I guess I need a cookie reaction so I can give out cookies to people.That's for @Christina to decide. But I assume winning the campaign would do wonders to the odds.

Alright, I need you folks to help me test the encounter system on DnDBeyond. I started an easy AF one with all the characters in that Dummy Campaign.
I'm assuming it'll ask you to roll for initiative before anything else, to put you in the order you'll go. If NOT there was an option to auto-roll the initiative so I guess I'd need to use that, or just have you roll on the forums and then manually enter it. But, see what it lets you do when you go into it now.
I have no idea if it'll just pop up in the campaign as is, or if I had to link to it somehow...

Also if any of you can screen-cap what you see on your end, that'll give me a better idea.

I tapped Initiative on my character screen and it rolled a 5.
Did it do anything?
Yeah, I can see your rolls coming through on my end. I think where I was expecting the rolls to automatically populate into the initiative order, it's more of a "I ask you to roll for initiative, then I plug it into the encounter UI" type thing. So you're doing everything from your characters sheet, rolling what's required in the moment, and there's not really a visible UI for the PARTY to see.
I don't know if it being on "your turn" changes anything, and if other people rolling dice in the meantime also comes through when it's not their initiative turn. I'd guess so.
Anyway, assuming your roll before that was an attack roll to see if you hit (a nat-20 would), give me a roll for damage and I'll see where it goes from here.

What do I do to roll for damage?
I'm a super DnD noob.

Yeah, I believe so. You rolled a custom die before with that d20, but I think in general if you're attacking you'd hit the "Hit/DC" one to see whether you landed your attack, then you'll hit the Damage to see what you deal.
So if you hit damage on one of your weapons, I should see that come through.

You sure did!

So it does seem to be all more or less manual for the running of the games, basically like the pencil & paper version. In an actual encounter I'd have to ask you who you're targetting, etc. but then I just add any damage you deal to the enemies and move it along to the next person in initiative order.
But you killed one of those dudes with your mom's phone number though, so good job!

Since I've seen all the other rolls coming through, I'm guessing it doesn't stop you rolling anything even if it's not your turn. It's sitting on Local right now, so if you can still roll things and I see them come through, I'll know to just work around that.
I'm also trying to work out if the dice plugin we have installed on the forum would work in practice, or if just using the stuff off the character sheet is the easiest way to go. I'm thinking the latter, since it does all the math automatically.
EDIT; I can also manually move to the next turn if someone doesn't respond, say within X time, so we can just agree on what's reasonable to expect someone to be able to get back to the campaign thread and take their action, otherwise they're assumed asleep and skipped.

Doesn't really seem to give me a good way to end the encounters, but this whole thing is still in beta, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I was so confused until I read the encounter again.But you killed one of those dudes with your mom's phone number though, so good job!

It's too bad I can't see the encounter.
I guess most stuff will be handled through here but then the actual dice rolling will be done on Beyond then?
Is that what we're thinking?

You roll from your character tab.I opened the app and I click on campaigns but I don’t see how to roll
Tap the spot that says initiative first.

Yeah I know, I was wondering why I only had unarmed as an option@shortkut
Looks right to me!
I assume when we actively play you only choose one attack type but I'll defer to our DMs there.

Did you figure it out? You have to go equip your specific weapons.Yeah I know, I was wondering why I only had unarmed as an option
TD

Are those special skills for your class?Eventually
I can’t figure out why I don’t see two-weapon fighting or sneak attack as actions to roll for
Check spells maybe from the red box dropdown instead of actions?
