D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond's Development Roadmap Is A Complete Rebuild Of Platform

D&D Beyond has announced its roadmap for the future, including features in active development and those planned for later down the line. These include a full rebuild of the game platform's engine, a new character builder, tools for Dungeon Masters, and more.

Over the past few months, we’ve launched a new homepage, a revamped and more sortable content library, image reveals in the Maps VTT to help DMs immerse their players more easily, and several other quality-of-life improvements.

2026 is a year of refocusing and rebuilding D&D Beyond to make it easier to play D&D your way. Three major initiatives will drive most of our work:

• Rebuilding D&D Beyond’s Game Platform
• Improving Player Onboarding and Revamping the Character Builder Experience
• Launching a Suite of Dungeon Master Tools

When is/was the AMA? Something else I would really love is a more user-friendly homebrew system, especially for NPCs/monsters. My ideal system would let me pick / enter some traits, actions, etc, and then it would calculate the CR for me and then rejig the numbers accordingly. It would also automatically add any tags. Having to write out things like "it has the [condition]Incapacitated[/condition] condition" is a pain in the butt.

There are now more pages arguing over nothing, than the original content of the thread.

This is the Way.

Much larger number of revisions.

So, it's 5.5 instead of 5.2.7 or 5.4 or 5.6 or anything else that would be more logical because... vibes.
