D&D: Mythic Odysseys of Theros Includes A Digital Discount
Players who buy a physical copy of the next D&D book from their FLGS will receive a 50% discount for the digital version from D&D Beyond.
In an unprecedented move for WotC, physical copies of the new book, Mythic Odysseys of Theros will come with a discount code for the digital version on D&D Beyond, allowing users of the online service to save 50% when they buy a hard copy of the book from an FLGS in the Wizard Play network. This news comes to us via Twitter, where D&D Beyond developer Adam “Badeye” Bradford recently chimed in on a post about D&D and Digital copies:
Been trying to make this happen for a long time.
Got a first victory on this front last week.
If you buy the MOoT hardcover from a local store, you'll get a 50% off discount for the digital version on DDB. It's a start, and I will be pushing for this on all books going forward.

Now this tweet is important for a couple of reasons. First of all, that’s Adam Bradford, D&D Beyond co-founder acknowledging that he agrees D&D source books should come with a code for a free digital D&D Beyond download. This is a move that players have been pushing for since D&D Beyond launched, and to see Fandom’s VP of gaming support that move as well is sure to be refreshing to fans hoping to see Wizards/Hasbro’s policies change in the near future. Especially with a move that’s surely intended to help alleviate beleaguered stores facing a significant loss of income from the Covid-19 lockdown efforts by boosting sales of physical copies of the new book.
This move also reflects a renewed push towards the WPN to help support their physical presence in this time when everyone’s staying home. You can pre-order the book from a store within the network by following the link below.

Clash with the gods of Theros in this campaign sourcebook for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
The world’s most popular roleplaying game meets the world’s most popular trading card game in this campaign sourcebook, detailing the Magic: The Gathering world of Theros for use in Dungeons & Dragons.
Legends walk the lands of Theros, a realm shaped by deities and the deeds of heroes. From the temples of omen-speaking oracles to the five realms of the Underworld, the champions of the gods vie for immortal favor and a place among the world’s living myths.
Choose a supernatural gift that sets you on the path of destiny, align yourself with one of Theros’s fifteen gods, then carve a tale of odysseys and ordeals across the domains of mortals, gods, and the dead.
What legends will you challenge—mighty heroes, inevitable prophecies, or titans imprisoned by the gods? Where will destiny and immortal schemes lead you? And what tales will you leave behind, celebrated in the pantheon of myths and writ among the eternal stars?
- Receive a supernatural gift from the gods, a set of special traits that mark your character for greatness.
- Select one of the new races for your character—such mythic peoples as the leonin or a satyr.
- New subclasses include the Bard’s College of Eloquence, masters of oratory; and the Paladin’s Oath of Glory, an affirmation of destiny laid out for you by divine providence.
- Encounter mythic monsters, creatures whose power and renown are such that their names are truly living myths. More than simply legendary, these creatures have abilities that will create a challenge fit for the gods.
- Wield god-weapons, signature items of the gods that allow your character to stand apart from other heroes. These can be a gift from your deity or perhaps you boldly stole it from them in a bid for ultimate power.
Happy Adventuring!
