We are thrilled to announce that StartPlaying has raised $6.5M in Seed funding, led by a16z, general partners Jonathan Lai and Andrew Chen.

This week, Roll20 and StartPlaying are teaming up to introduce you to new TTRPGs and new D&D friends. Roll20Con will be underway from November 12-14 with previews, announcements, charity, and special online games run by professional GMs. With so much going on, we thought it would help to break it all down. Here’s everything you can do during Roll20Con 2021. 

Avatar: the Last Airbender is in the midst of a resurgence, and that includes a brand new TTRPG. A currently running Kickstarter aims to get books in players’ hands sometime in early 2022, but you can play now using a free sample set of the rules. Don’t worry if you don’t have a Game Master, we happen to have a few that have mastered all the elements of this new system and can save your world. 

When Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos hits shelves on November 16, it will be missing any trace of the shared subclasses seen in a recent Unearthed Arcana playtest. Fans apparently had a very strong reaction to the idea of subclasses that can be used by multiple different classes. 

Many Dungeons & Dragons players want more official high-level content, but it doesn’t look like Wizards of the Coast plans to grant that wish anytime soon. In a recent press conference, D&D head Ray Winninger said that the design team is not putting focus on campaigns set in the highest player levels. 

Wizards of the Coast revealed new details about what players can expect from the upcoming hardcover adventure Wild Beyond the Witchlight. When the book releases on September 21, players will find a level 1-8 adventure, two new backgrounds and races, the return of classic 1980s D&D characters, and peaceful solutions to every encounter.
