D&D Beyond Reviews 

Tried to cancel my subscription with help from support, but they never bothered to respond. After 3 days I cancelled the subscription myself and opened a disputed charge case with PayPal. A week later my funds are back in my account but still no reply from DND Beyond support. Guess they decided to downscale support to zero. DND Beyond is just a scam now. It used to be good. 🤷‍♂️

Update: because of the subscription chargeback, DND Beyond has decided to ban access to my entire account, including non-subscriber digital content which I paid more than $200 for. In case you had any doubt whether DND Beyond is a criminal enterprise, this should confirm it.

-WAS- fantastic; wouldn't bother now. Hasbro have successfully ruined an otherwise successful venture with their greedy, money-grubbing antics.

Removed the ability to buy individual feats/creatures in favour of buying £50 books all at once.

Joining so many other people in finding content elsewhere.
Hot tip to the company? Fire the clown that came up with the idea.

The desktop app is great for a dnd one shot, with the included basic rule system and one subclass give or take for each class and one feat (yes, one feat maybe two?). After that, pay! I'm the DM of my campaign for only a year and already spent hundreds of dollars in the website, because I like to give my players options. Now they decided to take away the ONE good feature of the store- being able to buy stand alone items from a book. Was going to make a new NPC with a subclass I don't have yet, and now I have to spend 30+ dollars to buy the entire book if I want to use their platform. Not to mention that, I should get a discount towards the book that I already bought pieces from, but for that to happen I have to go to CS to get my money refunded to me. This is downright a scam at this point, preying on the DnD fanbase, a bunch of introverts that will never write a message to retrieve 10$. Seen in forums that you can just make the homebrew content, but besides being against TOC, the last thing I want as a DM is to spend time also making up my own subclasses or magic items. Thank you kindly WOTC, me and my players will be moving on to other TTRPGs.

Hasbro got involved and ruined the platform with their money grubbing. They removed the a la carte purchasing features. I suggest avoiding getting involved with this platform until they fix this problem with and return the features taken away and guarantee that homebrew will not be removed from the platform

most stuff is locked behind a paywall, i gotta admit its great for newbies but it sucks for long time players who want to use specific subclasses, you cant even select homebrewed ones made by others because you need a subscription for that

Makes managing character sheets for DND so much easier, would rate is 5 star just a little expensive, and don't like repurchasing online versions of books I have already bought

Tools are implied to be free, but everything is behind a paywall after you make your account.

As much as I hate to admit it, everything on here is accurate. But I'm gonna be honest with you, you might was well just use wiki-dots 5E. Sure not the most accurate, but slightly better than DND Beyond, here's why.

DND Beyond requires a subscription based payment for your character library. Books you buy are permanent though, so plus there. Still, there are better ways to get into DND. But if you're a dungeon master who wants to learn, this is a great place to start. Its not as needed for the adventures though lol.

I started using dnd beyond in 2018 for my first ever game and have readily relied on it ever since.

I like that you can have up to 6 characters at a time for free, which is really handy when you are playing multiple campaigns.

It is also really helpful for keeping track of all aspects of your characters. Easy to navigate page lay out allows for you to add things to inventory, customise stats, pick up feats, take rests, Heal/take Damage and find specific modifiers. It also gives a break down of your actions helping you keep on track in battles. All of this combined with the ability to roll digital dice on any one of your stats with the press of one button means that if you have a phone or tablet you essentially can have everything you need to bring to play Dungeons and Dragons from any where.

From a DMs perspective, the campaigns section allows me to add all of my players accounts to one particular thread. This way I can keep a track of character rolls, hit points, inventory etc in one place.

The ability to quickly search any aspect of the game like rules or spells details, as well as purchase particular spells, feats, classes from a number of sourcebooks is unbelievably handy.

Its a good website, it really is, you can make 5 characters for free, look up some stats for basic monsters, and you can even get free digital 3D dice. But seriously, did you have to support LGBTQ? ITS A DND WEBSITE...

Bad service, since they have been brought

So I used to have access to create characters in my campaign....we all shared different books so no one had to buy them all but now my character creation tool only accesses my books...which don't include Xanathar or Tasha since someone else already had them....to use these sources I have to edit one of the three existing campaign characters I had previously in effect erasing it. Thanks DnDBeyond! 🤬

they will accept your subscription fee and deliver a non working product, then ghost you and keep your money.

For the past several weeks, Wizards of the Coast which owns the D&D brand has tried to amend the game's Open Gaming Licence to empower it to rip off the huge creator community that has made the game such a success. Nobody should trust them, nobody should use their product.

WOTC had literally hundreds of ways to "increase profitability" without resorting to stealing from it's fans by attempting to go back on it's word and destroy the OGL. They could've sold dice, made their own Kickstarter, or done any other kind of merchandising. The level of greed they have displayed is outright disgusting and I cannot be a part of DnD beyond any longer. I will be encouraging my friends to do the same

Cancelled sub because of OGL 1.1 and Hasbros greedy and ruinous practices.

Abolaitly worthless company, There is a major bug with one of the character classes, and I reached out to support on the issue. They referenced a 6 year old article which *did not provide a resolution, only a conversation in which an agent said “we will look into it” and when I tried to add a comment onto that thread I was banned for attempting to comment on an outdated thread.

All this after spending $60 on dnd content that I already owned in paper copy. Genuinely a horrible company who has for a long time only cared about short term profits

God awful homebrew creation process. I was making a race. (called kilsion if I remake it again after this site ruined it) I spent an hour making subraces because I made a intial version with one subrace so I copied the race, but it removed the subraces from it so I had to copy and paste everything back since I had it saved and continued with adding the new other subraces thinking, "well that was annoying" So I make it and then I check to make sure everything is there, it is. I publish it and then the subraces are gone. I have to put all the subraces back and then hope that actually works that time. Also you can't delete homebrew once you publish it so I have 2 published subraces that are the same because I had to remake it. Absolutely afwful site, wish I could publish my homebrew somewhere else that was mainstream

I was under the impression that when I ordered books from this site, I would get them in hard copy. I was wrong, and when you call their "books" they are online versions of the books. I could just find a pdf copy of the dnd books online rather than paying 150 dollars for them. When I ordered them, it asked me for a shipping address. Why would I need to give them a shipping address if they are not hardcopy? I am very disappointed in this and have spent my money on online copies of books when I could find versions of those online for free.

Like all the other reviews have said, be warned that there are no refunds and they can ban you and you lose access to all your books. Customer support is pointless, all they say is that there is nothing they can do.
