I really need some help here. I paid the Master tier, bought PHB, MM, VGM, and LMoP to start playing with friends. I created the campaign, sent the links with a message inviting all players and shared the contents.
4 players, all of them Champion (free)tier, came to my home, everybody brought laptops. We did the character sheets together,we tested several configurations (races, classes, skills, etc). Everything worked just fine; now it is time to finally play.
But where do we start playing? How to start the campaign? When I am on the campaign screen I have the option "view campaign" but there is no "play campaign".
I mean, do I need to use Google Hangout and make a meeting where I share my screen and maps from LMoP? Do I use Twitch? Skype? If so, how do I show/share the maps and the other information with my players?
When I access my Compendium tab, in adventures I can see LMoP but it looks like just a digital version of the book, I don't see any special content which makes that difference for playing the campaign with my friends. There are no maps or tokens where I can position the enemies and the players for encounters, for instance....
Can anybody give me some tip about how to, effectively, start playing the campaign, when everything is ready?
Note:
It was really frustrating..... 5 guys (4 players and me, the DM) looking for answers, digging the forums/FAQ trying to discover how to start the campaign and 2 hours later we gave up.
Maybe I was expecting something like Fantasy Grounds type of game..... I believe that maybe a detail is missing to make the campaign start. I invested money and time in DDB because I do believe it is going to be something nice to share with friends.
I play 5e weekly with those friends, we finished a homebrew campaign 3 weeks ago and we agreed to start HotDQ. However, before that, I suggested to us to try DDB, but it seems I am (everybody is) "dummy" to understand how the dynamics of the game works.
Sorry for your inconveniece, but there is no "play campaign" button. DDB, for now, is not a VTT. You can play the campaign you bought at the table, or via internet (video call or PbP).
To share artwork, or map with your group, you can put them in the Public Notes on your campaign page.
It's a breakdown in communication. A lack of feature without explanation how it's meant to be is just a lack of feature. I guess it could also be called managing expectations because as he said - everything up to the point of actually playing is there. You can even track XP, change health totals, take rests, cast spells, etc.
Sorry, Drakortex, DDB as of right now is meant as a helping tool to actual play. It doesn't (again, as of yet) replace or enhance the gameplay part, just the creation and tracking of characters and items. Also, you may want to create a "Party chest" character or something that holds the items that are not currently held by any of the players :)
Thank you Filcat, Erylia_DM and Winenose for replying my thread.
I was really expecting something different, maybe I created a sort of expectation which did not match with the reality of what I got. That was my mistake and I don't want to sound bitter here.
I have some points to share:
1) In terms of sharing the contents with my players and letting them creating their characters for my campaign, and about seeing their progress/characters.
I use character sheets from DMSGUILD, for instance one from morepurplemorebetter that you can create and generate (using Adobe Acrobat) a very nice and complete sheet with spells, magic items, inventory, even the sheet for your companion, etc. That file you download from DMSGUILD paying whatever you want; if you don't want to pay, you download it for free.
I use it, my players use it. I have the digital file as well as the printed version from my players with me. I can track their progress and what is happening with them during the sessions and when they upgrade we just update the files. I don't need to pay $5.00 monthly to have their files on my computer at any time whether we are playing or not.
2) In terms of "special" digital content used in DDB, I am not that much sure about that, because anybody can get digital versions of all 5e books, PDF files, Maps in huge sizes , artwork, tokens for characters, etc. Which you can use as support for your game sessions. You just need to know where to look for those contents. At the end of the day you don't need to pay $20.00 for a adventure content.
What I mean is, to use DDB as it is today I really don't see any big deal. With a little effort we can have the same result using available material through the Internet, playing with friends for much much less money.
I have all 5e books (as well as most of the books for 3.5 and 4.0) because I like to handle the printed version (and also I am "old school"). Paying the subscription and buying digital content from DDB to use as a "support" during my sessions is really frustrating to me (once I already do this for a long time using other materials).
I was expecting much more in terms of dynamics and game play from WoTC and I don't mean the job/project they did is not valuable. On the contrary, I think WoTC did a huge project and it seems promising but unfortunately It was a disappointment for me, which I prefer not recommending to anyone.
I already spent money buying material here and that is not going to change anything, I just..... really expected something more from DDB.
Maybe I will try playing with my friends using a video call, just to have the feeling that I paid for something cool, because my group can do basically the same without using DDB.
And maybe after trying I can have a different opinion and realize that the DDB system is .... good.
Anyway, I thank you guys again for the time and attention replaying my thread. People in the forum always are very helpful.
I use DDB as an aid. Those monster listings are incredibly useful for me, and being able to store my creations somewhere other than my head is great, too.

It was also explained that this was not a game but a tool in a thread you started on July 29th, that it was only a game aid and not a virtual table top like Fantasy Grounds and Roll20.

This is a tool to help you run a table game. It is not a virtual table top, it appears that you have that now. It sucks that it wasn't more clear up front for the average user.
I do have a concern about one thing you said about people being able to get the 5e content digitally including the books. There is no way to legally get copies of the 5e content in a digital format except for those who are licensing the content (Beyond, Fantasy Grounds, and Roll20 right now, there might be one other I can't think of). Any other way of obtaining the material is illegal. I think Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds is more what you were looking for, They are Virtual Table-tops designed to allow people to gather digitally and play the game.
Beyond has said that they have very little interest in competing in this area and that adding such ability is very low on their priority list. There are many threads on this forum about the improvements and new features that they are developing. They are using the community feedback to build on the foundation they have built, much like WotC did with 5e and the beta testing.

