Players who only have access to the 2014 Player’s Handbook will maintain their character options, spells, and magical items in their character sheets. Players with access to the 2024 and 2014 digital Player’s Handbooks can select from both sources when creating new characters.

Semi related: did the dndbeyond (the app) survive? I bought the rulebooks and imagined characters even when there’s little opportunity to actually play.

I want to download the app and buy the newer books, but I might shake my head in horror as to what has become of dnd.

The current app is pretty useful. I can

  • access all the content that I have bought on dndbeyond
  • view the player characters that are playing in my campaigns
  • play my own character(s) as a player, including dice rolls if I want. For major changes to my character it redirects to the website, but it handles all common in-play updates directly in the app (hit points, conditions, inspiration, equipment, preparing spells etc)

Be aware that you can purchase new content in the app or on the website, and the prices may differ between the two. In my case, the app uses Euro prices including VAT, while the website uses USD prices where the Sales Tax/VAT will be added on checkout. Most promotions will only work on the website.

I only bought books through the website to avoid the apple tax. I'll look for more information to see if the newer books will "entertain" me, given that I don't have time to play anymore.
