What is Maps?

  • Updated

Maps is the official Dungeons & Dragons virtual tabletop (VTT) that is fully integrated with D&D Beyond! Everyone with a D&D Beyond account can explore the time-saving features of this tool—no subscription required.

Maps allows Dungeon Masters to bring their players into a single browser-based play space to share interactive maps and tokens from their D&D Beyond digital library. No matter how you choose to play—in-person with pen and paper or online using D&D Beyond—Maps is another step toward our goal of making it easier to jump into the action of Dungeons & Dragons.

With Maps, you can pull official maps and monster tokens from your D&D Beyond digital library to play with. You can also upload your own maps, drop in player tokens, and apply a fog of war. When you’re ready to play, you can invite players who have a free or upgraded D&D Beyond account into the shared play space. The Game Log will help you keep track of dice rolls on the fly.

Maps is in Beta, so we’ll be adding and refining features as the tool progresses. As of now, the majority of official adventures are implemented in Maps.

Although we are setting aggressive goals for ourselves, we have a way to go before we’re ready to officially launch Maps. We're excited to have you on the first step of our journey toward a suite of tools geared toward making D&D more accessible to DMs and the players they journey with.

Beta Testing Phase
A fair warning: This tool is in Beta, so bugs and performance issues are to be expected as we put Maps Beta to the test! We’re starting out slow and steady, focusing on the fundamentals needed for this VTT experience, so bear with us.

Over the coming months, we’ll refine features as well as add new ones. For the latest update on Maps, keep an eye on the D&D Beyond Changelog.
