D&D Beyond

Overview

D&D Beyond is the official digital toolset for
Dungeons & Dragons https://groupfinder.eu/library/dungeons-dragons-55e-2024
, originally launched in 2017 and acquired by Wizards of the Coast in 2022. It serves as the primary ecosystem for the 5th Edition ruleset and the updated 2024 "5.5e" core rules. In 2026, the platform is undergoing a massive "Game Platform" rebuild, moving away from its original hard-coded architecture to a data-driven engine. This allows the platform to support more complex customization and the new "Season" based content release model introduced this year. Description D&D Beyond is the definitive "companion app" for D&D. It combines a high-speed character builder, a digital library of all official sourcebooks, and a native 2D virtual tabletop called Maps. The platform is designed to be the easiest way to play the game, handling all calculations, spell slots, and inventory management automatically. With the 2026 "Season of Horror" and "Season of Magic" updates, it has become a living platform that delivers monthly content drops and themed community events directly to player character sheets. System Overview & Key Features
The 2026 Game Engine Rebuild Wizards of the Coast is currently rebuilding the backend of D&D Beyond from the ground up. This move allows the site to finally support highly requested features like custom classes, complex homebrew non-magical equipment, and more responsive rules validation that doesn't rely on legacy code from 2017.
The Maps VTT The integrated 2D virtual tabletop is now free for all users to host games as of late 2025. It features "Quickplay Maps" for all official adventures, allowing GMs to launch a session with pre-placed tokens and fog of war. New "Reveals" functionality lets GMs share high-resolution gallery art and monster lore directly to players' screens during play.
New "Quickbuilder" Flow To improve onboarding, the 2026 character builder features an "art-forward" Quickbuilder mode. It guides players through the most impactful decisions—like subclass and background—while using optimized defaults for smaller details, allowing a new hero to be ready for play in under five minutes.
Content Sharing (Master Tier) The Master Tier subscription remains the most popular for groups. It allows a single user to share their entire digital library—including the new 2026 Ravenloft: The Horror Within and Arcana Unleashed books—with up to 12 players across five different campaigns.
Legacy vs Core Toggles Following community feedback, the platform now features robust toggles to enable or disable "Legacy" (2014) content. This ensures that groups can choose to stick strictly to the 2024 rules or mix in older subclasses and spells without the interface becoming cluttered or confusing.
Digital/Physical Integration Most new 2026 book releases now feature a "Physical + Digital" bundle. When you buy a hardcover from the official store, you receive an instant unlock code for D&D Beyond, ensuring your character builder and digital library are updated before the physical book even arrives in the mail.

The City of Intrica

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
The city of Intrica lies between Poland and Germany; it was founded over 500 years ago and stands tall today. However, it has not stopped suffering its trials and tribulations. Its current one is a black hole blotting out the sun over the city. The black hole, however, is not just a black hole; it is a pocket dimension known as "The Great Selection", a Battle Royale created by an adversary of the city known as "The Silent". Within this grand Battle Royale, the winner would exit with all the powers of the other participants, meaning that if any of the very malicious beings inside of it were to win, it would spell ruin for not just Intrica, but maybe even the entirety of Europe. It is up to the agents of the Arcane Enforcement & Global Intelligence Service, aka A.E.G.I.S., to break into this battle royale and turn the odds in favor of the participants who are friendly to this world. After all, you can move a mountain if you do it bit by bit.

"Year 0" Prequel One-Shots

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Hello hello! I am Matthew. I am a new DM building a homebrew world, and I want your help filling in its history. Before my main campaign begins, I am running a series of one-shots set in "Year 0". This is when an apocalyptic cataclysm nearly ends the world. The future campaign will be set centuries afterward. When? I run my business from home and have a family, so M-F during the day works best. These one-shots will take place Tuesday through Thursday, between 9:00am and 2:00pm Central time (chicago area). If you work from home, work nights, or live in a time zone where this is your evening, this table is for you! What is it? You will play low- to mid-level heroes surviving the chaos of a larger conflict. You might be pulling off a desperate heist for a magical artifact, escorting refugees to safety, or holding the line against impossible odds. All of this happens under the shadow of the First King, whose mysterious sacrifice during this era saved the realm but cursed his bloodline forever. Legacy? Yup If you survive, I have a "Fortune & Fate" roll planned to help determine your character's epilogue. Though you will have plenty of creative control over their outcomes. Survive or not - your characters will become the myths, ancestors, and founders in the larger campaign!

