[QUOTE="Burnside, post: 8847121, member: 6910340"] Regarding 3PP content, I think it really depends on what sort of content we're talking about. As long as the 3PP doesn't involve new mechanics, it would be fairly easy on a technical level. For example, a 3PP adventure that just uses text, images, and hotlinks to pre-existing DNDBeyond content for creatures, items, conditions, etc. If I really wanted to, I go on their forum and make that right now. They did mini-adventures regularly as blog posts when they had James Haeck on staff. There is already a front-end tool for creating spells, monsters, items, backgrounds, feats, races, and subclasses. Quality curation is a stickier issue, but there's no reason they can't do it to the degree that DMsGuild does it (which involves a fair amount of community self-policing and reporting). They could even potentially do it in collaboration with DMsGuild - no 3PP in DNDBeyond that isn't on DMsGuild, so effectively you let DMsGuild handle the policing for you, a job they're already doing. FWIW, if there is a 3PP DNDBeyond marketplace, I expect the TOS to be similar to DMsGuild - once content creators put stuff up for sale there, WotC becomes the publisher and effectively owns it (no Kickstarter rewards, Patreon content, selling the product on your own, etc.). If and when they do 3PP, I expect them to start with a test batch of 10-12 hand-picked products, possibly stuff that's already DMsGuild best-sellers, rather than just opening the floodgates. [/QUOTE]
