News & Next Update Hints!

Now that we’ve gotten Tomb of Annihilation out the door, we’re looking ahead and we wanted to update you, our wonderful community, on the next few projects we’re working to bring to you!

We’ve been planning a major new update that we’re super stoked about. It’s a huge project that we’re hoping to release in early 2018. We promise to tell you more about it as we get closer to launch.

We’ve been holding off on releasing some officially licensed content until this update is live, as it adds awesome new features that we think ensure the best possible user experience. Xanathar’s Guide to Everything is one of these, and we therefore will not be releasing a Roll20 version on the hobby store date of November 10th. We have enjoyed releasing the latest _Dungeons & Dragons _content at the earliest possible date, but we believe that holding off on this release until new functionality can be implemented is the best move. This update will also allow us to create a better experience when we release other backlist D&D 5E content, such as the Player’s Handbook and Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide. Meanwhile, we will also continue working on other Dungeons & Dragons adventures.

Thanks your for your patience while we work to bring you this cool new stuff that makes gaming on Roll20 an even better experience. We love making this virtual tabletop as good as it can possibly be, and we can’t wait to share the next big thing with you!
