Browser connector for the DM Screen

Keep campaign information
in one working view.

The connector lets the Dungeon Master Campaign Console read supported D&D Beyond pages, import Roll20 initiative, relay local Compass dice requests, and apply reviewed notes or inventory updates.

Chrome Web Store review is pending. The public-test installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show an Unknown publisher warning. Choose the ZIP for manual setup without running an executable.

Limited Compass test: Connector 0.8.67 can carry only the dice text you see from the Loremaster's Compass desktop app to an open Roll20 chat over a local-only connection on this device (127.0.0.1). It never reads or writes the clipboard, polls only while a Roll20 chat box is on screen, and leaves every roll and result to Roll20. Other Compass-to-VTT features are coming soon. Do not enable the standalone Loremaster's Compass — Roll20 Bridge extension at the same time; running both can duplicate rolls and banners.

Supported features

A practical link between
the pages you already use.

The connector handles selected browser interactions while the DM Screen provides the working roster, reference pages, and session controls.
01

Character sheets

Import useful sheet details

Bring HP, AC, initiative, abilities, movement, vision, coins, equipped gear, attunement, conditions, and tagged DM notes into the party roster.
02

Reviewed updates

Stage changes before export

Prepare supported notes and inventory updates in the DM Screen, review the queue, and send them through the visible verified character-sheet workflow.
03

Combat order

Use Roll20 initiative and dice

Read the visible Roll20 Turn Order into the console, and optionally pass local Compass roll requests to Roll20 for native results.
04

Session tracking

Work from the DM Screen

Manage HP, conditions, notes, and encounter state in the console, then refresh or reconcile supported pages when appropriate.
05

Private homebrew

Build structured magic items

Compose item details, modifiers, conditions, charges, and attached spells, then create and verify the item privately before assigning it.

Basic workflow

Open, scan, use,
and reconcile.

Open each campaign overview once to save it in the DM Screen. Later read-only refreshes can use temporary inactive Chrome tabs that close after the requested read without switching your current page.

  • Refresh character cards before play or during a break.
  • Track damage, healing, conditions, effects, notes, coins, and equipment.
  • Bring the visible Roll20 Turn Order into the initiative tracker.
  • Review staged notes and inventory changes before export.
