Unless I've totally overlooked this because I can't find it, I think a highly useful feature for DMs isto have quick stats tables for party members in a campaign. Things like base stats/modifiers, passive stats, and a list of any racial/class Feats (darkvision, advantage on rolls, immunity, etc).
Handy for quick look-ups, secret rolls, that kinda thing.
There are definitely plans for development in this area, whether we refer to it as quick stats, overview, DM screen, or otherwise, it's something that the development team understand will be of great use to DMs when managing campaigns.

This is great to hear, and I'm not even our group's DM!

Ive been hoping for a *quick stats* page for a while but upon hearing **DM Screen** my hopes have soared.... would be awesome to be able to put together details for a custom screen... like a drag and drop tables type thing to create your own custom screen... WOTC could also use this for market data to make the screen the players want! as for interactive things... an initiative tracker would also be really cool on that quick stats page?
Initiative tracker, encounter builder, detailed notes page, NPC managers, file sharing for maps and notes, quick access to PC and monster stats
I'm sure the mods are tired of people asking for this stuff (it's been pretty much constant for over a year now), but the fact that they still feel the need to respond gives me a slim piece of hope.
I’m not super concerned about init tracker or any of those things except for pc quick ref page with hp ac senses and maybe a couple other things if I’m honest.
But it’s better to have tools and not use them than not have them if you need them I guess? Like I just use discord for most of those things... even irl games I have a server with a text channel for each NPC, adding notes as I go so I can always access it, that also covers map and note sharing. And there’s tools out there for the other stuff, but I’ll admit a one stop shop would be cool 😎
I can't wait for more campaign management tools like this. I want DDB to revolutionize my DMing the way it has my approach to the game as a player!
This is what I'm interested in. I want a DM screen that is very handy and lets you have access to the "quick stats" as he called it of the characters in the same campaign.

Seconded
