Not sure this is the appropriate thread. Direct me elsewhere if this is the wrong place.
I would like to be able to assign any adventures I buy to a campaign. I would like to then, after I assign the adventure, be able to leave notes for myself INSIDE of the pages where it lists the adventures. IDK how it would look, but if there was any way for me to leave sticky notes like, "Change this NPC into (Such and such character's backstory related NPC)" or the like. When I DM, I tend to change a lot of the NPCs on the fly or re-assign new NPCs to certain roles to increase player engagement. Having a way to keep track of this digitally in one place would make DDB my one-stop shop for all my DMing needs. :)

I didn't see a list anywhere. It works in Campaign Management & Homebrew Creation & Forums...so, everywhere?
I figured it out homebrewing an item but using the template for Goggles of the NIght...they had typed in the box something like [s3ense]darkvision[/s3nse]. I just ran with it. Pretty sweet, yea?
The only list I know how to find is here, and that's using the Global Search.
This really needs to be stickied somewhere in out's own "How To" post.
I edited the tooltip how-to into the PbP sticky post a while back, so it's there too!
Thanks Stormknight, I'm catching up on threads now and saw that you responded to a previous request for this a few weeks back. Sorry for the double post! :)
Would it be possible to get this added into the Site Rules & Guidelines thread or have some kind of "Using Forum Tools" thread up underneath those top two?

Unrelated - does the campaign time management note include the ability to create and print a custom calendar for the campaign. This would fill a gap in what other tools offer. Donjon comes close, but it isn't really printable. Also, is a monster builder part of the encounter builder or is that something separate (e.g. part of homebrewing)?
Hi all, I would love the ability to create notes and give them to players as items , same thing for letters and maps. Then I would like to create non magical items( like a wooden spoon with an inscription on it or a specific item to my campaign) and give it to a player. I believe that without this thing's I cant replace my players sheets with just the app.
Under the campaign, where the active characters are listed. Can you put the same character widget you have when viewing a character instead of the view that is there. The one that has the character portrait, name, class/level, experience bar and the small triangle drop down that allows the edit, manage, rest, and export functions.
The reason I'm asking for this is because as DM, I would like to award experience and manage rests without needing to go in an view each character. Also, having their "experience bar" in that view would be helpful. Sometimes because of the post-session chat and fun I lose track whom I've given experience to already. A good look at the level and current experience bar (relative to other players) will let me hone in on the person that still needs their experience.
Thanks!

I want a "blank" DM screen that allows me to pick the rules/charts I want to display on it and it allows me to move them around on the screen so I can set up the layout best for me.

We've got that on the list. No ETA, but it's on our radar.

That would be incredible. Add in other components like PC stats (perception, ac, link to the character sheet), initiative/combat tracker, campaign management elements, etc. Tie it to a subscription and that'd be a must have at many tables.

I didn't see it in this thread but I had the issue where a player deleted his character and there's no option to restore recently deleted characters etc. There's also no option to lock the character sheets from editing/deletion by the DM.

The player can contact our Support team to see about restoring the character. We have to be cautious with how that works with subscription limits, but it is possible if everything is on the up and up.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to raise this, but looking through the wishlist I did not see a function to be notified of changes made by a PC.
I am sure such things dont go on in the real world, but I have heard it said that some folks might be tempted to subtly upgrade their character from time to time.
To help control this, the DM should be notified of changes made to a character registered in a campaign.
