Let's roll.
D&D Beyond is the official companion site and app for the latest incarnation of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG, and lets you do things like quickly look up rules, create characters, and roll dice for skill checks. Most crucially for borderline-innumerate PC Gamer news writers, it also takes the maths out of players' hands, ensuring you don't forget to add or subtract this or that modifier when you make a skill check.
The freebies it's giving away are very minor but are—I reckon—still interesting. First up, you get a set of virtual BG3-themed dice, which is kind of neat but fairly ho-hum. The more interesting part is the filled-out character sheets for your fellow tadpole'd Baldur's Gate 3 companions. That means an easy way to bring Astarion, Lae'zel, Gale, Karlach, Shadowheart, and Wyll into your tabletop D&D games and a way to delve into their backstories without having to do anything as gauche as actually speaking with them in-game.
Interestingly, the stat scores on the TTRPG versions of your companions seem to be derived from their early access versions. Lae'zel seems to have a higher intelligence and a lower constitution on her free character sheet than she does in my game, while Shadowheart's charisma is a whole two points higher on her TTRPG version than it is in-game . What could this mean? Well, nothing. But I strongly encourage you to dream up a dramatic headcanon about it anyway.
