As someone who has run a mostly-online 5th Edition D&D campaign for almost five years at this point, I am always on the lookout for fresh and fun tools that can make that experience more engaging for my players and, ideally, my life as the Dungeon Master easier. Initially revealed last year at Gen Con 2024 during the Dungeons & Dragons Live event, Sigil 3D VTT - formerly Project Sigil - now looks to be Wizards of the Coast’s virtual tabletop sandbox tool for players and DMs. During a recent trip to Wizards’ headquarters, I got to sit in on a hands-off demonstration of an updated build of the tool, complete with a new trailer teasing its use for one of the best tabletop RPGs. Visually speaking, I was impressed with how the software is shaping up – being built in Unreal 5.4 – but from a feature standpoint, I was left a bit underwhelmed and unsure of when I would actually use it for my game nights.
However, there is no doubt that D&D Sigil has potential. Seeing as it still has plenty of development ahead, I have put together a list of five features that I would love to see implemented into the software – features that could turn this Sigil skeptic into a Sigil stan.
