I love D&D Beyond, and a lot of great work has been done here. I started buying the books, and have been a fan since very early on. I kept hoping to see more DM stuff on here. What I have access to as a DM is handy, BUT I still have to have a lot of other stuff. Dice. DM screen. My own notes. WHY isn't there a DM work space on here? Why can't I use my digital dice when I run a game? Yes, I know I can open one of my own characters and roll the dice from there, but then I have yet another tab open and during a game I tend to have many open already. I have years, and the better part of $700 invested on D&D Beyond, and I'm not going anywhere, BUT I would love to be able to join the digital revolution and run a game just using my laptop, or other device.
AS a DM it's really not possible to run a game from just my phone. In many ways D&D Beyond has required me to make room for my laptop behind my DM screen. I love having instant access to spells, and monsters and all. I don't think I could go back to running the game from the books. I love this whole concept. It would be amazing if I could condense a little.

Take a look at the D&D Beyond Feature Roadmap: https://trello.com/b/vIKxuEs8/dd-beyond-feature-roadmap
A DM Screen is listed under the "Upcoming" section. Just guessing, but we'll probably see it within the next 6 months-year.
Thanks! I had not seen this. I'm not sure why. This is great news. Looks like a lot of great stuff is coming.