Ashvane

⚔️ ASHVANE — A WORLD WAITING TO BE WRITTEN > *“The world is already moving. The question is whether you move with it… or change its course.”* Hey! We’re looking for players to join **Ashvane**, a homebrew fantasy world built around **politics, war, factions, exploration, and player-driven storytelling.** Ashvane is a dark and gritty world inspired by the likes of **Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings**, but with its own setting, history, factions, cities, conflicts, and secrets. 🌍 A WORLD YOU HELP BUILD Ashvane has a living world with established factions, cities, political tensions, wars, and ongoing conflicts—but not everything is written in stone. Some parts of the world are intentionally left open. **Why? Because your character gets to help fill them in.** Your backstory isn't just something the DM reads and forgets. Your character's homeland, connections, ambitions, enemies, allies, and history can become part of the world itself. The story isn't simply something that happens **to** your character. **You help decide what happens next.** ⚔️ YOUR ACTIONS MATTER Ashvane is designed around player agency. There isn't necessarily a predetermined path you're expected to follow. You can make alliances, pick sides, create enemies, pursue your own ambitions, get involved in faction politics, ignore the main conflict entirely or accidentally start one of your own. The world will react to what you do. **Your choices have consequences.** 🛠️ HOMEBREW & PROGRESSION The campaign also features several custom systems designed to make your character feel like more than just their class: * 🧙 **Homebrew Items** * 👹 **Custom Monsters & Creatures** * ⚒️ **A Full Homebrew Job System** * 📈 **Job progression and training** * 🎭 **Character-focused storytelling** * 🌎 **A world shaped by player decisions** The **Job System** allows characters to develop skills outside of their normal class abilities. Through training and experience, your character can become better at different professions and develop a more diverse skillset over the course of the campaign. Want to become a better blacksmith? Train for it. Want to learn another profession? Work toward it. Your character can grow in ways that aren't limited to simply gaining levels. 🌑 LOOKING FOR... If you enjoy **dark, grimy fantasy**, political intrigue, exploration, character-driven stories, and campaigns where the DM doesn't hold your hand through a predetermined plot... **You'll fit right in.** Whether you’re a veteran player or completely new to D&D, **beginners are welcome.** Come with a character, a backstory, and a reason to enter Ashvane. We'll build the rest of the world together. Interested? **Send me a message!**

The table is openly welcoming to LGBTQ+ players.
Mitspieler für Langzeitkampagne am Tisch gesucht  Was: Odyssey of the Dragonlords mit Homebrew Wann: 2-4x im Monat, wie alle Lust haben Wo: Landkreis Bayreuth, bei uns Zuhause Wie viele: 4-6 Spieler // 3-5 werden gesucht (Mein Mann spielt bereits geplant mit) Wer: Alle die Lust haben, Einsteiger sind auch sehr willkommen! Wir sind um die 30, am Besten bist du auch im Alter von 25-40 Jahre Willkommen in Thylea 🐲  Ein Land, in dem seit fast 500 Jahren die Titanen und Götter aufgrund eines Eides in Frieden leben.  Doch dieser Eid geht zu Ende und das Erwachen der uralten Titanen steht bevor.  Es wurden Helden prophezeit, um das Land und die Sterblichen zu retten.  Die Reise führt durch antike Städte, raue Wildnis und die stürmischen Meere.  Eure Entscheidungen haben direkten Einfluss auf das Land, die Welt und die Geschichte.  Jeder von euch ist eng mit der Geschichte verwoben und eure Taten entscheiden über die Zukunft Thyleas 🐉 Wir spielen die Kampagne Odyssey of the Dragonlords! Eine epische Kampagne im griechisch-mythologischen Setting von Level 1 bis 20.  Wir werden also hoffentlich einige Jahre gemeinsam spielen.  TTRPGs sind unser größtes Hobby und wir suchen Mitspieler mit hoffentlich der selben Leidenschaft und Freude an diesem tollen Hobby!  Wir würden gerne bei uns Zuhause spielen, dort leben noch ein großer Hund, zwei Katzen und Hühner. Du solltest also keine Allergien haben und halbwegs tierlieb sein.  Außerdem sollte dir Rassismus, Sexismus und rechtes Gedankengut zuwider und die Bezeichnung links-grün versifft eher ein Kompliment sein.  Wir erhoffen uns hier wirklich eine Freundesgruppe zu bilden, nicht einfach nur ein bisschen gemeinsames würfeln mit Fremden.  Um zu sehen ob alles passt würden wir dich auch gerne vorab Kennenlernen wollen 😊 Ich würde mich über eine Nachricht von dir freuen, gerne auch über Discord (nunvielleicht).

