D&D Beyond

Overview

D&D Beyond is the official digital toolset for
Dungeons & Dragons https://groupfinder.eu/library/dungeons-dragons-55e-2024
, originally launched in 2017 and acquired by Wizards of the Coast in 2022. It serves as the primary ecosystem for the 5th Edition ruleset and the updated 2024 "5.5e" core rules. In 2026, the platform is undergoing a massive "Game Platform" rebuild, moving away from its original hard-coded architecture to a data-driven engine. This allows the platform to support more complex customization and the new "Season" based content release model introduced this year. Description D&D Beyond is the definitive "companion app" for D&D. It combines a high-speed character builder, a digital library of all official sourcebooks, and a native 2D virtual tabletop called Maps. The platform is designed to be the easiest way to play the game, handling all calculations, spell slots, and inventory management automatically. With the 2026 "Season of Horror" and "Season of Magic" updates, it has become a living platform that delivers monthly content drops and themed community events directly to player character sheets. System Overview & Key Features
The 2026 Game Engine Rebuild Wizards of the Coast is currently rebuilding the backend of D&D Beyond from the ground up. This move allows the site to finally support highly requested features like custom classes, complex homebrew non-magical equipment, and more responsive rules validation that doesn't rely on legacy code from 2017.
The Maps VTT The integrated 2D virtual tabletop is now free for all users to host games as of late 2025. It features "Quickplay Maps" for all official adventures, allowing GMs to launch a session with pre-placed tokens and fog of war. New "Reveals" functionality lets GMs share high-resolution gallery art and monster lore directly to players' screens during play.
New "Quickbuilder" Flow To improve onboarding, the 2026 character builder features an "art-forward" Quickbuilder mode. It guides players through the most impactful decisions—like subclass and background—while using optimized defaults for smaller details, allowing a new hero to be ready for play in under five minutes.
Content Sharing (Master Tier) The Master Tier subscription remains the most popular for groups. It allows a single user to share their entire digital library—including the new 2026 Ravenloft: The Horror Within and Arcana Unleashed books—with up to 12 players across five different campaigns.
Legacy vs Core Toggles Following community feedback, the platform now features robust toggles to enable or disable "Legacy" (2014) content. This ensures that groups can choose to stick strictly to the 2024 rules or mix in older subclasses and spells without the interface becoming cluttered or confusing.
Digital/Physical Integration Most new 2026 book releases now feature a "Physical + Digital" bundle. When you buy a hardcover from the official store, you receive an instant unlock code for D&D Beyond, ensuring your character builder and digital library are updated before the physical book even arrives in the mail.

Bi-weekly one-shots in Sydney, Australia

No paid games No paid games
Greetings fellow DnD-ers located in the Sydney, Australia area! This is a preliminary post to gain traction for the DnD 5e/5.5e one-shots I will be hosting at Forestville RSL (22 Melwood Ave) in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, AUS. The tentative first session date is 18 May, 2026. Games will run from 6-10pm. A maximum of 5 people per game. Information about the specific module will be shared closer to the start date.  About me, the DM: I started playing DnD ~1 year ago and jumped into the role of Dungeon Mistress a couple of months after that. I've run one short campaign to completion and attempted a longer campaign with a different group, but discontinued that game due to a mismatch of player and DM expectations. I respect the DnD system as the mechanical, combat-oriented system it is and hope to reflect that in how manage my games. My purpose for starting up these bi-weekly games is to generate a DnD community/presence within the Northern Beaches area as it's a bit of a dead zone for this kind of thing.  These sessions are free to play. Just be respectful to me, the other players, and the space.  Until we meet, keep on adventuring!

Hi everyone! I am a life long DM looking to get back into the game after a two year hiatus, but now I need some awesome players to help bring my story to life! I would prefer players with some amount of experience but the most important thing is to love the game and be invested in making some new friends to have fun with! If you are not interested in role playing and working together to create a richer narrative than this might not be the group for you. The story I have in mind takes place in the Moonshae Isles of the Forgotten Realms, we will be using published content as a baseline but this will be a homebrew world so changes will be made from the official canon. The Moonshaes are a fantastic land filled with inspiration from Irish mythology and Arthurian legend so you can expect lots of political intrigue and Fey nonsense lol. I'm ideally looking for people who would be interested in collabortively building their characters with me to fit the setting so that I can then write the story around them, but if you have a concept in mind you are dying to use I am open to adapting them into our setting. Lastly the campaign will be on a weekly basis, every Tuesday at 4pm PST. I am somewhat flexible on the timing so we can discuss further once we get the group together. If you think you might be interested in learning more feel free to message me here or add me on discord #kingofchaos7795

Hallo! I'm currently looking for a late night game (CST) as I work closing shifts at my job. I have over 10 years of experience in D&D, and looking to continue playing (feeding my addiction) 5e! I also have a year's experience in 5.5e.

hi, hello! I'm looking to play in a consistent DnD compaign with fun, chill people. I've DM'd for the past 3-4 years and would like to be a PC for once! I enjoy combat, roleplay, and interesting lore & story progression. If you're a DM that loves some good/immersive mood and combat music, I think we'll get along well :)

Hi! Me (22F) and my friend (22M) are looking to find a new campaign. We're beginners and have only played a couple of sessions, so we're open to playing with new or more experienced players. We're both in the UK (GMT+1) and are available on weekends. We can start with a one shot to introduce characters and such and if it goes well hopefully continue on to a long campaign :) Open to homebrew or official settings! Can communicate over Discord (username is educationalsyrup) If you're interested, DM me with a bit about yourself :D
