Mike, my long standing group is transitioning from 2e to 5e. How would you incorporate the feywild into the older planar topography?I'd think of it as a transition layer between the Prime Material and Positive Energy Planes

How to approach D&D Monsters
when you’re talking about D&D monsters
it’s important to realize that they’re
more than just their challenge rating
I talked to Adam Lee about some of his
favorite monsters about–we likes most
about how you have to approach them I
mean I love frog hema like Frankenmuth
is super awesome it’s just this total
freak and Terry being the ugliest
monster may be the ugliest monster I
love things from the Fein folio I mean
there’s the thought eater is just this
weird
bizarro creature and I like things that
are that that are kind of funny like
from the funny early days of D&D where
things were just bizarre and and strange
and I don’t know you wouldn’t even think
that there are actually monster like but
they are we put a lot of them into my
violation some of these you know
monsters that were you know you’d rather
rarely see I mean I love the the mythic
monsters as well you know the monsters
like a sphinx like a sphinx is a great
monster I you’ve got to deal with it in
a different kind of way that you would
another you know most people think Oh
monster I’m gonna go hit with my sword
and I like monsters that you’ve got to
deal with this thing a different way
you’ve got to use your your intelligence
to get through or you’ve got to use your
wisdom or you’ve got to use your ability
to invent some kind of a unique way to
bypass it you’ve got to roll play it
your way through it
dragons you know course dragons are
amazing and but I liked again I like to
use them in a different way they’re not
just these giant flying flamethrowers
you know they’re just destroy and wreak
crap
the dragons are intelligent and I mean
most of them and you know to be able to
actually find a way like okay you know
how do I deal with this thing of what
does a dragon want and what do dragons
represent and I like monsters that like
kind of like a norovirus thing it makes
you think about what this monster
represents in in sort of a you know in a
mythic sense I mean one of our story
meetings I was talking about the Fae
wild and that things in the fav realms
are actually sort of manifestations of
emotions like anger is is will manifest
as a monster in the fable
and so a monster will sort of embody
this anger or jealousy will it will
manifest as a monster so I like monsters
representing sort of ourselves you know
they’re they’re facets of who we are I
mean really when we were inventing
monsters is you know early you know
primates certainly whatever we did it we
were creating sort of these these facets
of ourselves and like embodiments of our
fears or embodiments of our doubts or
whatever and you know I love I love it
when a monster takes on that role
instead of just like I’m just gonna hit
up a hammer something that is is you
know out there and it’s freaky or makes
you think about something deeper than
you know just sort of solving it
physically

D&D Beyond Questions & Answers
Excited to announce our full launch on August 15th!

Will the digital copies have an option for offline access? Having all the players online at once has been known to crash our wifi.We're working on an app as fast as we can!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
That’s disappointing. A lot of us want standalone PDFs that work offline on PC. The lack has been keenly felt and encouraged piracy.We're working on offline capabilities, never fear!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
Are you still going to find a way so that people who already own core books won’t have to pay again on @DnDBeyond? I’ll keep asking. #dnd Not sure how you got this impression – we are focused on making a digital toolset, not physical books. That's where the cost comes from!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 20, 2017
The eventual goal is for #DnD Beyond to completely replace the physical books.”
To be clear, we did not write this interview and that sentiment was never mentioned by us! Phys. books will continue to thrive with demand.— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
I would love to use your site. But I don’t want you snooping in my twitch account.. what to do? Can I make local account?Will content from Unearthed Arcana be featured in @DnDBeyond or will that need to be put in via homebrew content?We have plans to incorporate UA playtest content. We'll share details as we're able.
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
We are owned by Twitch, so a Twitch account is required for login. We won't go snoopin!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
Sub prices good, DLC not so much #critique
I recommend a group option to distribute costs, or have a sub tier that can access all content Just a suggestion: Maybe display that info somewhere on the page.. It’s a trusted label, why not use it? I would have trusted the login thenGood point! We'll add that to the suggestions list!— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
A Master Tier subscription allows a group to share all their purchased content with up to 12 free accounts. Cost distribution achieved.
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
Will I be able to buy the Monster Manual in @DnDBeyond and use it there without paying a monthly fee?Yes – all digital content is a one-time purchase.

hey team! Super excited for DDB! When you refer to “full groups” for the DM-level, what’s the max? Mine is six+me.Master Tier subscription allows sharing with up to 12 free accounts – not counting any players that also have a subscription.
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 19, 2017
Will there be a character builder on here??There already is!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
I don’t have twitch. I don’t want to use twitch. How else can I use it?A Twitch account is required for log in!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
Is there a mobile version? It is completely mobile responsive, but we are also working on an app!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
Costing:
SRD = Free
PHB = $30
Player Sub (unlimited Chars etc) = $3 p/m
DM Sub (share paid content w/players for free) = $6 p/mWorth? For those asking, digital copies of the books are not PDFs, but they include the entire content, not just the database. A sample: pic.twitter.com/plIinOmYoX
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
will i need to purchase volos to unlock firbolg, yuan-ti, etc in the character creator?You can purchase Volo's in its entirety, or you could unlock only firbolgs or yuan-ti for $2.99 each – there's flexibility.
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
Just sat doing admin for our new party member. Transferring from D&D @DnDBeyond to a printable character sheet & a magic list. Phew.
— Chris Bell (@Frakbuddy) July 18, 2017
We're working on a printable version, never fear!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
I don’t like the idea of charging more for the DM’s. I understand the additional value, but we’re the people who bring all the customers. Master Tier w/ sharing content with all players (in mult. groups) is intended to save a lot of $ for all. Pooling resources encouraged!
— D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) July 18, 2017
What feature will be in Modules that you purchase. Will it just be a database of the adventure? Will we have maps w/quick links?All the tooltipping/ crosslinking that is found throughout the site + all interior art + hi-res maps + all NPCs, monsters, items in listings
