Still, considering DDB is a licensee of D&D, I'm surprised that this deal happened at all (not that I'm complaining).Tim Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682826627977565611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562546944242885901.post-90082143338751844592019-05-20T22:30:36.768-04:002019-05-20T22:30:36.768-04:00More here on reddit:

I know they wanted to have digital keys for the 4e books, but they just weren't ready technology-wise. <br /><br />I'm also very excited it expands upon the Phandalin region. I'm not usually a Forgotten Realms guy, but the Phandalin area is generic enough to be easily lifted into just about any homebrew.

Alongside the Phandelver starter set, this should make for an even better sandbox for prospective players and DMs who are new to 5e. I know I'll be looking for it at my local Targets as soon as it's supposed to be there.<br />I also read that the box is supposed to include a code to get the adventure on D&D Beyond as well - I do hope that is the case (and that they do more of that in future products)Reese Laundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225208626688676372noreply@blogger.com
