Overview

D&D Beyond is the official digital toolset for , 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.

Dungeon of the Mad Maids

Paid game Paid game
Adult Adult
Female GM with 5+ years experience looking for 3-5 creative (and potentially chaotic) players to take on this bizarre comedic roleplay twist on Dungeon of the Mad Mage. This will be a more roleplay focused version of the dungeon crawl where you and your group of "professionals" will attempt to clean up the dungeon to get it ready to annihilate potential adventurers. It's silly, chill, and has a big focus on rule of cool!  You read that right. The famed mega dungeon has fallen into a state of disrepair. Who knows what the owner is doing, but one of his lackeys has had enough. This dungeon is a disgrace and any monster within it should be ashamed of themselves. Thankfully, this minion had the sense to call you and your team of “world-renowned” cleaners to sort this **** out. Rumour has it that adventurers are coming from all over the world to conquer the dungeon and its treasures, and that won’t do, that won’t do at all! At this rate, they’ll mop up (pun intended) all 23 floors in a matter of regularly scheduled hours. So, it’s up to you to turn this dungeon around. Make sure the monsters are up to scratch, whether that means negotiating, killing or replacing them is up to you. Check the traps, place them, re-arm them, try not to die to them. Clear out the trash and by that I mean any idiot that has wandered in and somehow hasn't ended up dead yet. Plus if you do a good job, I’m sure the boss won’t realise if a few pieces of loot go missing… ⏰ Sundays 7:30pm-10:30pm GMT   💸This is a paid game - $20/session 🎲 Level 5-20 👹 Any species (including monster species) & any official class 🧹 A fun change of pace to the traditional dungeon crawl 🧼 2024 rules (open to exceptions!) 🤩 Free Session 0 😂 Puns, innuendos, jokes and silly voices to be expected.   It was meant to be beautiful! Impassable! The ultimate dungeon that no adventurer could ever conquer. Now look at it. We’ve got grick infestations, troglodyte wars, guilds from the city acting like they own the place, and don’t even get me started on the mind flayers. Having a dungeon used to mean something you know. Maybe you can do something about that. Message me for more details or check out the game listing here!

Bi-weekly one-shots in Sydney, Australia

Newbie friendly Newbie friendly
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 7 people per game. Information about the specific module will be shared closer to the start date. Each module will run on a 3 week cycle, meaning I will run that particular module for 3 consecutive sessions before prepping a new one.  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!

Homebrew Homebrew
Female DM with 5+ years experience looking for 2-3 more players who love to roleplay, delve deep into lore and backstories, and get a kick out of scheming, plotting and exploiting a homebrew open world in a long term weekly DND campaign. In a world where corporations vie over powerful resources, the gods have fallen silent and every choice has consequences - the party finds themselves in Fracture, a lawless, violent land, that will make or break them. A violent airship crash has left them out of work and out of pocket, thankfully, there are plenty of opportunities here to make a few gold as long as you can keep from getting shot long enough. While we have already begun the adventure, it is not too late to join! We have a barbarian, an artificer and a bard/lock, but we're happy for any class to join the crew. $20/session  6:30pm - 9:30pm AEST (8:30am BST) 2024 rules with a few homebrew ones thrown in the mix, open to exceptions and edits. Starting at level 3 Any class or species (except Spelljammer), open to homebrew requests. All backstories will be integrated into the world and story, with each character getting a chance to explore them. So, if magical storms, corrupt corporations, and crystal super weapons sounds like your kind of thing - message me if you want to know more or check out the game listing here.

I am friendly, helpful, easily approachable and welcoming to all as long as you treat everyone with respect. I have always wanted to play more D&D but had found it a struggle to find a group. I can either be a player or give DMing a shot. I love making notes on what is happening during the campaign so I can catch people up on if they miss a session. Warning: If someone can't make a session and doesn't say anything until 10-15 minutes before the next session it's a pet peev so please don't do this unless it's an emergency and can't stop what's going on. I am 23 almost 24 and have played one 5e game and attempted to dm one 5e game both being (2015 version). I am from the UK timezone.

I've never played dnd before and im looking to join a group that can ease me in to the game while also having fun, I know the basics (kinda) and it seems like a really fun thing to do. Also I am 14 and every time I try to join a group it's 18+/20+ and it seems like there isn't any that I can join. If anyone has a group that i can join or is making one that's beginner friendly please respond to this post or dm me on discord. My discord is: s0ul_link24

I'm Alex! Teacher from Germany in my 30s, love to read and design campaigns, usually DMing one or two games a week myself, big gamer and movie enjoyer as well. I'm mostly a harmony seeking type, but I've RPed enough that I can handle some heat as well. You likely won't find me strategizing things out mid combat, I'll try to stay in character because I love the immersion, and I usually try to keep things tonally consistent. Looking forward to play with y'all!
