The public beta for digital dice launched yesterday on D&D Beyond, and thousands of fans have already rolled millions of times to see that first "20" land on their screens.
The D&D Beyond team has taken the task seriously of helping people across the world play games and connect with one another during the unprecedented times of this pandemic. Knowing that we can bring even the smallest amount of joy in the midst our global situation provides a real sense of purpose, and we appreciate the reports of happiness brought about by these pixels bouncing across your character sheets more than you know.
Starting today, you will be able to unlock new dice sets for your collection, including the colorful 'Pigment Pack' and a fully-animated 'Mythic Set.' You can check out both in the Marketplace. There will be plenty more where they came from in the days ahead.
We are also acutely aware of recent events that call into stark focus the systemic racial injustice that continues to exist in the world. We understand that messaging from companies often lands hollow without action, and we do not wish to remain silent in the face of this. For the next week (through June 9th), D&D Beyond will donate 50% of all proceeds from digital dice sets to the Black Lives Matter movement.
We stand in solidarity with the Black community against racism, discrimination, and senseless acts of violence.
There wasn't it would seem. I feel like this whole thing needs to end. There are going to be a variety of opinions which is okay, but this just creating a divide in this community (DnD Beyond). Now when we see people post on forums what is the last thing we will be tempted into thinking of when we see their profile name? This divisive topic and potential heated exchanges.
I wish the very same as you...
Amen...
Sorry. I had learned that, but apparently not true in most cases. I'll remove that comment.
I'm sorry... Where is the racism????
EXACTLY!!!!
Lol that’s very political of you
If you don’t want to create a divide maybe donate to charities that affect us all cancer, autism etc.
The police being able to kill citizens without accountability does affect us all.
You know the purpose of donating money is so that it benefits other people more than you, right? (Also, autism isn't really a thing that can be treated medically.)
This does effect you, as well. 12% of Americans are black. Raising awareness for racism will effect everyone.
What do you mean?
Let's use an analogy in the style of Dungeons and Dragons, and see if it makes any more or less sense to the people posting here on this thread.
If you as a human citizen would be happy to receive the same treatment that a non-human citizen does in your society, please take their place right now... If you don't, that says very plainly, that you know what's happening, and that you know you don't want it for yourself. Therefore why would you be so willing to act in such a manner or allow others to act in that way?
