Created a campaign (since I have the Master Subscription and all the content), Can I make another user, the DM? This is my first campaign, so be gentle. I could not sift through the posts to find an answer on this. Thanks!

To be honest, is the Master Subscription really tied to the DM? There really isn't anything 'DM-y' about it. If the person with the MS has enabled sharing, then everybody invited to the campaign has access to everything that the MS has unlocked. I would think that anybody in that campaign could be the DM in your games. D&D: Beyond really isn't a campaign manager yet, where the DM would have stuff hidden from the players.

Well, in the campaign page you have the DM Notes (Private) which are effectively hidden from the players, so who created the campaign indeed changes what they can do with it and what can be seen/hidden. Furthermore, I think that only the owner of the campaign can add "pre-gen" characters. I agree, though, that the Master Subscription tier does not necessarily tie into that person being the DM.

We encountered the same thing. The biggest issue is that if the DM did not create the campaign, they cannot View the character sheets. This is something that is in the process of being changed, but currently, that is how it is. Have the DM create a campaign and have everyone move their characters over to that campaign and then the Master Tier subscriber shares content to the campaign (which is useful because the content sharer does not have to be the DM).

Not yet, but if that user creates the campaign, you can still enable sharing once you've joined it.

Ah. Good to know. Thanks for the info.
