Two popular characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 will soon be playable at no cost in the upcoming official virtual tabletop game for Dungeons & Dragons, known as Project Sigil.
At Gen Con 2024, Wizards of the Coast revealed that their free-to-play virtual tabletop program will now feature beloved IPs like Baldur’s Gate 3, highlighting popular characters like Astarion and Karlach.
Project Sigil is an immersive 3D VTT sandbox featuring highly detailed miniatures and elaborate environments for players to explore and interact with. Additionally, this application will offer a variety of features including homebrew content, free tools, and purchasable items.
Project Sigil will offer both a free and premium version upon its release. The premium features will only be accessible to players with D&D Beyond subscriptions, while the Baldur’s Gate 3 characters will remain free for all fans.

Although WotC did not officially reveal any other characters from Baldur’s Gate 3, it is highly likely that we will see some familiar faces – especially fan favorites such as Gale or Halsin.
In addition to this crossover, the game has had a significant impact on the D&D world, as various aspects of BG3 have made their way into the tabletop universe. Most recently, Larian Studios’ highly successful game has even altered the mechanics of D&D spells.
Based on the audience’s knowledge and experience with Project Sigil, it can be inferred that the wide range of tools available to Dungeon Masters will foster creativity among both beginners and experienced players.
The recent inclusion of popular playable characters from Baldur’s Gate 3, along with the introduction of new options, has generated a lot of anticipation among fans eager to begin playing. Project Sigil will further expand the already extensive range of options for playing tabletop games remotely, at any time and from any location.
The addition of accessibility options and expanded DM tools greatly enhances the excitement of adventures in games like Dungeons & Dragons for fans.
