Beyond20 v2.9.5 release
🕑 Added 2024-07-28 01:58:47 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
As promised, here's the Beyond20 update which fixes the current issues with rolling on the updated D&D Beyond character sheets.
As usual, it will take some time before it becomes available on the browser's respective stores. In the past, it had taken a few hours to Chrome to finish reviewing the update, and about one week for both the Firefox and Edge stores to finish the review process and make the update available.
(UPDATE: It's now published on all 3 stores)
Keep an eye out for when v2.9.5 drops for your browser of choice.
Here's the release notes for this update:
Hi everyone,
Another bugfix release for Beyond20, to fix various rolls which broke after D&D Beyond progressively updated their character sheets in the recent weeks, which eventually broke rolling ability checks, saving throws, initiative, character actions, class features, feats, and the parsing of spell sources.
This release also works around a bug in Foundry’s v12 dnd5e system which prevented the rolls from Beyond20 from appearing in the chat log.
After multiple pokes, and waiting more than reasonable, it appears that D&D Beyond has no interest in re-establishing communications with the Beyond20 team and ensuring the extension remains compatible with their continuous changes to the website. It is certainly a great disappointment to be honest, but it is what it is, unfortunately.
This release is dedicated to @dmportella from the community who has stepped up in the past couple of weeks, submitted all the fixes for the extension and helped with github issues. A huge huge thank you for taking care of things while I was incapacitated, and I’d recommend people buy him a coffee instead of me this time around!
As always, thank you everyone who contributed to the project, including my generous Patrons and Ko-fi/Github supporters.
Enjoy!

I'm disappointed to hear about DDB halting communication but not surprised. I know next to nothing about the behind the scenes stuff, but they've been talking about releasing their own VTT for quite awhile. Hasbro has absolutely no care for how much they have benefitted from what you have done for the gaming community. You are amazing, your extension is amazing, and what you and your extension have done for VTT gamers is amazing. I hope their VTT fails.
