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.

Hexes & Horrors

LGBTQ+ friendly LGBTQ+ friendly
Horror Horror
The nights seem to never end as occupants of these accursed landscapes suffer in darkness. The people of Tepest pray to the Mother for a merciful Tithe. The survivors of Falknovia brave an unending hoard of undead and eachother. The scientists of Lamordia create their own monsters as they twist and pervert the natural world. The dread domains offer no respite to the those of feeble will. Can you survive? Seeking 5 players for a horror centric campaign spanning the Dread Domains. Players will traverse through several hostile lands, each posing a different and horrific threat. I hope to find players who seek to build characters with emotional depth and add to a collaborative narrative in a meaningful way. Players who will fully immerse themselves in the horror setting, allowing their characters to feel desperate, terrified, and lost but still, for one reason or another, hardy enough to fight on. As a nonbinary Latina, I prioritise making my games a safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community . Full transparency, I see a safe space for these communities as a space filled with staunch advocates and allies. This goes double as this game will ask players for a level of vulnerability that others must respect. If advocating for these groups isn’t a meaningful part of your identity then you need not apply. Additional note, no part of my game will include generative AI. I think to use AI in any capacity for TTRPGs is disrespectful to the writers, designers, and artists who put lifetimes worth of effort, skill, and craftsmanship into creating this community. Not to mention to socio-ecological harm of AI either. I will also not allow AI to be used for character tokens or any other reasons. Everything in my game will be made with human craftsmanship for better or worse This game will start players at level 3 and we’ll play until level 5. We’ll play weekly, three days on and one day off. I try to level up players at least every 10 sessions. As of now I see this game running for a max of  8 months, in which time we’ll either continue with the same characters or try something else. Please submit your application here. Thanks in advance for any who take the time to apply!

Experience I played some AD&D (v2) back in the 1990s, and then went on hiatus for many years. While I played a lot of D&D-inspired video games, I only returned to real D&D last year, and fell back in love with the game. I currently play a weekly 5e game on Roll20, and am looking to add a second nights game to my repertiour. I'm open to online and in-person games, although given the rural area I live in, the latter is not overly likely. My Gameplay Style I like a mixed game style, with a good dose of both roll playing and combat - though I admit to being weak/slow on the roll playing side. I'm most experienced with low-magic characters (I'm a arcane triskster rouge in my current game), but I'd like to try other classes. I'm pretty open to playing any character type, and am happy to change my character around to fit the group. I'm somewhat split in the story-lines that I like to play - I love big epic adventures, but also like small-stakes games (murder mysteries, etc). While I haven't played one since the 1990's, I'd love to play a dungeon crawl centric game (my current game is very much an "exploring an open world" style). I don't know if this is a thing, but a group which plays a series of shorter campaigns instead of one long campaig would be a great fit. Other Stuff Outside of D&D, I read a lot of SciFi and Fantasy novels. I also brew beer and make cheese when I get a bit of free time.

Hi all, I’m Chris, 46, from the UK, and looking to get back into D&D after a few years away from the table. I’ve been playing on and off for a long time and enjoy a good mix of roleplay, combat, storytelling, and the occasional questionable decision that somehow derails the entire session (in a good way, of course). I especially love the roleplay side of the game, getting properly invested in characters, voices I swear are good at the time, and the chaos that inevitably follows. I’m GMT timezone and free most evenings, so fairly flexible for regular sessions. Easy-going, reliable, and happy to fit into most group styles, whether it’s serious long campaign energy or “we adopted a goblin and now everything is on fire” vibes. Mainly just looking for a friendly group to roll some dice with and get stuck into a good adventure again. Happy to answer any questions, thanks for reading, and feel free to DM me if interested!

⚔️ Experienced martial player with ~3 years of D&D 5e under my belt. I gravitate heavily towards martial classes and know the ruleset relatively well. 🎯 I play tactically and always come to the table prepared. When it's my turn, I'm ready to go. 🤝 I'm looking for a proper campaign with a solid group mature, respectful players who are there to have fun and collaborate. Not interested in Play-by-Post. If that sounds like your table, let's talk! 🎲