Hihi!! I'm a 21yo trans guy (he/him) who's getting back into DND after a couple of years of not playing. I'm used to being the DM but now I'm looking to step into the shoes of a player! I love roleplay-heavy campaigns, but combat is still a vital part of the game to me. I especially enjoy long campaigns with detailed world-building where the player characters feel like a part of the world and story. I like dark themes and corrupt governments a lot, so if your game has both, I am SAT! But I'm also down for a more lighthearted experience as long as the dm can still put my character through all sorts of trials and tribulations (emotionally or physically). Speaking of characters, I have a lot of old concepts lying around that I'd love to use, so no matter what kind of story you're telling, I'm sure I can find one that'll fit your world. Also down to craft a completely new character ofc! I'm also down to play homebrew systems, and I'm intrigued by Vampire: The Masquerade since I'm a sucker (lol) for vampires! The only thing I am not into is pre-made stories (Curse of Strahd, etc.), but the story/world can definitely be inspired by one or many. I'm familiar with dnd beyond, but other VTTs are still a mystery to me, although I am a fast learner when it comes to these things. I'm free to play almost whenever, but I don't like staying up too late, so games between 1am-10am (EET/EEST) are a no for me. Any other time I'm free on most days. Message me here if I sound like the right choice for your campaign!!

Delta Green
That's Redacted is a delta green actual play series. Delta Green is a rpg that focuses on what lovecraftian horrors would be doing in the modern time and how people would respond to them.The show can get quite heavy sometimes as its the nature of the game, as its about the consequences of being on the first on scene to stopping these horrors. The group of players is a collection of doctors, graduate students and game designers. We've been playing together for over 10 years and have lots of experience playing TTRPGs.

Tabletop Roleplaying Games

Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG

TTRPG
English
Rules-medium
Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG is a d20-based OSR fantasy game designed by Taron "Indestructoboy" Pounds - an ENnie Award-winning designer previously known for third-party D&D 5e class content - and published through his own studio, Land of the Blind. It funded its development on Kickstarter in 2023, with a print run funded via Gamefound in 2024, and fans have taken to calling it "the Pathfinder of the OSR": an attempt to bring modern character-build depth to old-school-inspired dungeon crawling without losing the rulings-over-rules, low-prep philosophy that defines games like Knave, Cairn, and Into the Odd, several of which are explicitly credited as influences. Description Playing Vagabond means playing pulp-flavored fantasy adventurers - the kind of setting where a Goblin Gunslinger might delve a mummy's tomb alongside a Dwarf Witch hunting Excalibur - built specifically to keep GM prep and mental overhead low while still giving players a genuinely deep character-building toolkit. It's explicitly compatible with B/X-derived monsters, classic TSR modules, and Old School Essentials adventures, so existing OSR content drops in with little to no conversion. All rolls are player-facing, meaning players roll rather than the GM rolling against them, and creature stat blocks include a built-in "Action Gambit" describing exactly what a monster does in combat, aiming to strip improvised tactical decisions away from the GM entirely.

Hey everyone! I run a D&D community called Session Zero. We’ve had incredible growth over the last few days with so many amazing new faces joining us, and we are looking to expand our tables! Our main goal is simple: create a relaxed, welcoming space where people from all over can get together and just enjoy playing D&D. What to expect Players Welcome: We have campaigns spinning up all the time. We have games spanning multiple timezones, so if you want to play, there is a seat waiting for you! No more scrolling through Forums for a table! We don't charge anything. Everything is free. Always. Calling DMs: Our demand for games is growing more and more. You won't have an issue finding players to fill them seats! Want to run a game? Then you're more than welcome to host here! With everything in house, no more hunting for players. We make you dedicated campaign channels, DMs sharing tons of resources they've built up and we can help anyway we can! While we are thrilled with our active player base, we are on the hunt for EU based DMs to help run some games. We have a few EU campaigns starting up, but getting more rolling is our top priority! (And of course, we are still welcoming DMs from outside the EU as well!) DM Perks: I have a large DnDBeyond book selection I share with DMs running games in here. Fully free! The Vibe: Whether you're a longstanding DM looking to find a new group of players to take on a magical adventure, or perhaps wanting to get into the DM chair for the first time but need some support, you will be more than welcome. Our player base is a mix from never playing a game before to years of experience. If you're a player who's only just picking up your first quest or have been on many adventures, come grab a stool in our laid-back 18+ community. It's not just 5e! We're happy to host pretty much any VTTRPG! Patherfinder, Daggerheart, 5E, 5.5 etc!
