D&D: World of Warcraft® is coming soon, but what is it and how do you play? Here’s everything you need to know!
Why play D&D: World of Warcraft®?
D&D: World of Warcraft® brings the storied MMO world from desktop to tabletop, and includes new rules for playing all 13 World of Warcraft® classes, featuring 9 new and reimagined subclasses and over 40 specializations. It launches November 17, but you can pre-order now for $39.99.
In World of Warcraft®, you create a character and explore a rich world filled with conflict. While you have a part to play in Azeroth’s story, the plotlines are already written.
In D&D, you write the story. You are the main character, along with your party, influencing the world alongside iconic champions and villains from the video game. Every choice your party makes shapes what happens next.
In World of Warcraft®, you experience Azeroth’s story. In D&D, you create your own.
Where can I play online?
Roll20 makes it easy to play D&D online with friends. It’s a virtual tabletop (VTT) where you and your party can build characters, roll dice, and adventure across Azeroth together. Creating a free account is all you need to get started.
- Recreate Your Main. D&D: World of Warcraft® offers rules for 16 World of Warcraft®-authentic species and all 13 World of Warcraft® classes, featuring 9 new and revised subclasses and 40+ specializations! Create your avatar in the free Roll20 Character Builder, or drag and drop equipment right onto your character sheet.
The Character Builder helps you create your avatar and review the features you’ll gain as you progress.
- Roll with a Click. Just like keybindings in World of Warcraft® let you activate your favorite abilities with a click, you can automate attacks, spells, and more with macros. Roll20 includes pre-built macros for the 50+ new monsters and 30 dungeon boss stat blocks in this book, making combat easy, fast, and fun.
Keep combat moving without opening your character sheet.
- Prep Faster. If you’re new to being a Dungeon Master, Map Pins make running adventures easy. Access information in your book from the map with one click! All dungeons in D&D: World of Warcraft® come with Map Pins pre-placed.
Map Pins mean important locations, encounters, and story beats are just a click away.
- Explore Azeroth. Delve into 7 iconic World of Warcraft® dungeons reimagined for tabletop play with Dynamic Lighting! Dynamic Lighting reveals the map as your players explore, limiting each player’s view to what their character can actually see. Maps on Roll20 come with Dynamic Lighting already set up.
