New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on November 4, 2022) follows:
Dungeons & Dragons (also known as ‘DND’) is an iconic role-playing game franchise. It has been around for decades in the form of classic board games and adaptations to digital platforms.
Players have multiple tools available that make it easy for them to set up games. For example, one of the most popular is DND Beyond, the official companion app for Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition.
However, currently many Dungeons & Dragons players are unable to access their characters through DND Beyond as it is down or not loading.
DND Beyond down or characters screen not loading
According to multiple reports, DND Beyond Character Interface is inaccessible or not working at the moment. This means that players cannot view or modify their previously created characters.
D&D Beyond Character Interface Down? (0945z)
Title pretty much says it all. Unable to load character data, but all else works (sourcbooks, stuff search, etc.). Or is this just a Germany/EU issue?
