One page, start to seat
When your DM sends you a join link, the invite page is now the only page you need. It shows the campaign, who called you, and who is already at the table — and right under that, two short steps on one card:
- Who you are. Make your account right there — name, email, password — or continue with Google, or sign in if you already have one. You stay on the invite.
- Who you bring. Pick one of your characters, or make someone new with just a name, class, level and starting gold. Already built them on D&D Beyond or on paper? Bring them in from there instead. Or join benched and bring a character later.
Then you go straight to the campaign, with a welcome waiting for you. Before this, the same trip sent you off to sign up, off again to make a character, and back each time — and twice you lost sight of the campaign you were joining.
Your starting gold, on the record
You set your own starting gold — whatever your DM told you to begin with. Nobody has to approve it first. Instead it goes on your Gold Ledger as "Starting gold", like any other coin that moves, and on the campaign's ledger too. Your DM can look it over whenever they like.
The long way still works exactly as before: the sign-up page and the Create a Character page are where they were, and Create a Character has the same starting gold field, recorded the same way.
Changes
- 2026-10-08 An invite sent to one person now works once: joining with its link, or accepting it, uses it up, and your DM sees it as accepted. A link that is used up or expired now says so in plain words and tells you to ask your DM for a new one. Shareable codes still work as many times as your DM sets.
- 2026-09-29 The invite page now does it all: make your account right there (or sign in), pick one of your characters or make one with a name, class, level and starting gold, and you go straight to the campaign. Your starting gold is yours to set — it shows on your Gold Ledger so your DM can check it. The Create a Character page got the same starting gold field.
- 2026-09-29 Planned from a recorded walk through the player’s first visit. Answering an invite sent you away to sign up, away again to make a character, and back each time — twice you lost sight of the campaign you were joining.
