The name of your macOS user account and the name of your home folder must both be the same. Changing these names does not change or reset the password of your user account.
Because doing this incorrectly could damage your account and prevent you from logging in, you should back up your important data before proceeding.
First rename the home folder
- Log out of the account you're renaming, then log in to a different administrator account. (If you don't have another administrator account, you can create one in Users & Groups preferences.)
- Open the Users folder on the startup disk. It contains the home folder for each user. To get there, you can choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar, then enter
/Users
. - Rename the user's home folder without using any spaces in the new name. You'll be prompted to enter the administrator name and password that you used to log in. If you're using file sharing to share the home folder, you won't be able to rename it until you stop sharing the folder.
Then rename the account
While still logged out of the account you're renaming, follow these additional steps:
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
- Click , then enter the administrator name and password that you used to log in.
- From the list of users on the left, Control-click the user you're renaming, then choose Advanced Options.
- Change the “Account name” field to match the new name of the home folder. It should have no spaces.
- The account name also appears in the “Home directory” field, after
/Users/
. Change that account name to match the new name of the home folder. - If you want to change the full name associated with your account, update the ”Full name” field as well. It can be any name, and you can use either the full name or the account name to log in to your Mac or make changes that require your name and password.
- Click OK, then restart your Mac.
- Log in to the renamed account, then verify that your old files and folders are visible and the account is working as expected.
Discord is a great service for building quick chat groups, having video chats with multiple people (I’ve even used it to record podcasts), and much more. DNDBeyond has changed the way some of my Dungeons and Dragons groups play the game by allowing us to build character sheets online, giving quick access to information we used to pause games to look up in books, act as an online dice roller for parties where we can all see the results (with buffs added in), and now integrate and stream that to Discord using the Avrae Discord bot.
I don’t think anything has changed the way we play Dungeons and Dragons more since the move from basic to 1st edition or the move to 5e. One thing though, the APIs for DNDBeyond and the Avrae bot keep evolving but there are some really basic game play elements that I can go through to help anyone new to the system get started.
First, we’ll use DNDBeyond to link our accounts. Here, go to DNDBeyond, hover over the account name and click Account.
From the account screen, locate Discord and click Link account. If logged in with the Discord app, when prompted click to Authorize.
Now, if using Avrae we need to make sure the names match. Notice the below screen, once added, we’ll see our discord name. The part before the # needs to be the same as the username in DNDBeyond.
It’s easier to change in Discord than DNDBeyond. If need be, go to Discord, use the Preferences then My Account. There’s an Edit button there to change it.
If it’s changed, use the Unlink button back in DNDBeyond and then re-add. This time, when prompted click Not You and then add it again. Otherwise it won’t update the username.
Once added, let’s add the character we’ll be playing in the Discord channel for the game. First let’s grab the URL for our character. Browse to the character and just copy the URL to the clipboard (e.g. Command-C or Control-C).
Now click into the “TEXT Channels” in the Discord channel and then enter !beyond followed by the URL from the web page (notice that the bang or ! character informs Discord that we’re running a command):
!beyond https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/KryptedCE...
Provided everything worked properly we then get prompted to load the character. Here, type yes.
The character is loaded. Now we can make changes on the character sheet and in Discord though. You know, like when you level up! So let’s look at our next command, updating the character. This is a hard one – to update from DNDBeyond to Discord, do !update.

!update
The next command to learn is help. We can do a help on any of the commands we’ll discuss, which include i, r, attack, check, cast, save, and g. That help screen will display any of the arguments or verbs for the command.
!help attack
Now, one of the most common things we use this bot for is battle. So let’s roll for initiative. To join in a battle let’s do !i for initiative and then use the join verb. Now, in the following I’m going to follow that up with adv which is short for advantage. We could also have done dis which is short for disadvantage:
!i join adv
Next, let’s do a basic dice roll. We could do this in DNDBeyond and if everything is set up right we’d just see the roll show up in Discord. But it’s good to know how to do a roll here as well. So the r is short for roll and let’s say we want to roll 2 10 sided dice and then put a +4 modifier. That would be:
!r 2d10 +4
Now let’s say the DM says do an athletics check. If the integration is working bidirectionally we should be able to just click the box in DNDBeyond that shows the modifier and it’ll do a dice roll there.
That would show up in Discord and indicate it was Rolled in <name of campaign>.
But let’s say we wanted to do the check in Discord without DNDBeyond. That would just be !check followed by the skill or attribute. So the athletics check would be:
!check athletics
Or let’s say we’re doing strength at a disadvantage, that might be:
!check STR DIS
Now to the fun stuff. We could look at DNDBeyond and see what options we have and even click on the buttons there to roll an attack roll. For that let’s say to hit we click on the +4 in the below screen or to roll that damage let’s say we click the 1d6+2.
If we did the results would appear automatically in Discord. We could also see what we can attack with using the attack command to see a list of options. That would be as follows:
!attack list
Let’s use the mace. Here we’ll follow that with a -t argument to identify the opponent (we should see those listed in their initiative as they joined the combat sequence and we’ll just use CU1 in the below example) and let’s say I can attack twice, so I’ll add “-rr 2” and let’s say I have advantage, so we’ll add adv to the end:
!attack Mace -t CU1 -rr 2 adv
So that’s attacking. Avrae will keep track if we’re blessed or poisoned or any of that, provided the -t was put in properly. Speaking of getting blessed, now let’s look at spell casting. First, let’s check out our spell book. That’s just !spellbook as follows:
!spellbook
Now let’s cast a spell. That command is cast and then the name of the spell in quotes. The spell will automatically cast at the lowest level available, but let’s say we have a particularly aggressive monk who keeps rushing into battle. I mean in 5e they are a bit of a tank so why not. To cure that monk, let’s cast cure wounds and let’s do it at level two by defining the -l and then an integer with the level number and then let’s identify the character (or target of the spell) using -t followed by the name in quotes:
Roll A Ball Adv Mac Os Catalina
!cast “cure wounds” -l 2 -t 'character name'
When it isn’t our turn we sometimes have to make a saving throw or save against a given attribute. That’s just the save command:
!save dexterity
Roll A Ball Adv Mac Os Pro
Whew, all that and we’re exhausted! Let’s take a long rest to get our spells back:
!game lr
Or a short rest using the shortened game to g
!g sr
And sometimes we might accidentally do something and need to fix it in Discord. Now, I think the easy way is to fix it on the character sheet and do a new !update but some specific game mechanics that can be done in the game include (using the !g command) to return spell slots:
!g ss 1 1
Or return hit points:
!g hp set 21
OK, so now we have those mechanics out of the way. We can then use a tool like owlbear rodeo or roll20 to do the virtual tabletop and apply fog of war (the virtual version of undrawn or covered up maps). I wrote this free little app to create super basic dungeons and dump them to the camera roll on an iPhone to generate quick and dirty maps: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/randomdungeongenerator/id1549919422
And so the modern Dungeons and Dragons toolkits abound! It’s great to have these new features and watch the tools evolve (more rapidly during a pandemic methinks). It’s also great to roll a real d20 on a real table and bust out 1st or 2nd edition books to argue about rules from time to time! But I do really enjoy the modern take of gaming. 🙂
