So I've recently subscribed to D&D Beyond and I got to say, right off the bat, I love it so much. It really speeds character creation along, something I always welcome and to have all the monsters and items right there on one site is a godsend.
My one major suggestion is I would love for you fellows to include perhaps a "build your own encounter" option where I could select and drag certain monsters from the various compendiums and put them all on one page. As of right I have to open a new tab for each monster they are fighting which can slow the combat parts down slightly.
This is honestly only a minor criticism but I thought it might really help with streamlining fights during sessions.
During the latest livestream (and here on the forums) they have said that they are working on 'campaign management tools', which have been implied to possibly include encounter builders, monster builders, and initiative trackers. So hopefully this is in the pipeline, but no date has been announced. Soon!
Sadly, it has been soon for a while now, and there hasn't been much in the way of details released. For those of us that subscribed, we've paid a good bit of money for not much detail. Shame on us for purchasing a product that hasn't been proven, I guess.

If you spent money on D&D Beyond expecting that the additional campaign management tools were going to be up and working within a few weeks, then I am sorry that D&D Beyond has disappointed you. :(
The word "soon" gets thrown around too much - for example, I am aware that the moderators have been saying that the character sheet revamp is "coming soon" for 3 months now.
Campaign Management tools have never been promised within a timeframe though - that has been made quite clear any time they have been discussed.
At most, Badeye has said that they are on the roadmap as a planned feature. Some of those features are going to be amazing though!

Keep up the Awesome work!!!!
