Back in 2023, I reacted in a very grumpy fashion to D&D's announced virtual tabletop, now dubbed Project Sigil. Well, now it's here—with surprisingly little fanfare, I might add—and it's available to test out for "free". I say free in airquotes, because if you want the full suite of features, you'll need a D&D Beyond Master Tier subscription.
A couple years ago, my gut reaction to this whole business was that it was built on a "big-budget misunderstanding of what matters in role-playing games". These are harsh words, and I still generally stand by them—but you might be pleased to know that, on a face level, I do think what Wizards of the Coast has put together here is sort of cool and charming, even if I struggle to find use-cases for it.
