I have seen the planned features for DDB. I see a VTT is labeled as "Planned" dating back two years. The updates in the thread (https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115008597088-Virtual-Tabletop-Gameboard) are all players say "When? When? When?". Is there an official answer on when this might happen? Is there a git repository or some place I might go to see such a schedule? I am moving to Germany soon and will need to go the VTT route to play with friends. I am exploring option and see roll20 and the others, but I have content here that would rather not re-purchase elsewhere. Thanks.
DDB doesn't do timelines or deadlines because they just lead to disappointment. Due to the fact they have to be reactive to wotc releases, such as UA and new books, their work flow and priorities can change on a dime
That makes some sense. Is there anything that says they are working on it? Something that says it's started? Some sort of "coming soon"? The lack of news and VTT is itself a bit of a disappointment given it was "planned" two years ago. I gave up on Rothfuss' last book for the same reason :)
The roadmap only says what they are currently working on and what they are working on next, and doesn't give any specific timelines. But it is the closest thing to it.

They have a public trello board here; https://trello.com/b/vIKxuEs8/dd-beyond-feature-roadmap
But the delineations are intentionally vague. A virtual game board/space is currently well off in the distance, as it's a big undertaking.
Also, they appear to be working on the building blocks for a VTT first; dice rolling, digital DM screen, synchronous character sheets etc.

Thank you for the link.
