So I am starting a campaign a campaign at home with my 2 kids (9 and 7). I want to use dnd beyond but I do not want them to have their seperate accounts. Can we create all the characters in one account and they just login using their laptops concurrently? Also would I be able to put the map on my laptop in the middle of the table?
Basically can I log into the account with 3 different laptops because I really don't want my kids creating accounts. If not, I'll go buy the physical copy of the campaign.
You can log into D&D Beyond on multiple devices at once - I often am using it on my phone, a tablet, and a computer at the same time, and it has never been an issue.
I think the main thing for your purposes can be found in Paragraph 1.5 of the Terms and Conditions - it specifically notes that, for kids under the age of 13 in the US, or 16 internationally, they are not allowed to make their own account, but “parents or guardians are more than welcome to sign up on their own.” [REDACTED]
nice... im assuming i can also use the maps from the campaigns too?
I do not know, as I have never spent much time fiddling with the maps function. Might be something to experiment a bit with before trying in an actual game.

If you've got a DM tier subscription, and you own adventures that they've implemented the maps for, you can use them in the Maps tool. Open a second tab in spectator mode on a TV or monitor, so you can show them with fog of war working.
