Campaign-Manager Characters
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
In my campaigns I have 6-7 players, and most prefer to use D&DBeyond (which is fine), but I like using the WA campaign tools to keep track of events, character development changes within the world, etc among other things. However I've only been able to get 2 players to actually create their characters in the campaign, which limits my ability to keep things consistent. I'd like to be able to create characters for the campaign since my players won't. Being able to transfer those characters to another account if they decide to sign up would be a bonus but not necessary.How does this feature request address the current situation?
It allows me to keep track of the party, what happens to the players and anything in relation to the lore of the world even if we don't fully run the campaign within WA.Follow up
** Maybe what's needed here isn't a feature, but a UI addition. It's been pointed out that this is currently possible, in a non-obvious way. I was pointed to the codex and discord, however I had already read the codex AND done some searches before posting this suggestion. The codex for this area is maybe outdated or for a player perspective because the steps to follow didn't match what I see on my own dashboard. The main campaign PC screen includes a form to invite players to create their own PC's, but there is no direction or prompt on this screen to add characters to the campaign or create new ones.
The Team's Response
Thank you for noticing this - it is a support and UI issue which needs rehauling. We will be updating documentation for UI Update. Thank you!

on 2023-03-09 15:42When I play solo games, I use the campagin tools too, and this option will be just perfect for solo gaming as well.

on 2023-02-25 21:07That is already possible, including transferring the player character to another account if they do decide to sign up. Just create a RPG character and invite them into the campaign. Or just create a character article, create an NPC from that article and then promote the NPC to a PC. Check in with the Discord if you can't figure out how to do that or the documentation on the codex.
