Is there a help guide for how to use the ”my campaign ” option. I don't understand how to use it for running a campaign dice rolling player comments etc
Right now, it doesn’t do a whole lot. If you have a higher level subscription, you can share the content you’ve purchased with people you’ve invited to join your campaign. So you start a campaign, invite people to join it. They create a character for/in that campaign, and as long as you’ve toggled on “Content Sharing” (not defaulted to ‘on’) then they can build a character using the sourcebooks you’ve unlocked.
You can automatically populate the encounter builder and encounter trackers that are still being refined through testing here, with a party from a campaign. That’ll help you balance encounters and plan tough but winnable fights f you’re making it up as you go. And eventually track initiative and health through encounters when they get that fully functional.
you could also make notes in the campaign page for referring to later. Like what town you left them in. That someone is waiting on an order with the blacksmith. That last person the bard seduced is crazy and likely to form an obsession that could make her a fun villain down the road.
I know nothing about the dice roller. I’ve heard they’re working on it, but don’t plan to use it unless they build their own Virtual Tabletop into this website.
It's true, currently Roll20 feels like it has a stronger handle on helping DMs organize and control their campaigns, but I feel tbe book layout and organization is far superior on DDB (also? Better pricing). I'd either consider making use of shared Google Docs or dabbling with Roll20 for some of it's benefits. D&D Beyond has a LOT of cool stuff in the pipeline, but nobodies sure on the timing, so it's mostly eyes out amd ears up for the latest. I honestly feel bad as I wish Roll20 and D&D Beyond could partner up officially, but I know that's not going to happen.
There’s a newish Browser extension/add on called Beyond20 that makes clickable rolls that send straight to your Roll20 game from your DnDB character sheet. Only played one game with it. Could get smoother with more cooperation between DnDB character sheet changes or Beyond 20 button placement, but already so nice to be able to bypass Roll20’s Character Sheets, which aren’t my favorite to work, and click rolls from here.

Any help would be appreciated.
