    D&D General Monster ENCyclopedia: Will-o'-wisp

    Thanks for the positive feedback. The remaining letters (X, Y and Z) all have partly finished articles, but I don't have a timeline for finishing them. I'm currently running a Spelljammer campaign, and my D&D writing and playing tend to use the same pool of time in my life, so new articles...

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    There's a picture of Sardior on the The Ruby Palace card of the Blood Wars card game. Does that count?

    D&D (2024) Guess the next 3rd party D&D Beyond book.

    It seems that the answer was Roll & Play Press's One-Shot Wonders.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I would argue that D&D Beyond, which is very much a subscription model combined with individual purchases is a success. The fact that I'm paying the subscription fee to be able to share those purchases with my players is an innovative way to lock me into a subscription model without me feeling...

    D&D 5E Please help me understand Dnd Beyond "Maps"

    To the best of my knowledge there isn't currently a way to get Maps to add a grid to a map that doesn't already have one. The Red Dragon Lair map comes with a grid, but it consists of thin grey lines that vanish when the map is shrunk to the size shown in that first post. I didn't add a grid...

    Has Wizards of the Coast Given Up on Sigil?

    Maps is still somewhat bare bones, relative to other VTTs. However, they have added a lot of additional functionality over the last year, and as a regular user I feel very optimistic about how they've done that. Far too many pieces of software that I've enjoyed using have become less fun to use...

    D&D 5E Please help me understand Dnd Beyond "Maps"

    Almost all of the maps I've uploaded already had a grid, so I just adjusted the Maps grid to match that. On the rare occasions that I've used a map without a grid, I just eyeballed it to get roughly the right scale. I usually have the whole map image open in another window so that I can judge...

    Maps really is easy to use though. But that does assume that you are already using D&D Beyond for a campaign and characters. I just tested setting up a map for an existing campaign and characters using one of the default basic maps and it took under 20 clicks to have the whole thing up and running.

    Once you've gotten that far, you've done 1-3 on your list. I'd encourage you to experiment with the other features, in particular you can click on the d6 on the bottom right to see a log of all the die rolls you've made or your players have made on their character sheets, as well as clicking on...

    Finally, click on Monsters in the Token Browser and choose the critter you want to add. Like so:

    Next click on Players and you should see tokens for all the players in your campaign. Click on the + next to each of the players involved in the encounter, and those token will appear on the map. You will need to move them to an appropriate starting point, and for characters with surnames, I...
