I've just noticed some named characters are viewable in the 'Monsters' page and it led me to question what control DM's have, if any, to ensure their players aren't just looking at monster stats in game?
Has anyone seen any more information, or an answer, to this?
While I'd like to think most players wouldn't, I'm sure it might prove a problem for some groups.
Is there any way to restrict what content is shared, e.g. Which books, races, etc?
Is there any way to hide things from search results? E.g. If I buy an OotA and my girlfriend will be DMing, I don't want necessarily to see it show up in my searches. Or is the only way round that toforgo the Legendary bundle and let her buy that book?
We have thought about building in the capability to allow the campaign members to decide what all content should be cross-shared. Like an opt-out by source ability. However, something like that would not be in before launch.
And if I'm DMing, will I be able to disable any material, including Basic Rules material?
We have heard this feedback and will likely include whitelisting sources in the future. It will not be in at launch.
This would be the same as having all the physical books at the table and letting the DM dictate to players what is or isn't allowed - for now, it requires table enforcement.
Not yet - Would be your answer. At this time players will be able to browse and read everything at their leisure.
Honestly it seems like a complicated process. As a DM myself, I'd never want to join a game that would limit the content I see in DDB (you're able to join/create multiple campaigns). I'd suggest using it sparingly if someone did decide to use that feature.

Yes, agreed.
I'm sure it's a huge task but maybe something like an 'in game' function that closes off access to the MM while in game.
As discussed before, though, I imagine it will be down to each group to ensure no players risk the enjoyment of others by 'cheating'.
The option has always been there in paper format, and none of it stops the more studious players memorising stuff away from the table, of course.
I apologise if this was covered before.

Thanks @subsistcyber - I saw this article earlier but wasn't sure whether it covered MM content too.
Cheers.

Just thinking out loud more than anything else. :-)
