​​Disclaimer

​​THIS IS A PERSONAL ENDEAVOUR. IT IS NOT SPONSORED BY D&D BEYOND STAFF OR MANAGEMENT. I DID THIS ON MY OWN. THIS IS MY PRISM THROUGH WHICH I FILTER THE VIDEOS AND COMMENTS AND NO ONE ELSE IS TO BLAME. THIS IS A SUMMARY WITH NOTES AND NOT A DIRECT TRANSCRIPTION. NOT EVERYTHING HERE WAS SAID BY ADAM OR ANY OTHER D&D BEYOND STAFF MEMBER EXACTLY.
​​Basically, a lot of people asked for text summaries of the developer stream but D&D Beyond wasn’t doing it. So, I thought I'll try. Also, I see a lot of the same questions repeated again and again so I'm trying to collect them here.
​​
​​Another important note: D&D Beyond is a PIECE OF SOFTWARE and, as such, it goes through SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. And, as such, everything is fungible, liquid and THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET, until a product is officially out the door. The Developer Update Stream and this here post constitute no guarantee whatsoever of timelines or even plans. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. And it usually does.
