With D&D Beyond's latest Alpha feature, you’ll be able to use interactive battle maps straight from your digital D&D library!

Cool, but I won't give DnD Beyond money after the 5e debacle. No thanks.

Use talespire. Or Foundry. Or literally anything.

In this case use Owlbear Rodeo, the great equivalent product that this is almost a clone of.

Sums up my feelings.

Out of curiosity, what’s your beef with the third party VTT’s?

Do not let hasbeenbro monopolize this shit

That's an 8 minute video to showcase basic vtt features like they're revolutionary.

After their efforts with 4e's VTT, I'm not surprised they're so happy to be able to show basic functionality

[–] huskypenguin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I must have missed that. But I pretty much ignored all of 4E.

I already have the master tier subscription due to the nature of how I support my players, who also hugely prefers owlbear rodeo over over VTTs and struggles to juggle tabs in browser for online play, this does interest me a lot.

I am not enthusiastic about this being in the pocket of Hasbro but with more integration into the rest of the character sheet, and initiative tracker, I could see my table actually using this. The majority of my players don't care about TTRPG politics and Hasbro's monopoly on the industry, I'd need to see if it's integrated further, as currently it's basically owlbear rodeo which pulls from D&DBeyond rather than proper integration.

Lol, The virgin interactive battlemaps vs. The Chad dungeon scrawl.

Anyone who's going over to beyond to play D&D specifically because of interactive battlemaps is kind of missing the point.
