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!

Looks like they started at about 5 central US time and have been playing for an hour.

Edit: so maybe in 20 to 30 minutes. The preview begins

surprise is disadvantage to the surprised side.

obviously, initiative works in the vtt

a sickness spell was visible as a spell flying thru the air

It looks cool but I don't see this as the end of D&D as we know it as has been prophesied.

The vibe shift when everyone starts just looking at their laptops and struggling with managing the VTT didn't make me want to use it at my table. Maybe for online play though? Live play, it seems like it just adds more complexity than you need.

There's definitely some "oh, cool!" moments but I agree with you.

saves are done automatically for spells and breath weapons, and it said if they saved or not.....

Yep. there are moments. Talespire is pretty amazing but never made much traction so I'm not sure why this is. Too much pre, too much of a distraction and other reasons. It may play better for an online session, but definitly not interested in this for in person games.
