So just to be clear, you are saying that you can save a Beyond book to use offline and outside of the Beyond app?HTML is a savable format

I save copies of the HTML pages for all of my D&D Beyond sources, and frequently reference those local copies. It's easier to search those, for one thing. I'm not saying that's ideal*, but yes, you can save a book and view if offline as long as you don't mind the HTML.So just to be clear, you are saying that you can save a Beyond book to use offline and outside of the Beyond app?
yes, never used the app. Chances are you lose the links / popups if you are not online (describing eg darkvision or giving you statblocks), but you still have all the content, so just like a save to PDFSo just to be clear, you are saying that you can save a Beyond book to use offline and outside of the Beyond app?
The two times I got web-exclusive content from DDB I immediately copied the text offline. It's clunky, but as has been said, you don't own material you need an internet connection to access.yes, never used the app. Chances are you lose the links / popups if you are not online (describing eg darkvision or giving you statblocks), but you still have all the content, so just like a save to PDF
I know there's a lot of effort right now trying to make TTRPGs play just like a video game, but for those of us who still play in meatspace, paper is quite nice for writing on, making notes, highlighting important things, tracking HPs, handing out cool player maps and aids that can be passed around the table.Reporting for duty, sir. And why would you want to print it? The whole point is to have it all on the screen so I don't need to have a bunch of paper lying around being useless.
oh, I always copy it locally too, in fact I turn it into a PDF, as I prefer that over HTML, but in the end a local copy is a local copy, regardless of the actual formatThe two times I got web-exclusive content from DDB I immediately copied the text offline.

D&D is a table top game designed to be played, in person, around a table, with paper and pencil. Anything else is a poor reproduction. Not that it won't stop micro-wotc from turning D&D into a video game. With also a secondary game called D&D Go.I know there's a lot of effort right now trying to make TTRPGs play just like a video game, but for those of us who still play in meatspace, paper is quite nice for writing on, making notes, highlighting important things, tracking HPs, handing out cool player maps and aids that can be passed around the table.
You do know that a lot of people have a lot of success playing it online so they can enjoy playing witht heir now far flung gaming friends from high school or whatever, right. D&D is not "designed to be played around a table." It was built that way because that was what was there -- and then almost immediately incorporated play by mail. And very soon afterward, play by email and MUDs.D&D is a table top game designed to be played, in person, around a table, with paper and pencil. Anything else is a poor reproduction.
