Arcane Circle v2.0 — The Upcast

The wait is over. v2.0 rebuilds Arcane Circle from the foundation up — a sharper, cleaner site and our biggest feature yet: an in-house Virtual Tabletop. Here's everything new.

A Brand-New Look

• A complete site redesign — a cleaner, sharper interface built entirely around your GM tools
• A new floating navigation and redesigned header across the whole site
• Your GM Screen now pulls followed-GM and guild feeds into one place
• Rebuilt game discovery, calendar, and dashboard on the new design

🎲 Arcane Circle VTT — Closed Beta

• Maps — upload your own map images with a grid overlay
• Tokens — place, drag, resize, and rotate, with HP bars, status markers, and nameplates
• NPCs — a reusable NPC/token bank, drag-to-spawn, lightweight stat blocks, and show/hide-to-players controls
• Initiative tracker with turn order
• Measurement tools — ruler plus cone, circle, square, and line templates, visible to the whole table
• Vision & fog — fog of war, dynamic line-of-sight, and barriers
• Dice and chat built in, with your character sheets carried straight onto their tokens

Who gets access? Alpha testers and all paid subscription tiers can dive into the VTT Beta starting today.

• A smarter link tool that pre-fills from your selected text, plus collapsible panels on mobile

Character Sheets & D&D Beyond Import
