So I'm in a campaign as a player, and our DM pays for the master subscription and most of the books were bought by the players (two of us have like 4 or 5 each). However, I'm looking to start a campaign of my own as a DM with different players, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this.
If I get a master subscription, would my new players get access to all of our books, or just the ones I've bought?
If not, DMs, do you think access to the alpha combat tracker is worth the subscription? Otherwise I could either just have my DM from the other group make the campaign with his subscription, and/or I could add the other player who owns the other books in the campaign. I haven't used this site to DM before, so any opinions would be helpful.
So, with content sharing, if you have the master tier, it shares books from everyone in that campaign. IE if you're the only one with books, only those books would be shared.
But if your other friends are playing in that campaign, it will share their books. If they have the character slots, ask them to just toss a character in there if they're cool with that even if they're not playing in the game.
I do like the combat tracker, it is helpful, though I do use Roll20 which does have a combat tracker as well, but with the beyond20 add-on it ports everything over, and it's nice to just type in numbers to keep track of health and such instead of writing things down.
Downside of the tracker...it doesn't take magic items into consideration for how difficult an encounter is. So while the tracker might say it's deadly, well with x magic item it could be easy, and that also depends on the parties rolls as well.
