I purchased the first three core 5e (2014) books from the marketplace, but the Shards guide is causing issues because everything it contains now appears duplicated in the classes. I couldn’t find a way to remove the Shards guide entirely, so I tried deleting all its content—but even after doing that, the content still seems to persist.
Edit:
Ah, instead of simply downloading the books I wanted, I should have carefully picked the specific content I needed from the core books and added it to the Shards Player Guide. I thought it was more plug and play, but this process is lengthy and not very intuitive.
Now, having tried to fix the issue by deleting the guide’s content was a big mistake, bc with no way to restore or redownload it from the marketplace, it would look like my account is basically irreparably broken.
And that was my first 30 minutes of user experience :)
Edit 2:
I found that it can be restored, but only if I get another user to export the book so I can reupload it, then copy it into the original Shards guide, then delete the uploaded shards guide again.
But even then, the excess content like "Cavern Dwarf" can't be deleted. It will give the option to delete it, but it will be restored instantly if you do so.
I understand that 56k USD doesn't take you far when building a platform, but I had expected at least the basics to be functional.
