign it's anything goes. Anyways, I'm in a funny pickle because if I buy everything on roll20 then I'm paying WotC again. If I just move my group over to there without buying... I have to homebrew every class feature for them, which is a nightmare. So I'm just going to use ddb for as long as I can until they make me not want to anymore. permalink fedilink source parent
