Is this going to be done for Fantasy Grounds D&D 5E? I have tried to look for it in the shop and in the forums and have seen nothing related to it as far as whether or not it is going to be done. Of course it is not the easiest thing to be searching for considering in the shop there is the D&D Essentials Bundle. :)
Thanks for any information on the box set for FG though.
Yes, it will. I understand some US store has exclusive selling rights on it until September, so it won't be available before then.
Yeah, Target have exclusive distribution until September 3rd.Quote:

Sorry for necroposting this but I didn't see any news related to this. Is what you say above still valid?Quote:

It says this on their website:
Release Date: Target: June 24, 2019; Everywhere: September 3, 2019

Will Smiteworks be selling the 3 unlocks for the Essentials kit that D&D Beyond is selling? I know they have a tie in with the Essentials kit and are a free and unlocked with the code from the kit...

They are in the pipeline as far as I know.
Thanks Zacchaeus! I'm assuming they will all be sold and not part of the initial Essentials box set?
As far as I'm aware there won't be a charge for them since they are free add ons. But I'm only peripherally involved in them so I may not have all the facts. :)
Ahhh - cool - thanks Zacchaeus! That's good 'preliminary' news. I'm hoping that you are correct!! :D
We are still looking into this and trying to figure it all out. It looks like both D&D Beyond and Roll20 have them sold individually for $4.99 each and part of a bigger bundle. The D&D Beyond Kit only includes the adventures, so it cheaper. Roll20 sells the Standard Essentials Kit for $24.99 and it basically matches what we have in our version. They sell a Deluxe Edition for $34.99 which includes the additional adventures plus the Standard Kit. If we price them separately and they are picked up as part of our D&D Adventures Bundle, then the total price for the Essentials Kit and all adventures from us would be $32 in total. That is what I'm leaning towards doing.
Thanks for the response Doug it is appreciated. From what I understand (and I could be wrong), I believe D&D Beyond does not charge for the 3 added adventures provided that you bought the D&D Essentials box set as there are coupon codes within the box set which allows one to redeem those three additional adventures at no price. If the box set isn't purchased, than I believe there is a cost. I'm not sure what Roll20 does. That said, once this is vetted out, I'll then make my choice. I'm definitely interested in it though!!
Thrilled to hear this news! Great work on the Essentials Kit so far - already integrating it with LMoP!
This would be great, looking forward to reading some updates :)Quote:
