New Monster Manual

We have posted a Compatibility Pack for the D&D 2024 Monster Manual in the marketplace. It’s a work in progress that will be updated as we source art for all the new monsters and continue to refine using those monsters in play.

Freedom to Choose

We have always believed you should have the ability to choose a digital tool like Shard and the content you love for your game independently. That’s why we focused hard on making it ease for you to create everything from maps to character classes in Shard. It’s also the reason we’ve worked hard to embrace a wide variety of publishers that produce content for 5th edition games.

Export has arrived

For all the creators among us, export has arrived. You can now create whole books in Shard and export them for use elsewhere or as a means of backing things up.

Export produces an HTML rendering of the book as it appears in Shard with all the inline content (images, monster stat blocks, spells, etc.). That rendering can then be either downloaded or printed.

Let’s Get Chatty!

Users asked us about building chat into the application a lot over the last year or so. Our response was always, “When we can make it better than using an external chat application, we will…” I’m happy to report we figured that out and today “Chat” is going live.

Class Art

The art we commissioned for each class represented in the Shard Player’s Guide has been added to the book and attached to each class. You can now see this art in both the book and when picking a class in Shard. I’m stoked about it and couldn’t be prouder of the work Anderson Maia did to realize these classes. We hope you enjoy it too.

Link Magic

Shard has long supported hyperlinks to things like monsters, items, and even custom types in the text of books and tables within those books. The text editor even suggests words that correspond to those types to help you create links. When you are reading a book inside or outside of a campaign, clicking on a link to one of these types brings up the associated monster stat block, item description or custom type.

Until today, that’s as far as it went. Links were simply helpful references. Today, that changed.

Sword-Dancer

Sable wheels right and then left in a blur of steel. Enemies fall and yet she remains untouched, fluid and motionless at once.

Dhampir

Kala slips from the shadows, slaying the target by sliding her dagger into his heart. The bloodlust rises. Though she rejects her heritage, the yearning to feed mounts with each kill.
