As players might expect, the basic set of digital dice is free and and extras are usually microtransactions or rewards for certain purchases. The recently revealed Icewind Dale dice, for example, can be unlocked by pre-ordering the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons adventure book on DnD Beyond. The latest dice to be revealed are very cool looking, perfect for a healer or alchemist, and cannot be purchased through the usual Marketplace on DnD Beyond....

DnD is more popular than ever and its fifth edition is now packed with different adventures and worlds for fans to explore. While plenty of its adventures feature some frightening elements like Ghosts of Saltmarsh and Rime of the Frostmaiden, the new Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft is the first book since Curse of Strahd to explore more classic horror themes and it does so with aplomb. The new sourcebook provides more than a dozen new Domains of Dread for players to explore and gives DMs the tools to create their own while giving solid breakdowns of several different genres of horror....

For the uninitiated, the Tarrasque is a massive, quadrupedal beast with a reputation for being the single most powerful creature to live on the material plane. Nothing else comes close to this beast’s ferocity and tenacity, but it has several weaknesses as well. The Tarrasque was first introduced in Dungeons and Dragons’ first edition Monster Manual II. It was here that its position as an essentially unkillable titan was cemented thanks to its numerous defensive abilities and extremely high damage output capabilities....

The thousands of Bagan followers who gathered at the stadium on a rain-soaked evening will be pleased with the way the team played. The first match of the season is quite crucial for any team and the ‘green and maroon’ brigade enjoyed one of their best season openers in recent time. The win will give them enough oxygen for the remainder of the tournament, but their second-half display was not fruitful and has to be reflected upon....

Durant scored 50 points to lead the Warriors to a 129-110 victory and a 4-2 series win over the Clippers, who put up a good fight in the Western Conference first round. But Durant could have likely scored far more points had the game been in doubt. Because after the Clippers jumped out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter, Durant took charge, finishing the first half with 38 points....

With Craig making his final outing as Bond in No Time To Die, there has been relentless speculation about who will succeed him in the coveted role. And Johnson has made it clear that he would like to be cast as the British secret agent, particularly as he has a family connection to the hit franchise. In an interview with Esquire, the screen star, 49, revealed that his grandfather Peter Maivia played a villain in the 1967 Bond film You Only Live Twice....

That event, and a long list of others, hint toward the fact that things didn't end well in Los Angeles for Howard. His brief stay there saw an injury-plagued Lakers team--which included Howard's back injury--struggle through what was expected to be a title-contending season. Howard didn't fit in Los Angeles last season, and he didn't think he fit in their future either.

The way Howard runs the court and flies through the air, he has not looked like a 34-year-old with a serious of back and shoulder issues, but closer to his prime “Superman” years with the Orlando Magic. In fact, it has even been rumored that the 2008 dunk champion would participate in this year’s Dunk Contest in Chicago. Howard, along with JaVale McGee and Anthony Davis, has provided a daunting blockade for opponents at the rim....

The Bruins were riding an 18-game point streak during which they went 14-0-4. The 68-69 team, which included Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge and Johnny Bucyk, went 13-0-5 from Dec. 28 through Feb. 5. Boston was five games away from matching the all-time franchise record of 23 straight games, set by the 1940-41 squad. After Anaheim built a 2-0 lead, Ryan Spooner got Boston on the board with less than a minute left in the third period to prevent a shutout....

At 6-8, he has fantastic size for the perimeter and is a matchup nightmare thanks to his scoring and playmaking ability. An intriguing pro prospect, Ingram appears to be in line for a massive freshman year. He will need to produce early and often, as the Blue Devils lost freshman Justise Winslow to the NBA, and Ingram will be needed to fill his shoes.

Teams need their fans to get pumped for games, and what better way than releasing a hype video to the masses? Duke is becoming king of the hype videos. The school and fans are releasing videos, all good in their own right. There’s something about the “Banner Hunters” series that has been working for Duke, and they don’t plan on changing things yet.

The younger Robinson gained early admittance into Duke University as part of the Class of 2019 and will join five-star big man Chase Jeter and five-star shooting guard Luke Kennard in Duke’s No. 15 ranked recruiting class in the nation. “I’m happy to get early decision from Duke since it is so amazing academically,” Justin said via text to 247Sports . “It’s been a long time dream for me. The opportunity to be a preferred walk-on is exciting and I’m looking forward to being a part of the Duke Basketball tradition....

The 2-seed Blue Devils overcame a horrific start — and finish — to the first half to upend the 3-seed Red Raiders 78-73. And, as was the case in the second-round victory over Tom Izzo and Michigan State, Duke pulled off the victory with a strong finish. MORE: Watch Duke vs. Texas Tech live with fuboTV (free trial) That was the antithesis of how Duke started the game; Mark Adams’ vaunted defensive team nabbed steals on consecutive Blue Devils possessions and turned a defensive rebound into three straight fast-break scores to take a 10-2 lead....

India’s performance in England in the ongoing Test series has been lackluster, to say the least, and it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if a few of the players who are in the squad are dropped for India’s next Test assignment. With that in mind and the possibility of earning a call-up to the Indian Test side up for grabs, there will be quite a few players, who will be looking to have a strong Duleep Trophy....

This Dungeons and Dragons adventure has been out for a bit less than a month, which is plenty of time for many DMs who pre-ordered the book to delve into the mystery with their players. DnD is a game that rewards long-term planning and plot development, and Icewind Dale helps DMs do that by providing tons of details and helpful info boxes. The book as a whole is incredibly streamlined, and although it may not be exactly what first-time DMs want, Dungeon Masters with a bit more experience under their belts will find that the whole adventure set-up is on their side....

The first DLC, releasing this summer, will be free for everyone. Called Wraiths, the new content will include a new story mission comprised of three individual levels, similar to the three-act story structure found in Dark Alliance’s other campaign missions. While there aren’t many details on the new mission, it will see players battle wraiths that are attempting to corrupt a forest.

Really, DnD Beyond is an all-around resource for Dungeons and Dragons. It helps players create new characters, look up rules, spells, and plenty more. DnD Beyond is perfect for those that want to run a campaign that’s just a little less traditional, as it will allow players to move pretty much everything onto a tablet as opposed to keeping track of tons of paper and character sheets.

It goes without saying that 2020 brought about unprecedented changes to the way many tabletop enthusiasts were able to play their games. Lockdowns prevented public spaces like libraries or game shops from hosting spaces for tabletop gaming, and quarantines kept campaign groups from being able to meet in person. Luckily for those players, services like DnD Beyond and Roll20 were available to facilitate online play for those eager to continue their campaigns or start new ones....
