Do you love Eberron, or maybe you've just recently heard of the setting with the release of Eberron: Forge of Artificer? What if I told you there's a whole community of players and DMs that have been around for half a decade, running multiple adventures and connecting unique characters and yes even making memes just a link away? That's right! Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn is a server in discord where we run D&D games! Not only seamlessly combining 5e and OneDnD content, but adding popular Eberron 3rd party content such as Exploring Eberron and other Keith Baker products to our player options. All while DMs bounce ideas and look into popular 3rd party sources like Duran's Guide to the Blood of Vol and the Giant's Guide to Xen'drik for even more stories to unfold! We have Sharn as our main hub, so even when you're not engaging into quests you can roleplay with a vast community and bring your own stories into the mix. With special encounters avaliable so you can fight crime in the streets of Callestan or help patrol King's Forest against the nefarious Jungle Boys! We're also actively seeking special events as the Eberron we've expanded on together continues to flourish. Including the implementation of holiday events providing special challenges and opportunities. Discord server - Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn

Fantasy Grounds Unity is a high-power virtual tabletop originally released in 2004 and completely rebuilt on the Unity engine in 2020. Developed by SmiteWorks, it is the industry pioneer of "automated play," where the software handles complex rules, modifiers, and combat math natively. In a massive industry shift in late 2025, the platform moved to a completely free-to-play model, removing the traditional $50 license fee to compete directly with modern browser-based rivals. Description Fantasy Grounds is often described as a "Digital Dungeon Master’s Assistant." It is a standalone application (not a browser site) that provides the most stable and deep automation available. While it has a more traditional, window-based interface that can feel daunting to new users, it rewards the "Power GM" with unparalleled control over combat and data. Since becoming free in late 2025, it has positioned itself as the premier "zero-cost" entry point for groups who want professional-grade automation without a subscription. System Overview & Key Features Native Ruleset Automation Unlike other VTTs that rely on community plug-ins, Fantasy Grounds features "Hard-Coded" automation for its primary systems. When a player drags an attack onto a target, the software automatically checks for cover, calculates the hit against Armor Class, applies damage, and tracks temporary hit points or resistances without any manual input. V5.1 Visual Intelligence The 2026 update introduced "Aggregated Notifications." Instead of scrolling through a wall of text in a chat box, combat results like damage, saving throws, and status effects now appear as elegant visual icons and pop-ups directly over the tokens on the map. 2.5D Tactical Mapping While it supports traditional 2D top-down maps, FGU includes a unique 2.5D camera mode. This provides a sense of depth and perspective to battlemaps, making the digital table feel more like a physical diorama with "placeable" 3D-like objects like trees and furniture. Total Offline Capability Because it is a localized application, you can prepare your entire campaign, build NPCs, and write story entries without an internet connection. Your data is stored on your hard drive, giving you total ownership of your campaign files. The Fantasy Grounds Forge FGU features an integrated marketplace and community portal called "The Forge." This allows GMs to browse and auto-install thousands of community-made extensions and themes that update automatically whenever the main software is launched. Cross-Platform Unity Engine Built on the Unity 6 engine (as of 2026), the software offers smooth performance on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It uses hardware acceleration to handle complex dynamic lighting, weather effects, and large-scale vision blocking for massive dungeon crawls.
