WotC should hire the studio to build the engine for the VTT in dndbeyond.

The problem wouldn't be the studio making it, it would be the monetization imposed on every facet of it. Any possible add-on would be dlc or part of a subscription.

I don't really want Larian getting looped into being a WotC shill. I hope they stay independent and keep on making the best games they can make. Single player or small party story games NEVER get old.

DNDBeyond is just another bullshit live service with subscriptions in perpetuity.

Imagining Withers saying "Fuck you, pay me!" is pretty amusing, though!

That’s preposterous, WotC would never do anything like that! They’ll helpfully not even mention $ anywhere in the app, instead we’ll get Gold Pieces (gp), Electrum Pieces (ep), and Platinum Pieces (pp). If you log into D&DBeyond, you’ll get a daily 5 gp reward and if you complete your daily quests, you have the chance to unlock even more rewards (1 ep per quest). Every session you run or participate in gets you another reward, while every purchase of a digital-only DLC rulebook grants you further rewards.

Nevermind that it would take hundreds of daily logins and constant vigilance with daily quests to even be able to afford anything, they’ll helpfully provide the option to “level up” your account to instantly unlock rewards without having to go through all that trouble.

Amen to this!

If anything I would love for Larian to continue developing their DoS rules engine further. Playing BG3 I just wanted the rules from DoS. More punts and more combo barrels.
