We’ve just leveled up in a big way.
Dungeons & Dragons and D&D Beyond have always felt like a part of the same family. That’s why we’re excited to announce that D&D Beyond is formally joining Wizards of the Coast, bringing together two teams that eat, breathe, and sweat for this game and continue to strive to make D&D easy to run, exciting, and accessible to all.
You (and by you, we mean the 10 million users that have been on this adventure with us since 2017!) are probably wondering what kind of change might happen as a result of these two teams coming together, so let’s make this clear: Wizards of the Coast has no plans to stop supporting D&D Beyond. Ever. The purchases you’ve made, the characters you’ve created, and the campaigns you’ve run aren’t going anywhere.
You’ve probably got a million questions about what comes next. What we can say for sure is that we’re excited for what the future holds as we dig in with our new partners. We wish you could see the big stupid grins we’ve all been walking around with. This is truly an incredible time for all of us, and it really feels like there’s no limit to what we can accomplish for our players. Remember, the key factor that makes this partnership perfect is that these teams want one thing: to make your experience playing the World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game even better.
If you’ve been on this journey with us for a while, we’re so glad you’re here. If you’re brand new and clicked on the site today to figure out what the big news was all about, welcome! Remember to register for a free account! (Sorry, couldn’t help ourselves.) We’ll have more to share with you throughout the year, so tune in to the Dev Update, which airs on Twitch on Thursdays at 10 a.m. PT, and check out new content right here on dndbeyond.com.

thanks
yeah I would like this too.
so...no one asked yet... are our subscription fees changing?
I was wondering the same thing. I'm hoping not. I think there will be an uproar if they go up and if the prices of the books go up.
This is awesome!
Would our dndbeyond accounts still remain free to use?
Nope, we'll still be around (for any of us that want to stay on, of course) – we'll just be working with Wizards of the Coast going forward, instead of Fandom.
Yes, it's still free to create an account. DDB has not announced any plans to change that.
Anyone know if this means that our real world copies of the books will be able to transfer into dndbeyond?
highly unlikely.
Will we be able to add our physical copies to the app
If you are joining the wizards of the coast family will that do anything about physical book purchases being added to d&d beyond
Now that you're part of WOTC, does that mean that things like the Planeshift books and UAs will be open for use on DnD Beyond?
This.
My understanding was that UA change to fast for beyond to keep up with.
Hoping for a monthly subscription that gives access to new books......That would be MINT
I am curious about this as well. It should be easy going forward. They just need a one time use code in each book. I know it may be had to prove you have a written copy. But maybe utilizing game stores to help with this process. Bring your books to the store, get a special stamp in each book that gets a unique code. This way you can't bring the book back to get a second code for your friend.
it was the cost to prorgram it in is the reason why Fandom decided to stop doing it. They didnt see the cost benefit of putting it in when 90% of it didnt become standard.
This may have been asked for a million times already but if not, call me shocked. Can we get a bookmark feature so that when we are readying the material we know where we stopped; at the page level at least. TY DnDBeyond, AboveVTT and Discord are freakin awesome!!!
Are we going to be able add our hard copies of books to DnDBeyond?
yeah, that'd be nice.
watch em not do it.
