I am new to both D&D and D&D Beyond, but enthusiastic. I am trying to build an encounter for my kids and I to learn how to play (we are using the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign from the Starter Set). I was able to add four goblins for the ambush, but I can't see how to add any player characters. Both my kids and I have created our characters, but I'm not seeing how I can import them into the encounter.
The characters need to be in a campaign. Then in the encounter builder, you select that campaign from the 'Manage Characters' menu. This will link the campaign to the encounter so that when you run it, your players characters appear in the initiative
