D&D Beyond DM-Screen & Spell List Manager

This extension has been a great addition to my in-person and online games for the last 16 months. Alas, the latest update to DDB has caused it to stop working. I do hope the creator(s) tweak it to accommodate the latest API as it's a GREAT help to us DM's. Nonetheless, THANK YOU for the last 16 months getting to use this!

Very nice

I have no issues with the DM Screen popping up when i click the button in D&D Beyond but the problem i am having is customizing it. I have tried messing around with it for a few hours, looking up tutorials on youtube and even searching reddit but cant seem to find any information about it. I love the idea and it seems like it could be a very useful tool, as I currently have to run my games online, but just cant seem to figure out how to get the most use out of this online tool.

Hi Swampthing 870, you can customize the data inside the table if you open the character in a new tab and then click on the extension-symbol in the top right of chrome (sometimes it is hidden inside the bar menu). Then you can use CSS-Selectors to select the attributes you want. Or more compfortable, you can use the [S]-Button to select the element you want to display. After your customization, you have to close and reopen already open DM-Screens. I hope that this helps. If I find the time, I will do a quick video and link it in the description. For the moment, there is a small explanation inside the description. If you have any questions left, feel free to ask via the support option of the chrome webstore ;)

Doesn't work. I've added and re-added and it just doesn't do anything. Not sure what the issue is, but not finding any documentation to help.

I'm sorry to hear that! In order to fix it, I need to know your chrome version. And also if you use some extensions to blocj things like uMatrix or specific adBlockers. Since it is working for me, I need the information to recreate the bug. Thanks in advance!

Non-functional as of right now. Clicking the DM screen button shows an emptywhite screen with the table in which the names of the player characters are supposed to appear, but it stays fully white. Nothing is clickable. The "Race & Class" part of the table is also called "Rasse & Klasse", which I'm sure is just a small mistake, but I did want to point out.

Hi, I've found and fixed a bug in which it was only working when you are the DM. Now it should also work if you are only a player. I hope that fixes your problem.

This DM screen is a really good tool. It's pretty easily customizable, which is great. It's not the best looking, but that's not a problem for me. I'm still getting used to it, but it seems like there are a couple of improvements that would get it that extra star, such as being able to sort the rows based on a given column (or at least manually reorder them), altering the size of each text cell or allowing text wrap/shrink-to-fit, and an auto-refresh option (for hit point monitoring).
