I recently had a player join my campaign. They brought a character over from an existing campaign with another GM from another Beyond account.
Apparently, that GM had no content (I have the full sub, so I have all the content.) That GM's solution was to ask players what content they wanted than manually input into Beyond with a tag [HB].
Now I use my own tag system. [Unique], [Legacy], [3rd Party], etc So you can see how this [HB] Tag is confusing. Not to mention. This content is duplicate content of core content. The trouble is, it is not showing up in my collection.
It's not showing up in my Homebrew collection, We've tried removing it from their character and replacing it with the core content. rebuilding their character from scratch, etc. Yet the content remains.
Those are probably in the player's own Homebrew Collection. Their previous GM could've given them links to the homebrew things and told them to add those to their homebrew collection (though it's not necessary to do so while in the same campaign.)
It's one legit way to share personal homebrew with others without publishing it - have a dummy campaign, invite person to join, give them the link to the homebrew, they add it to their collection, then they leave the campaign.

So now there is no way to actually delete it from my collection, because I invited a character that existed in another campaign? They'll always exist as "phantom" additions In my collection?

They don’t exist in “your” collection at all, they exist in that other player’s collection. All homebrewed content in all players’ collections is automatically shared within a campaign. If that player removes those ‘brews from their collection then they will vanish from the campaign. That player doesn’t really need them in their collection anyway because they have access to them in that other campaign and can use them on their characters in that other campaign without adding them to their own collection anyway due to the same homebrew sharing.
Hello all,
Quick question,
I recently had a player join my campaign. They brought a character over from an existing campaign with another GM from another Beyond account.
Apparently, that GM had no content (I have the full sub, so I have all the content.) That GM's solution was to ask players what content they wanted than manually input into Beyond with a tag [HB].
Now I use my own tag system. [Unique], [Legacy], [3rd Party], etc So you can see how this [HB] Tag is confusing. Not to mention. This content is duplicate content of core content. The trouble is, it is not showing up in my collection.
It's not showing up in my Homebrew collection, We've tried removing it from their character and replacing it with the core content. rebuilding their character from scratch, etc. Yet the content remains.
Any ideas how to remove it?
