Thanks for all the support and great work goin on here. I'm loving it and I hope my players do too. On that note, is there, or will there be, a method for me, the DM, to add characters to a campaign and assign them to specific people or do they have to go through the character creation process themselves?
Following for a Similar question. I have some players not wanting to build in DDB. Can I create a Character and add them to the campaign to help with my keeping up with them. I would just update them from game play. I went ahead and built one with that in mind but see no way to add them?
I will try if the join link works from the character creation area.
Ok that worked. copied the join link into browser and added the needed characters from my own account. Kind of clunky that you do it that way and had to repeat instead of adding more than one at a time.
One thing that you can do if the players have their own DDB account is have them use the campaign link to start a character that you can finish for them since you are the creator of the campaign. You can build the characters in your own account, but right now there is no way to transfer ownership of a character to another account. (That's something that is on the to-do list, the team has said.)

That seems a pretty good work around, but sometimes getting folks to even make a free account here feels like I am trying to pull teeth. But I would love the ability to basically make "Pregen Characters" for players to use in adventures. Myself I cannot express how much I try to promote DDB to get more folks using it locally in my area.

Right there with ya. Half my crew has embraced it and are loving it. The other half have stuck with their Forged Anvil spreadsheet. Which also means that I have to do double work when I create homebrew magic items.

This... so much this. It just sucks that my newbie players will have to make their own characters...
I'll just have to have a session 0 or have people come over early on the first night when the campaign starts on the 5th!
A session 0 is so important for setting any house rules, group roles can even be discussed. If you have a good group of players even new ones that can work together in a session 0 and do a good job of talking to each other after group roles are covered so they have a basic idea of what your looking for as they may not know what they need.

Yeah, that kinda makes sense. I just figured it out too. I created some characters and used the link and was able to pick a character...
It is kinda klunky though...
