Welcome
Campaign Theater is currently in Public Beta! We invite you to dive in, try things out, and share your feedback with us. As you may notice along the way, everything is steadily evolving, and we have an extensive roadmap ahead of us. Bug Reports and User Data Bugs are sure to exist in these initial stages, and we ask that you report them as you encounter them so our team can address these issues as swiftly as possible. While we will do our best to preserve any data you create as the Beta progresses, that may not always be possible, so please be mindful of this as you explore. Getting Started Before you start your adventure, please take a few minutes to review the Campaign Theater Primer, which provides a basic overview of all the new features and the many more yet to come.
There are so many new features and changes that are part of Campaign Theater that I'm not even going to attempt to include them all here. The items below are only changes to the parts of the app you're already familiar with. -Joe Client Changes and Improvements

"A copy of the character will also remain within the campaign for potential use as an NPC, at the GMs desecration."
I think you mean 'discretion' there, as much as some players might prefer the current word... I also see one big complication here: the system always and automatically uses your username and publicly displays it to all people connected to a campaign, and usernames can't be changed. This is probably fine for in-person play, but it makes it less than useful for online play, because it can't be used in any semi-anonymous context without potentially exposing personal info.

This covers the privacy use case, and also covers utility purposes for name changes like Discord has, where it's pretty common to see a game group use names like "Jim (GM)" or "Bob (Darkbad Murderkill)" so it's always obvious at a glance who's playing who regardless of context.

Are all players going to need to purchase HLO to be able to make use of this campaign theatre?

We are working on a group license that will make party play easier.

Hopefully it will be soon. I have been working with my players to create their characters on my account and giving them the PDF to use. That way they benefit from all the add-ons. Until most can log in with their own accounts (some still have demo accounts) then we can't make use of this.
