    I’m so glad they love this game as much as I do. If they eventually added a DM or creative mode to run custom campaigns I’d be over the moon. Take my money Larian!

      Pretty sure custom campaigns will definitely arrive at some point, just like they did with DOS2. I want to say Larian has even stated that they’ll eventually open the doors for it and potentially modding support?

        Mod support has definitely been mentioned as an eventual goal, IIRC though they didn’t have plans to implement an official DM mode.

          I kinda bet WotC would take issues with them making a dm mode like in Divinity… Since they are trying to get people to only ever play dnd on the dndbeyond vtt, I doubt they’d be keen on letting larian basically build a better version, lol.

        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. They wouldn’t even allow them to do significant free updates unless it was tied to a paid product or hefty subscription fee.

        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.

            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.

      do an expansion pack or w/e set in exandria with the critical role voice cast (along with the og cast ofc because they’re awesome)
