Hi, am not finding a DnD Beyond Virtual Table Top(VTT). Perhaps I am missing something here?
Seems like an integrated VTT is perfect for a great platform such as DnD Beyond. Realize that it integrates with other VTTs, like Roll20, etc., but also scritching head trying to figure out why DnD Beyond does not have their OWN VTT.
If this question has been beaten to death, my apologies, this is my first foray into the forums. Could not resist as this question has been nagging at brain for a couple weeks now as I revel in all of the other cool features DnD Beyond offers.
Could even make it a benefit of the subscription based membership!
Hi, am not finding a DnD Beyond Virtual Table Top(VTT). Perhaps I am missing something here?
A lot of people have asked for this. It's been on the cards for a while but I honestly wouldn't expect this anytime soon; the DnDBeyond team is small and a lot of work goes into creating 'stuff' in line with the release of new books that come out every month or so, whilst also trying to navigate different bugs/non-working features in the current website and improving their own tools (e.g. Encounters)
I'm not saying the suggestion isn't awesome (it is!), but I wouldn't get your hopes up for a release of a DnDBeyond VTT anytime soon.
In the (hopefully) short term, your best option may be to use another VTT. There is an extension called 'Beyond 20' you may be interested in:
(Extract from Chrome Web Store)
'Beyond20 integrates the D&D Beyond Character Sheet seamlessly into Roll20, Foundry VTT, Astral Tabletop and Discord. It can also provide a dice roller for rolling all your skills and attacks directly from the D&D Beyond character sheets or monster stat blocks. A roll button will be automatically added to D&D Beyond’s character sheet sidebars (abilities, skill checks, saving throws, weapon attacks, spells, class features, and more) that lets you either roll the dice directly into the Virtual TableTop chat, or display the spell card, feature or equipment item for others to see.'
Alternatively there are other VTT's like Owlbear Rodeo. It's down to preference.
Have the Physical Books? Confused as to why you're not allowed to redeem them for free on D&D Beyond? Questions answered here at the Hardcover Books, D&D Beyond and You FAQ
Looking to add mouse-over triggered tooltips to such things like magic items, monsters or combat actions? Then dash over to the How to Add Tooltips thread.
I know this is a year later but I got here from Google and just wanted to give a shoutout to AboveVTT which ties directly in to your dnd beyond character sheet and supports so many great things. I highly suggest checking it out!
There is a fan-created VTT tied directly to DDB through their APIs, AboveVTT. I'm not involved with development, only a user. It's not a fully fleshed out system like the big guys, but it's free, and works pretty good. Do a Google search for AboveVTT for the relevant browser extension - Firefox or Chrome - and activate it. You run it through the browser, from the DDB website. They have an active Discord server to discuss all aspects of it.
I hope that is how it works. Each resource book comes with relevant resources for the Virtual Tabletop and premade modules for adventures. Then DM's can pull from those resources to create their own custom maps. EXAMPLE: Swamp location from Chapter 6 Tyranny of Dragons, then pick the Troll Scull manor from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Put it on a dryish patch. Make any modifications to the building and location including traps from the DMG before populating with creatures from the Monster Manual and Tyranny of Dragons Chapter 6. I imagine the Encounter tracker (currently in Beta) will tie directly into the VTT populating process.
This is what I imagine the VTT will be like. As far as I can tell the WIZARDS are keeping exact details secret and warded.
Thank you! I was referring to the Foundary VTT. In short, I was wondering if, when connected, I can use the DND Beyond app on my phone to roll dice and cast spells.

There is no official integration between D&D Beyond and Foundry VTT ( and I doubt there will ever be any ), search using google to find the hacks some people have come up with.

I bet that a VTT built into DnDBeyond will most likely come and be a apart of OneDnD (6e).
This will be Cao's baby...
time will tell if it will incorporate anything older than OneDnD
Thanks for the link though.. interesting

Will the adventures purchased through dnd beyond be integrated within the vtt?
I hope that is how it works. Each resource book comes with relevant resources for the Virtual Tabletop and premade modules for adventures. Then DM's can pull from those resources to create their own custom maps. EXAMPLE: Swamp location from Chapter 6 Tyranny of Dragons, then pick the Troll Scull manor from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

Honor, Integrity, Valor.
Will the app work with forge?
If you mean hero forge, there hasn’t been announcement one way or another. If you mean some other kind of forge, same answer.
They put out a teaser video for it earlier this year (if I recall the date correctly), but it is still a couple years from a playable VTT.
Playing D&D since 1982
Have played every version of the game since Basic (Red Box Set), except that abomination sometimes called 4e.
Here is info from earlier this year on the VTT project. Beta was expected later in 2023 with a full launch sometime in 2024 iirc.
