Project Sigil Now You Can Watch WotC's 3D VTT 'Project Sigil' In Action!

You can now watch the unveiling and demo of the upcoming 'Project Sigil' -- WotC's new 3D virtual tabletop -- as it was used during the official Dungeons & Dragons live event at Gen Con.

The event featured Aabria Iyengar as the Dungeon Master, Anjali Bhimani as Miri Yannen, Samantha Bèart as Karlach, Brennan Lee Mulligan as Dorbin Kragstone, and Neil Newbon as Astarion.

This is the first time the public has gotten a look at the software outside of small demos at previous conventions. The VTT demo is in the second half of the show.

UPDATE: THE VTT IS USED FROM 1:16 IN THE VIDEO!

It looks quite nice on the screen. (I'm judging it if I was playing online, no comment on playing this way in person)

 

[Zaukrie]

the rules seem integrated......grapple checks success or fail...

Yes there is some rules adjudication built in. But right now I still have more questions then answers.

sure, we can't see much.....

you can see the barbarian go into rage.

Pretty sure movement is NOT restricted in combat, or even "you can only do this many things" as the DM is being generous right now....which works for me. I don't want that much "control".

 

[Zaukrie]

You can see smoke or something moving on the map in the back. And liquid running under the grates. And fire moving on torches and stuff. Don't see a grid, assume you can turn that on/off?

Is that the gold dragon mini you get from preordering the D&D Beyond bundle?

…and the kobolds, also on the PHB cover.

I would guess so, yes.

What I learned:

It looks great.
Rules are definitely in there (no idea how much) and enforced (not sure how I feel about full automation, I fudge a lot)
Definitely see spells and breath weapons and attacks happen.
The maps have movement (fog, water, fire) in them.

Not sure we learned much that we didn't know/suspect at this point.
