Dungeon Master's Guide in Roll20?

Hello, I'm looking for the DMG to purchase, will be helpfull with all the magic items in it. Sound normal to have it available, since we have PHB and MM, no?

They said before that the DMG is planned but with no timeline last I knew. Basically it just has a lot in it that isn't very straight forward. Like optional rules and tables that roll on tables that roll on tables. They could just make a bunch of handouts but they'd prefer to add more value, and some of that value requires adding features that don't exist yet (like the recursive tables).

A DMG doesn't exist currently. Considering it having a different spread of content than the PHB, MM or the other books, it have been said it was a bit harder to pin down how it could be made and fit in context of Roll20. IIRC it have much less Roll20 integratable content than the other books, but a compendium with the magic items and the DMG roll tables sure could have some use.
I think it would be nice to at least make magic items from DMG available.
I personally created my own via nested macros and rollable tables. Took the better part of a couple months but i 100% suggest it, especially since it teaches you a lot about the system itself within roll20 and allows you to do more in your games.... That being said, if roll20 wants to buy my work id be willing to refine it, it includes clickable macro buttons every rollable table from every chapter, including NPC building, random name generators, etc.
How about just adding the playable races?

How would that be done? I doubt anyone will want to pay full price for a partial DMG, and it's unlikely Roll20 will be allowed to sell "parts" of a book in that manner. (I know they sell token packs and map sets in that way, but this seems a whole other order of content licensing.)
Yeah, I just want the full version of the DMG. ;)

DnDBeyond has a very different working relationship with WotC than any other company.
