Paragon Campaign Dashboard: Account Sync, Sharable Dashboards and more!

Hello GMs,

I hope you all have been having a peaceful 2021 so far. Here's what's new with Paragon Campaign Dashboard this month:

Account Sync is now enabled if you're signed in with Patreon. It's a bit experimental, so let me know if you notice any weird issues.

If a Dashboard has more than one Rollable Table card, you'll see a Roll All Tables button along the top bar for one-click convenience.

Finally, you can now Share your Dashboards for use by other GMs. This is different from the Player View, as the a Shared Dashboard isn't interactable per se, but it can be copied as a new Dashboard by anyone with the link. This is useful if you put together a dashboard with a bunch of random tables, for example. Please use this new feature to share your Dashboards on social media to help attract new users!

ahhhh ok, that explains a lot! Thanks for the quick reply, loving the dashboard BTW

The view-only features are available to all users including free users, though.

Ah, I should have been more specific, interactable Player View features currently require Epic Initiative.

Evan Bailey

I think I must be doing something really dumb, but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to make a card "Interactable in player view"? I presume there is a right click somewhere that I can't see!!!!

Great I will give this a bash, really looking forward to using this for our new campaign. Gonna be great for sharing Call of Cthulhu resources with players.

If the card is configured for "Interactable in player view" then they can roll dice on it. At some point I'll have players on the player view provide a name or something to associate with dice rolls, etc.

Starting a CoC campaign this Monday looking forward to using PCD. One question, I as the Keeper/GM can do a dice roll and this can be seen in the player view. But can the player initiate a dice roll? Thanks Phil

Hi @Evan Bailey it seems the sync issues are (at leas for me) still present. Would you happen to have a status-update?

well, nothing new thk for answer. All the stuff i added in my library disappear when i log out. So i need to redo all thestuff again and again.. so now i just use this app for initiave! Peace

Evan, I noticed that the dashboard URL for player view and the shared DM view use the same random code. This means that if I give my players their URL (ie: https://paragondashboard.com/p/4uu1ybnh) they can change the 'p' to a 'd' and see the whole dashboard (ie: https://paragondashboard.com/d/4uu1ybnh). I like both of these features, but if they share the same random URL part, then players can see the secrets pretty easily.

There are two ways to add a combatant that I can see. One is the Lightening Bolt icon that's called Quick Add Combatant which just adds Name, HP, AC, and Initiative. This does not add it to the library. If you click the + Add New, you get a full statblock and this adds it to the library.

Mathew DeGauven

This got me too. It took me a few tries to figure that out. Maybe a pop up tip the first time someone tries to delete something would be helpful?

Mathew DeGauven

Hi Evan, I see what I've done wrong. I thought the header portion was optional. Once I added the dashes row to create a header it resolves into a table.

Mathew DeGauven

Tables are supported in Markdown- I was able to get the example table here to work. https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#tables What's the syntax you're using that's not working?

Evan Bailey

I'm trying to create a table in an article card, but the markdown doesn't seem to convert tables. Is this going to be supported in the future? I have a lot of tables.

Mathew DeGauven

hi, thk for answer! I dunno if it help, but i tried to create an Hobgobelin Captain, and he's on my current session, but if i close or reset web historic, then my new monster is gone. I need to remake it again :P. Maybe i dont understand what you mean by statblock? Sorry for bad english btw. I' would love to use the Combat Tracker correctly :)

thank you, @evan, for your hard work. if you need me to debug / test, just holler!

my bad, thanks for the explanation and what a good idea to prevent accidental deletion!

Hi Maxime, any Statblock that was created through the 'Add New' button in the Library tab will be saved to your library. Does that help?

Evan Bailey

Thanks for the repro steps- I'm aware that there are some sync issues, I'll take a stab at it soon.

Evan Bailey

Delete buttons are click-and-hold, that might be the issue.

Evan Bailey

a way*

Hi,im new to Combat tracker.. i just wondering if is there a wat to keep saved the new monster we created?

and sync doesn't seem to work for me either... Logged in with Firefox, created a new article Logged in with Edge, nothings to see here, please disperse :)

The delete buttons don't seem to work, - not in firefox nor in Edge (chromium)

No way to force a sync right now. Thanks for the note!

Evan Bailey

Thank you for taking a look. Anyway I can force a sync? It's not doing it on its own.
