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.
Well done. Good to see your support to such an important cause.
no you are only able to help people you cannot actively get around helping human beings.
either dont buy them or donate to people that are being attacked by DT
My city is still burning. I'd feel better donating money that will go to help the victims whose businesses, property, and lives have been destroyed by this wanton destruction. I'm all about donating to worthy causes...however the only cause worth my money right now is helping my neighbors rebuild. My donation is needed here more, thanks anyway.
Yes half. Can't you just be happy they are doing anything at all? They didn't have to do anything. Why can't some people just be thankful.
Why don't you make some dice and donate the profits?
this is about helping people I'm sure that beyond can donate to the people who are having to rebuild as well.
I’d rather buy the dice later and donate to the UNCF now.
Can you donate 25% to the BLM and another 25% to the organizations help those who were wrongfully hurt as a result of the BLM riots? Or is that too spicy?
now that is genius
I'm sad my comment earlier got flagged and deleted, it didn't violate any terms, and I felt like I made a valid point that would pretty much put an end to the fiery conversation. Alas, this is a controversial issue that will enflame all kinds of passions. But that's the great thing about living in a country that allows freedom of speech. If a private company wants to donate proceeds to a cause they believe in, it is their right. I am glad they didn't remain silent and are at least trying. I encourage my fellow D&d Players to use this energy to come up with safe ways to help your local communities that have been affected.

How do you roll an attack with advantage or disadvantage?
wrong forum man don't post here
it is crazy
Truth.
I think they're still developing that feature. But it'll come eventually.
I can guarantee that more people than just Arcane_Firaga is reporting offensive comments. Some of the previous posts were very offensive.
I am going to repost the same reminder again for everyone. This is not the place to have back and forth discussions. You are each more than welcome to take conversations to PMs.
Apologies. Doing so now.
I would have liked a cause that is less politically aligned as there are alot of community services adequat for the context. Something more neutral as there is enough dividing.
I love the dice and the intent !
Wow, this exploded quickly. I give my best wishes to the D&D Beyond team, and agree with the cause that they're supporting.
