Initiative Is Rolled.

1. Sign in and open the Campaigns tab.
2. Enter a name in the New campaign name field.
3. Select Create, then choose the new campaign from your Campaign Library.

1. Select the campaign and open the Party tab.
2. Select + Character. If the party is empty, use Add your first character.
3. The Character Settings panel opens automatically. Paste a public D&D Beyond link and sync it, or enter the character information manually.
4. Select Save character.

Yes. In Character Settings, use the Manual Fallback fields for the character's name, ancestry, class, hit points, Armor Class, level, ability scores, death saves, and other available values. You can also enter temporary hit points and conditions manually.

A public D&D Beyond link is optional. Linking one simply makes it easier to refresh supported character information.

Select the current campaign name near the top of the Studio and choose another campaign from the menu. You can also open Campaigns and select a campaign tile from the Campaign Library.

The top navigation contains Party, Insights, Encounters, Campaigns, Share, and Settings. Pro also adds Session Review. The Dice Roller and Initiative Tracker open from their buttons on the Party page.

1. On the Party page, open the character's settings.
2. Paste the public character URL into D&D Beyond public link.
3. Select Sync public sheet.
4. Review the imported information and select Save character.

The character sheet must be publicly shared. Campaign Command never asks for D&D Beyond credentials and does not bypass account or entitlement controls.

Campaign Command can save supported character details such as name, ancestry, classes and levels, hit points, temporary hit points, Armor Class, ability scores, saving throws, skills, senses, proficiencies, spell names and slots, selected limited-use resources, conditions, exhaustion, and death saves.

It does not import D&D Beyond portraits, full descriptions, rules text, sourcebook text, or the complete source response.

Use Sync public sheet inside one character's settings to refresh only that character. Use Sync all at the top of the Party page to refresh every linked character in the active campaign.

The manual synchronization cooldown protects the upstream character service and prevents unnecessary repeat requests. Wait for the time stated in the notification, then try again. The saved character information remains available while you wait.

1. Sync the public character sheet so supported abilities are available.
2. Open Character Settings and find Panel Abilities.
3. Select the limited-use abilities you want displayed.
4. Select Save character.

Newly discovered abilities are hidden by default until the DM chooses them.

Open Character Settings, make the change in the available manual fields, and select Save character. Death-save fields appear when current hit points are zero. A future successful public-sheet synchronization can replace manual values that also come from the linked sheet.

Yes. Open Character Settings and upload artwork you created or have permission to use under Custom character art. Campaign Command does not import or reuse D&D Beyond character portraits.

1. Open the Party tab and select Initiative Tracker.
2. Use + Party to select party members. Enter final initiative totals manually or choose a roll mode and select Roll selected.
3. Use + NPC or Creature for enemies, allies, or grouped creatures. Enter a name, initiative, optional modifier, group size, and reminder.
4. Drag turns or use the arrow buttons to settle ties and special ordering.
5. Select Begin Encounter.

After the encounter begins, use Next Turn to advance or Previous to move back. You can also use Set turn on a specific row when the order needs to jump directly to that combatant.

The current round updates as the tracker wraps through the order. On Pro, linked and round-based Duration Counters also move forward or backward with the tracker.

When the Pro counter is linked to a caster in the turn order, it ticks after that caster's turn. If the caster is already concentrating, Campaign Command asks you to confirm before adding another linked concentration effect.

Yes, with Pro. In the Duration Counter form, select targets from the current turn order or enter a custom target and press Enter. Remove a target with the × on its label.

Campaign Command warns you that an active linked Duration Counter still exists. Choose Keep concentrating to cancel the change, or End concentration anyway to turn concentration off while leaving the counter active.

Use the minus or plus controls beside the active counter to change its remaining rounds. Use × to remove it. If it is a linked concentration counter, removing it also updates the linked caster's concentration state.

While a Hidden creature takes its turn, the player-facing tracker remains on the last visible combatant. It moves to the next visible combatant only after the DM advances past the Hidden turn.

1. Open Encounters and select + New Encounter.
2. Name the encounter, add private notes, choose how party initiative should be handled, and add each NPC or creature.
3. Enter or roll initiative, set group size and reminders, then save the encounter.
4. During play, open the Initiative Tracker and select Load Encounter.
5. Choose Add to tracker or Replace tracker.

Add to tracker keeps the current turn order and adds the prepared encounter's available entries. Replace tracker clears the current order, timers, and Duration Counters before loading the prepared encounter.

Free includes party and custom turns, rolled or manual initiative, ordering, previous and next turns, a round counter, and saved active encounter state. Pro adds combat and turn timers, Duration Counters, fixed initiative counts, advanced creature visibility, player-facing initiative, and a separate pop-out tracker window.

1. Select the campaign and open Share.
2. Turn Sharing is on.
3. Select Copy link to send the URL, or Open shared display to open it on another screen.

No. Anyone with an active link can open the read-only display without signing in. Treat the link as shareable information and send it only to people who should see that campaign view.

No. Shared displays receive only Campaign Command's saved copy. They cannot contact D&D Beyond or start a manual or automatic synchronization request.

Open Share. Turn sharing off to make the selected link private without deleting the campaign. Select Replace share link when you want every copy of the old URL to stop working immediately. The former URL then shows Campaign Command's invalid-link screen.

No. A Hidden creature creates no player-facing indication. The public tracker remains on the last visible turn until the DM advances to the next visible combatant.

Insights use character information already saved in Campaign Command and do not make an additional D&D Beyond request.

Open the Dice Roller from the Party page, leave Private to DM selected, choose the dice and modifier, and roll. Private results stay in the current DM browser session. Display Settings control how many result cards remain visible and when they disappear.

Session Review is a Pro feature. On the Party page, select Start Session, optionally enter a title, and confirm. While the session is active, use + Quick Note to save private categorized notes. Select End Session, then End and Review when play is finished.

While a session is active, Campaign Command builds a private timeline from changes to saved hit points, temporary hit points, spell slots, limited-use resources, conditions, concentration, death saves, and combat timing. It also keeps the DM's Quick Notes. This tracking uses saved Campaign Command data and does not create extra D&D Beyond reads.

Open Settings, find Campaign Theme, and choose one of the standard themes. Changes preview immediately.

With Pro, adjust the custom appearance, optionally upload an authorized backdrop, enter a name under Saved custom themes, and select Save current theme. A saved preset can then be applied, updated from the current campaign, or deleted. Pro supports up to twelve saved custom theme presets.

No. Free is a continuing plan with core campaign tools. It includes three campaigns, eight characters per campaign, one shared display link, one prepared encounter per campaign, manual concentration, a private Dice Roller, basic Party Insights, and Initiative Tracker Lite.

The planned launch price is $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a 30-day free trial. Paid subscriptions are not yet available during private development. Any applicable taxes and final checkout terms will be shown before purchase.

Campaign Command does not intentionally delete saved campaign or character data solely because Pro ends. Pro-only tools become unavailable, and you may be unable to create more items until your usage is within Free limits. Existing extra records can still be reduced through the appropriate management controls.

No. Deleting an item from Campaign Command removes the saved Campaign Command copy and related app data. It does not delete, edit, or otherwise modify the character or account in D&D Beyond.

Delete all saved data removes campaigns, saved characters, uploads, and the per-user rate-limit record while retaining the minimal Campaign Command account link and Clerk login.

Delete account removes that saved data, the internal Campaign Command account link, and the Clerk sign-in account. Neither option deletes or modifies accounts held by Google, Discord, D&D Beyond, or other third parties.

No. Campaign Command is an independent, unofficial service and is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by Wizards of the Coast or D&D Beyond.
