Gen Con 2026: D&D Beyond Adds New Features and the Dungeons & Dragons Partnership Expands

Posted on by
D&D Beyond

Wizards of the Coast tackled one of Dungeons & Dragons’ greatest barriers to entry head-on by announcing and launching a new Looking For Group feature on D&D Beyond. Players now have three simple ways to find a D&D group: find local in-person events through an event finder, form tables with the online community via the D&D Discord server or find professional Dungeon Masters through a new partnership between D&D Beyond and StartPlaying. The StartPlaying partnership helps players immediately find a D&D game that’s right for them with a highly trained Dungeon Master waiting to take them on an adventure for the first time. For those first-time adventurers new to playing D&D or D&D Beyond online, Wizards of the Coast announced a special promotion where for a limited time, you can find and join a game on StartPlaying for $0.99. More information is available on the D&D Beyond website.

In addition to helping players find a group, the D&D Beyond team also unveiled a brand-new mobile app experience built on top of a new game platform that will be geared towards in-person play.  This mobile experience is completely redesigned from the ground up to make it easier and more intuitive to play D&D your way. Look forward to this release in early 2027. 

NEW PARTNERSHIP: 

The Dungeons & Dragons team announced a new partnership program, working with studios across the tabletop game industry to bring official, annual TTRPG support for D&D’s most iconic campaign settings. Initial partnerships include Ghostfire Gaming with a new Ravenloft release (2027) and Visionary Productions with Eberron (2028) and Kobold Press with the Forgotten Realms (2028). In the years ahead, the program will expand to include additional settings, ensuring D&D’s most popular settings are all supported for their biggest fans.
