I'm a new DM and i've been using Fantasy Grounds to run our campaign. Since i already have all the three major books purchased on FG i was thinking about using Beyond to hurry up character creation and controlling on face-to-face games for my players. Any chance for us to create a character in Beyond and export to FG, since both of them are official sources? :)
...the future holds encounter and monster builders, combat/ initiative tracker, integrations with other licensed partners, all kinds of cool streaming stuff and the list goes on. I don't want to give the entire list here because the roadmap will be informed and prioritized based on what players want.
For me, the key takeaway from what's been said before is that the D&D Beyond team are dedicated to creating the functionality and content that the community want/need, rather than having a fixed plan.
I ditto any and all interaction with FG as possible. At a minimum, there's got to be a way to EASILY swap characters back and forth.
From there, anything at all that you can do to integrate the campaign management directly with FG would be a godsend. I've actually given up on trying to learn how to use RealmWorks in hopes that you will do this.
As an aside, I'll mention that I ran my game last night on FG and had DDB on another screen and it was very handy to quickly look up monsters and items and spells; even though it was not directly within FG, it was a little easier in the end.

Hey there,

That would be great! I hope that gets worked out.

D&D Beyond FoundersNo promises, but it's possible (I highlighted in bold the relevant phrase)!

I would love this integration.
