D&D Beyond (DDB) is the official digital toolset and game companion for Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition. DDB hosts online versions of the official Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition books, including rulebooks, adventures, and other supplements. In addition to the official D&D content available to purchase, it also provides the ability to create and add custom homebrew content. Along with digital compendiums, D&D Beyond provides digital tools like a character builder and digital character sheet, monster and spell listings that can be sorted and filtered, and an encounter builder. It has two virtual tabletop (VTT) options for users – the 2D Maps VTT and the 3D Sigil VTT.
D&D Beyond also publishes original video, stream, and article content, including interviews with Dungeons & Dragons staff, content previews and tie-ins, and development updates.
D&D Beyond was formerly operated by Curse LLC, a subsidiary of Twitch. However, on December 12, 2018, Fandom, Inc. announced that it had acquired all of Curse's media assets, including D&D Beyond. On April 13, 2022, Hasbro announced that it would be acquiring D&D Beyond. The official transfer to Wizards of the Coast, a division of Hasbro, occurred on May 18, 2022.
