How to Use Beyond Maps in Dungeons & Dragons

• Master Tier Subscription Required: D&D Beyond Maps is currently under development and requires a Master Tier subscription for the DM to utilize its functionalities within a campaign.
• Map Options: While a variety of pre-built "Basic Maps" are available (including environments like Mushroom Caves and Grass Fields), the true strength lies in custom map uploads. This empowers DMs to leverage existing maps from their collection or incorporate unique creations tailored to their adventures.
• Fog of War Management: A critical feature for maintaining suspense during exploration, Fog of War allows the DM to shroud unvisited areas in obscurity. Sections of the map are progressively revealed as players navigate the environment, fostering a sense of discovery.
• Simplified Token Management: The Token Browser streamlines the process of adding characters, monsters, and companions to the virtual map. DMs can customize tokens with names, border colors, and even utilize the hide function to orchestrate surprise encounters.
• Seamless Player Integration: Once the map is prepared, the DM can effortlessly share the campaign with their players. Integration with character sheets on D&D Beyond ensures players can access the map and their character information within a unified platform.
