D&D Beyond
D&D Beyond is the official home for Dungeons & Dragons rules and tools. At the table, it manages character creation and live character sheets, digital dice, quick rules look-up, and encounter tracking. It keeps stats, spells, and conditions in one place so everyone can act more swiftly.
As a player, you only need a free account and a web browser. No installation is required. It works on a laptop, tablet, or phone, with an optional mobile app. Your Game Master invites you to a campaign via a link, and you can create or attach your character. If the Game Master enables content sharing, you can view shared books and options in your account.
Professional Game Masters often pair D&D Beyond with voice on Discord or video chat, and a virtual tabletop for maps and tokens. D&D Beyond carries the rules and your sheet, while the other tool displays the battlefield. To compare options that work well together, see online play platforms.
How to use D&D Beyond
Create a free D&D Beyond account. Use a modern browser on a computer or tablet; a phone will work but may feel cramped. Your Game Master will send a campaign invite link. Click it, join the campaign, then create a character or assign one you have already made. Before the game starts, log in, open your character sheet, and try a test roll with the digital dice. Keep the sheet open during play. Voice or video will take place on Discord, Zoom, or a similar platform, using the link your Game Master provides.
