Player Side Compendiom Control/Filters

1725761724

There needs to be a way for players to disable their own content from appearing in the charactermancer in the games they play in where they are not the owner. It dose not even need to be game specific, an account setting to disable one’s own content would be fine; a content manager for my own content that I may hide or disable it. Another option would be an account setting to turn off my own content from coming up in another person’s game. I both play as a player and DM my own games for friends. I’ve bought a few books, like Deep Magic, that are not WotC properties that are not allowed by my DM but I use in some of the games I run. However, that content still shows up for me as a player. I understand that DMs can turn off content that they do not use, but when a DM has to be selective of when to share the compendium due to the sharing limit, it’s unreasonable to make them do extra work to red list books if I’m the one with the extra content   not allowed. I usually end up going to third party sites (as in not roll20) to create and level up my characters as I can’t trust the charactermancer to give the correct options when I play as a player. I’ve since stopped buying content from Roll20 because this has been such an issue. There are lots of 3 rd party books and adventures that I would love to get for my own games that I can’t because I can’t filter out my own content as a player. There is also the issue of the charactermancer becoming laggy and borderline unusable when all the extra, unfiltered, content tries to load. Please add compendium filters or an option to disable content as a player.

Yes. This is a confusing area. +1
UPDATE: In addition to the reasons mentioned above, it appears there is currently no way to distinguish where content is coming from in the new 2024 D&D character sheet and character creator. This makes creating characters even more difficult if you purchase 3rd party content that may not be allowed in a game.
+1, yes. I have the same problem.
