I'm the Dungeon Master for my group's game and as much as I love writing everything in word or on paper, it would be nice if there was a space in DNDBeyond dedicated to organizing narratives or story points and scripts. Like a "Dungeon Master's Adventure Book", each "page" of the book could be a different game session and what you have prepared for that game in terms of writing.
Perhaps there might also be templates to help the writing process along, like there are tables in the various dungeon master guide books, these tables might be something you can view when you hover your mouse over the next "structural piece" of your custom adventure.
It would just be nice to have everything in the same spot.
I agree, it would be really cool to see DND Beyond developing their Homebrew Campaign section. I only just discovered it, and hope they elaborate some more and add more features.
It would be cool if they added more ways for the DM to communicate certain information with the PCs. Something like a "Lore", "Background", etc. tab where you can add information for them that they can access pre-Quest. As well as a place where you as DM can summarise each session and post it on the Campaign page, so that PCs (and you too) can go back some time in the future and go read the whole quest again. (or recap if you haven't played for a while). There is so much that they can do with this, and I really hope that they give it some more attention.
It would be nice. With a little patience and prolific use of spoiler blocks, you can kind of do that now in the DM notes section of the campaign tools. It's how I prep for my weekly game. But what you suggest would be really nice. (as would editor tools for the tooltips, and titled spoiler blocks)
I really wish their campaign manager would just allow us to add our own adventures in the current adbenture format. Using facebook right now but really want to use ddb for it instead.

I currently use links to Google drive files to write a history for my players and/or documentation for myself. It would be very nice to see that as a feature in DnD Beyond. Currently my players have to have a Google account to see things.
Hi all,
