D&D Beyond denies rumors of subscription fee increase, removal of homebrew content – Rumors of upcoming changes to its subscription fees, including a 400% rise in the highest tier and the removal of homebrew content from the free tier, have prompted a response from D&D Beyond. Three content producers identified sources at Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast who raised the red flag, which sparked the myth.
Rumors of a $30 subscription fee are false.

“Rumors of a $30 subscription fee are false,” wrote D&D Beyond on Twitter. “Homebrewing is core to D&D Beyond. It’s not going away, and we’re not going to charge you for it. Your homebrew is, and always will be, yours. We’ve always been excited to see your creations both on and off D&D Beyond!”

The report also said that D&D Beyond would launch an AI DM feature shortly, most likely utilising ChatGPT’s technology since it has shown to be a fairly effective DM. Additionally, D&D Beyond disputed that any AI-based DM functionality was in development and pointed gamers searching for a DM to the official D&D Discord.
“No one at Wizards is working on AI DMs,” D&D Beyond said. “We love our human DMs too much.”
Players’ cynicism of D&D Beyond’s assertion highlights how severely the community’s faith has been damaged as a result of the OGL issue. Despite reversing a portion of a new OGL 1.1 licence that would have effectively put an end to the thriving creative ecosystem that surrounds Dungeons & Dragons, public outcry is still very strong. Executive producer Kyle Brink wrote another apology and promises that the upcoming OGL will respect users, content producers, and third-party publishers in an effort to stop the loss of thousands of D&D Beyond members.

“We are sorry,” wrote Brink. “We got it wrong. Our language and requirements in the draught OGL were disruptive to creators and not in support of our core goals of protecting and cultivating an inclusive play environment and limiting the OGL to TTRPGs.
Starting right away, we’re going to do things better: in a way that involves our entire community of artists and is more open and transparent. with time to refine, receive criticism, and advance.
