Please put some kind of encounter builder/calculator. Also, it would be very nice if all the stat blocks were agrouped in just one page.
For example, Encounter 1, CR 5, Hard for the level of the party, Monster A stat block, Monster B stat block, Monster C stat block. This would save so much time.
Hello! I apologize if this is a repeat request, but it would be very cool if DMs could have a "View [Trait X]" for the entire party. For example, if I could click on a button that showed each character's Passive Perception, it would make it way easier than clicking through 4-6 tabs.
Another option could be to have a "quick character sheet" side-by-side option for the entire party. That way, we could quickly figure out what everyone's current HP are, or Passive Perception, as listed above. I'm thinking of a column per player, with just the "usual" traits for a quick scan by the DM.
I'm loving the site! My players have all been able to make their characters with no guidance, which speaks to how user-friendly everything is. Great job so far, and I can't wait to see what's next! :)
Can we get party loot management of some sort. Preferably something where we can put together a package of items, then easily tag one as going to a pc and hit a button to distribute?

Party inventory management is definitely on the list. No ETA yet, but it's on the radar.
I just ran into one thing: if you are running a campaign with multiple DMs... that is not supported at the moment, right? Would be a good feature to add.

I think this is a great idea! How ever they have said they won't be getting to campaign management until they get the character builder to a good place and launch the app but hopefully this will come soon!
There might even be a simpler way to get what I want: allow a character sheet to be viewed by other party members. I see no reason for why your friends are not able to simply view each other's sheets.

The next thing after the equipment revamp that the staff are working on is the ability to view (read only)/copy/transfer ownership of character sheets.
This should allow the sharing of a link to allow anyone else to view your character, but i doubt it will allow viewing within a campaign, you will need each user to sent you the link to be able to view if you are not the DM, but it should be a good enough work around until they work on the campaign management.
Thanks for your response. I think sharing the link is fine as a workaround, one can just add the links to the Public DM Notes (right now I am making everyone export to PDF, share on google docs and link them all there so that other DMs can look at the sheets, but its sub-optimal since the export doesn't contain everything). Again, thanks for the response.
I would like the ability to bookmark spells, creatures, NPCs to my campaign. That way before my next game session, I can print out the list of things I know will in that day's adventure. Right now I use pfsprep.com to generate MS Word or PDF documents for specific Pathfinder adventures I have run in the past.

Would that include inventory management for the party? I know a lot of parties like to manage "party funds" or track what is inside of a Bag of Holding and keep it separate from their personal inventory (if they have a bank or a place where they store stuff)?
After a couple of days playing with the software, i have some feedback on the campaign manager.
A campaign tracker where you can manage the events by game sessions.
The ability to whisper things to players via private notes at the table if they are playing with a portable or through player section in the application.
The ability to transfert equipment to a PC.
A weather generator via a calendar of the campaign.
Via a calendar, the ability to generate news, tumors, events that are going on in the world that the pcs have access to.
A campaign forum.
A combat tracker.
I've seen many comments suggesting some kind of map viewer where you can manage the encounter like in Roll20. Personally, i don't think it's necessary to develop such a thing. I play with real maps and minis and such a feature would be a waste of time since many other applications support those features. I would really like Beyond to focus on managing TABLE TOP games and not virtual games.
My final suggestion would be to consider using some kind of dashboard approach in designing the campaign manager. One control page where you can see the important info about the campaign and links to the specific information. It would show a quick view of the pcs with important info, a panel with info to the pcs, the combat tracker, the current day in the campaign, quick notes for the DM, a panel for the forum and the recent posts, etc. Its just a broad stroke to illustrate what i'm seeing. It's not easy since English is not my native tongue.
When I shared a campaign with my players, they got access to all the material!? I would like to be able to choose what to release to them, allow them campaign specific items and maps. Also, please give me an initiative tracker where I can prepare a battle in advance. It would ideally have an initiative roll feature built in and/or let me fill it in in advanced.
We started running a campaign recently, and we've successfully added all of our characters to it.
I'm the only one with a Beyond Subscription and any content, and it's worked really well in terms of allowing people to roll their characters up and use the sheets.
The only problem is that I'm not the DM. Another friend is the DM, but he has no way to access the campaign and see our characters. Could we look at some solutions for this? Perhaps allow me as the campaign owner to nominate another Beyond account (even if only a free account) as the DM?

Your friend (the one who is supposed to be the DM) can create the campaign. You as a player can enable the sharing. The Master Tier subscription works even if you are not the campaign creator.

I would still like a way to have certain info that could be noted, but only view-able by the DM. Discovery of a fellow PC's backstory and faults via role-playing throughout the campaign is what I prefer.Maybe just have another section(s) added that would be DM view-able only as a beginning and than if time/resources allows a more robust feature that allows section/line hide able options for individuals to decide as each one is discovered.
