I'm loving the new Twitch extension, it works beautifully and I'm sure it'll only improve with age. Are there any plans perchance of integrating with Discord? My group play online and could do with something very similar to the Twitch extension but that doesn't require streaming!
Cheers, Luke

I used that avrae bot myself, and it does work rather well. I haven't explored it's full potential, but after playing around with it for a bit it seemed pretty intuitive and easy to use.
Yeah I don't bother to use it for initiative tracking but it's great for rolls since it remembers all the players' modifiers and stuff. And you can look up spells really easily, etc. It's pretty great.

No one seems to have mentioned that there's an official discord bot coming, that will potentially/eventually have account level integration so that it'll be able to give you non-SRD content as well.
@Stormknight - The Discord only has a Welcome channel, which is locked, and no mention of the Discord bot. Not terribly useful in its current state. I take it that the link your provided doesn't grant "member" status?

The Welcome channel has our rules and guidelines when participating in the forums. The last line gives instructions on how to accept those rules and join the server as a member! Once you are in you can play with the D&D Beyond Bot in the #ddbbot-commands channel!

Is there a plan to make the bot available for private servers as well?

Eventually. In its current format, I don't see why they couldn't just open it up to invites right now though. They're also going to somehow make it tie-in to your DDB account so that you get access to whatever content you own on DDB through it.

Good afternoon (in New Zealand) DDB team!

I would love to be able to have my player's characters in the corner of their video windows with them expandable similarly to the twitch integration.
Maybe I'll try to rig it up with a tampermonkey script if I have some time later.
