I've been able to do content sharing before but today when my brother tried to make a character in my campaign he didn't have access to my purchased content. I have the master tier subscription, I have content sharing enabled for the campaign, and I have all the books turned on in content management within the campaign. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I'm very stressed since I am trying to get a group of people into my game with new characters. I'm not sure if there is a limit on characters but there are 6 pcs so far (with more to come) and character sheets for 11 npcs. Only 5 sheets are active, the rest have been deactivated. Advice is welcome. Thank you.

 So - the problem is your 11 NPCs probably.

If you created NPCs as a part of the campaign -

• Share Unlocked Official Content with others (For up to 5 campaigns, with up to 12 players each)

So what I always do is create the NPCs through Homebrew.

Just go to Create -> Monster -> Select one of the "bandits" or something - and adjust accordingly.

Otherwise, you could have them create a human fighter. Join the campaign. Then edit the character once they've joined the campaign to see if the options appear.

But I suspect it's your "NPCs" - because D&D Beyond doesn't know the difference between NPCs in a campaign and players.

So I'd recommend going the Homebrew for your NPCs.

Check that your Account Entitlements are in sync. They can sometimes unsync - I've had it happen myself a couple times.

Have him check his entitlements too, with the same link.

That’s not it. A DDB campaign can have up to 12 players, each with up to 99 characters.

You can check out the Content Access Troubleshooting FAQ for likely answers to your dilemma: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/142100-how-to-access-content-on-d-d-beyond-faq).

I didn't know my own characters would count against the limit. I'll give it a try by removing them from the campaign.

Your characters count against a limit of 99 characters per player for up to 12 players. Your characters are not the problem.

I was thinking if the NPCs are in the "Unclaimed" Status - it might? Because it wouldn't know who those characters are for?

Like I said - I am not sure, because I usually do my NPCs as "Homebrew Monsters" - and just look them up there, when I need to.

Ahhh… if they’re unclaimed it might…. That hadn’t occurred to me that they would be unclaimed. That might be it. Good thinkin.’ In that case they wouldn’t have to remove the NPCs, simply claim them.

Shh! Keep it down about the good thinkin'! People start to expect it if you do it too often! :D