Most of this is illegal content though. But you know that though, hence your phrasing of "you just need to know where to look" instead of just saying it. I'd also expect that some of those other services that aren't paying licensing fees to WotC to start getting C&Ds in the fairly near future.
Thanks for your time and attention. Nice to know that it was so useful for you.
As I said in the end of my comment, I will use DDB while trying a session with friends maybe through google hangout or Skype, I am not sure which one will be the favourite for everybody. Maybe after that I will have other opinion about this tool.
Thanks (again) for your your comment. I got it. I knew that was not a game like FG or R20 when you and other friends dedicated some time to contribute tomy thread.
I "guessed" that at least, the campaign, once created, would have some interface like a Facebook timeline where the group would see what the DM was sharing, such as the maps for encounters and other relevant events. Even if we use other resources, like Skype to get everybody together playing. That kind of resource, in my opinion, is not that much difficult to provide to the customer and any platform whether Win, Mac, mobile, etc., can use.
That kind of interaction is far from FG or R20 style. Anyway, I guessed wrongly or I just got high expectations or I did not get your explanation properly, and the system is what it is.
Just to finish my point, when looking at the digital content of LMoP, for instance, I can read the entire book and I can see the "maps" as they are shown on the pages, just pictures that when I click over them appear on my window in a small size. I can not use that as a decent map for an encounter for my players.
When I bought the LMoP digital content/book I expected to have everything within that content, such as a folder with the artwork for the characters, maybe a set of maps for the DM (with relevant information on it) and some "avatars" for the monsters that I could position them and move them on the maps in case of combat encounter, but as far as I see there is none of this. Actually, when you go to the Market place for that LMoP page you can see at the bottom that there is the option to buy the Compendium Content Only which says you can unlock the artwork, maps, cross-linking and tool tips. And the price is the same.
Well, I guessed those "items" would be included in the book/content when I bought it, but it seems they are not, because until now when I access my compendium tab and I look at my adventure LMoP I don't see none of those (I may be really dummy) and that also frustrates me a lot. I was just Gus-easing if I am playing using any video call resource and I want to show up, for instance, the crag maw hideout to my players I won't have any map to share on the screen with them unless that small JPEG that appears on my screen when I click on the map in the book.
Maybe I need to reach out the support to ask for help to understand what I should expect from the adventurer digital content once I can't see any maps, artworks and so on. Maybe I should have bought the Compendium Content Only instead (which means I "lost" my money on that purchase).
Now that I already bought LMoP, it is what it is and I will try to get some answers from the support.
For the map and artwork in general, right-click on the picture and open it in a new tab. The image there will be full size, high-res and with the link you share in the campaign notes.
Have you notice how awkward is this reply option when you have more than one comment in sequence? You hit reply, start writing the reply below the comment and when you finish instead of having the reply also in sequence, it appears away down at the end of the page.
Yes, my friend, because of a thread I posted before I got that DDB wasn't a VTT, however I was expecting just something a little more dynamic in terms of game play. My bad. I will try an "online" session with some friends using DDB and maybe I realize it is a good tool. Until now I have only my impressions before effectively, testing it and I may be "unfair" in my judgement.
However, I am still disappointed by the fact that when I bought LMoP, it seems I didn't get any of the artwork, maps and so on that is written in the Compendium Content Only. I will check that issue better tonight and I may find those items or I may be really disappointed by finding out that I bought something different than I was expecting.
About getting digital content through the Web, I can tell you that is possible without much problem. Although I am in my late 40's, I am back to the college and I see some of the "kids" getting (almost) everything from the web. Last term, me and my older son (who is the DM for our home brew campaign) did a "exhibition" RPG session in the college to promote our group to the Game Club. We played a short story from Call of Cthulhu system and we also said we play DnD. After we finished our adventure, one of the students, member of the game club, showed to us in his laptop a folder with a huge amount of content of DnD 5e (and 4.0, 3.5, 2.0, etc) in PDF, including all adventures and rule books, with maps, artwork.... You name it and that boy had it in his laptop.
I am no law enforcement guy nor I will lecture or discuss with someone about copyrights and such topics. However, I say that it is possible to get material from the Web, because I saw it.
Thanks for commenting to this thread. Yes, I do believe that most of that is illegal but people still get them somehow and as I wrote before I am not going to lecture or argue with someone about what she or he did by getting those contents.
Yes, you are right that I don't need to say explicitly that there are sites or people willing to share copyrighted material to understand that it is possible to get, for instance DnD books for free.
I consider myself an " old school guy" and I prefer to have the books printed on my hands when I read ad when I play. I have all 5e books (some of them I didn't even read yet) with me and still have PHB, MM and DMG from 3.5 and 4.0. And I am waiting my already pre-ordered Tomb of Annihilation on Sep 19 (my case).
Although still handling printed books (and I prefer that way), I decided to try the digital tool/way of playing DnD. I bought a standard subscription of FG 5 weeks ago (I didn't try yet) and I invested money on DDB.
Until now, as far as I can measure my actions, I did a bad investment. With time when I start using them more frequently, I may realize the contrary.
Hi my friends,
I really need some help here. I paid the Master tier, bought PHB, MM, VGM, and LMoP to start playing with friends. I created the campaign, sent the links with a message inviting all players and shared the contents.
4 players, all of them Champion (free)tier, came to my home, everybody brought laptops. We did the character sheets together, we tested several configurations (races, classes, skills, etc). Everything worked just fine; now it is time to finally play.
