Hey, I recently bought Legendary Bundle and Master subscription, and was testing out the capabilities with one of the players in my group. I made a new campaign, and he created a new test character in it, and then I enabled content sharing, blocking all adventures and a few sourcebooks. That worked well, the player couldn't add any items from any non shared content (tried with Hellfire weaponry from Descent into Avernus).
Then I tried adding a Hellfire Dagger onto his character - which was successful too and he could see it. However, he could see more too with that - in fact, he could see all of Descent's content now (tried with asking him to add Matalotok without me doing it manually - he saw it even though Descent's content was still blocked on the sharing menu). No matter what I did (removing all Descent items from character sheet; reallowing and blocking Descent's content; deactivating and reactivating his character), nothing fixed the situation - he can still see all items from Descent up to now.
My intent was to have the players content to the sourcebooks for maintaining their characters while leveling up, but I didn't want to give them access to Descent's content, instead manually placing single items in their inventory once they have fully and correctly identified them, without them manually scouring that. So, is there any way to fix such a character, or do I have to resort to Homebrewing every item from the adventure manually and never enabling or giving anything from there?
I'm not sure how the content was originally being blocked on the character's sheet whilst you had sharing turned on, however this iteration of Content Management currently only blocks access to the compendium content, not the character sheet content. :)
So, for example, if you block Descent Into Avernus the player won't be able to access the book on D&D Beyond unless they own a copy themselves. It will not, however, prevent them from taking the Faceless background, or adding magic items from the adventure to the sheet.
Huh, interesting. Mayhaps we just failed at a search roll there. This does detract a bit from my excitement on using the tool, but it shouldn't be a problem with my current group, who are fairly honorbound. And hopefully, by the future, Content Sharing will be more customizable.
I've actually have similar problem and not so much experience in content sharing on D&D Beyond, so I'd really appreciate help on this topic. I was wondering - will I be able to share my homebrew content with master subscription to my players, who are using free plan?
