For Dungeon Masters looking to craft adventures in this legendary land, D&D Beyond helps you build and manage your campaigns with a trove of DM tools:
Maps
Explore Faerûn with Maps, D&D’s official Virtual Tabletop (VTT). Maps syncs to your D&D Beyond library, so you can easily import maps and populate them with tokens to run your encounters. It also allows you to upload your own maps (like the map of Faerûn above) so you can run sessions in any setting you choose.
When it’s time to roll Initiative, Maps helps you run combat with drawing, measurement, ping, and fog of war features!
You can explore Maps’ offering with a free trial today!
Encounters
When traversing the wild areas of Faerûn, your party may encounter a variety of dangerous foes—always be prepared with Encounters! This tool helps you create encounters by filtering monsters based on terrain, monster type, Challenge Rating, and more.
Once you have your monsters picked out, you can run the encounter in the Initiative tracker to automatically roll from the monster’s stat blocks, keep track of Hit Points, and more!
Like all the tools on D&D Beyond, this syncs to your digital library, so any monsters from your purchased content will be useable in your encounters. But if you’re just beginning, no worries! The monsters from the Basic Rules have been included to help get you started. Give Encounters a try today!
Compendium
Need to remember a specific piece of Forgotten Realms lore? You can search all of your D&D Beyond digital library from one central location. This way, if you need to look for information about a forgotten city, a powerful artifact, or even a specific creature, you can quickly find it with a simple search.
