D&D Beyond's Legendary Bundle is a hefty package with many D&D items and resources for those who make the purchase; however, it is not cheap.

D&D Beyond's Legendary Bundle is a pack that unlocks all Dungeons & Dragons adventure and sourcebooks for the D&D Beyond website users. The Legendary Bundle is not the only Bundle available in the marketplace but it is by far the most expensive. The Legendary Bundle is a hefty package with lots of items and resources for those who buy it; however, it is not cheap.

Launched in 2017, D&D Beyond is a digital toolset that allows players and DMs to easily keep track of their items, character stats, and abilities. DMs can use the website to create encounters, homebrew things such as monsters or feats, and manage campaigns using D&D Beyond. D&D Beyond offers a subscription service that allows users to create unlimited characters. In contrast, the free version is limited to six and access game tools like the homebrew library and character portrait frames.

Most D&D players will already have physical copies of many D&D titles, so repurchasing them is a little frustrating. Such a substantial investment needs careful consideration and may not suit everyone. So is this Legendary Bundle worth the price tag?

D&D Beyond's Legendary Bundle is a package that unlocks all official D&D 5th edition content on the site. The Bundle is 46 books at the time of writing, consisting of 27 D&D adventure books and 19 sourcebooks. That is a massive amount of content as it includes all items, monsters, subclasses, and other exclusives to the particular books in which they appear.

Once unlocked, all content from the books can be read and used immediately. This is especially useful for DMs who can add purchased items to their player's inventories or monsters to the Encounter Builder on the site. In contrast, the Legendary Bundle does not include additional items such as digital dice sets and maps, which are sold separately.

While no one can deny that D&D Beyond's Legendary Bundle offers a considerable amount of content, it also has a large price tag attached which can give many people pause for thought. There are some ways to reduce the overall price as the site does deduct previously purchased D&D digital books from its total so that players won't be paying for the same content twice. D&D Beyond also offers a standing 15% discount off all future books purchased on D&D Beyond for customers who buy the Legendary Bundle.

The discount on future content is a significant point in favor of the Legendary Bundle, but many will still wonder if that makes such a substantial purchase worth it. D&D Beyond used to offer coupon codes that could stack with the deductions for previous purchases; however, the site no longer does that. D&D Beyond does have sales on their various Bundles. Those interested in waiting for any sales should watch the D&D Beyond site and their social media for announcements.

Realistically, the Legendary Bundle offers more content than the average player will ever need, but it is excellent for DMs running more than one D&D campaign. The majority of the Legendary Bundle is made up of adventure books, so the average player really only needs to pick up the sourcebooks. D&D Beyond does allow Master tier subscribers to share content, so a good idea could be for a group to buy the Bundle together under one account. A better option for players is the Sourcebook Bundle or the Player Bundle, which offers different content more suited to character creations. As one would expect, the Sourcebook Bundle contains all official D&D sourcebooks and provides a 10% discount for future sourcebooks. The Player Bundle includes player-focused content from books such as Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.

Ultimately, D&D Beyond's Legendary Bundle is a fantastic investment for DMs or D&D groups who want to make the purchase together. While it is expensive, the amount of content and money off future digital books does make it worth it. The Legendary Bundle offers enough content for adventures and campaigns, which is more than enough to keep any Dungeons & Dragons party busy.
