I assume it is mostly the 12 subclasses that need updating

would not be the first time a DDB release was updated for 2024 when the PDF was for 2014

my understanding is that it is a board game, not a TTRPG https://gamefound.com/en/projects/von-braus-publishing-ab/league-of-dungeoneers-expansion-and-2nd-print#/section/project-story “What is League of Dungeoneers? League of Dungeoneers is a huge (13kg!) dungeon crawl board game with heavy...

yes, and why is that a problem?

I assume that is pretty far down the list. The main considerations probably are popularity and ease of integration into DDB. Maybe also that it is only of limited competition to WotC material, so additional monsters, subclasses, etc. but not the Level Up or ToV equivalent to the PHB or MM

If all you need is some text you can attach to a level then yes, if ability X starts changing some numbers on your char sheet then no

that’s like saying that if your factory can build pickup trucks it should be able to also churn out F1 racing cars. It really depends on the details / class mechanics

looks like the 3pp content does not find its way into the character builder. Someone asked in the posts below the article whether the Tamer class would be included in Heliana’s Guide and the answer was “Currently, we are not planning to include the Tamer class. This is because we can't support...

I would definitely make that a longterm goal if I were WotC, and start with bringing the 5e-adjacent ones on board

I assume classes / subclasses are the worst part. Adding an adventure with some custom monsters and items should be pretty simple however

nvm

another issue could be that people do not like vancian casting in the abstract, but that does not mean they will prefer your specific solution once you present it

that works too, the necessary differences due to medium is why I wrote similar, not identical ;)

I mean, if you want to capture an audience you will build something that is similar to what they already like. Not sure how else you would go about it

well, Dragonborn are in the PHB, so not sure what exactly the balance between these two camps that WotC struck is supposed to be… did they add them but make them suck so no one would want to play one? That would be a disservice to both sides
