Add Players#
Players need an account set up in your World to log in. You'll also use this account to give them ownership of their Actor and other things like Journal Entries and Items.
Create Player Accounts#
- Change to the Settings tab of the right-hand sidebar.
- Click on the User Management button.
- Press the Create Additional User button.
- Enter a username.
- Set an optional password.
- Select their User Role.
- Press the Save and Return button.
Give Players Ownership of an Actor#
Your players should own at least one Actor so they can interact with their character sheet and their Token on a Scene.
- Find an Actor you want to give one of your Player's ownership of and right click on it.
- Select Configure Ownership.
- Update the dropdown with the correct ownership option:
- Default: The configured default
- None: Can not see in the sidebar or open their character sheet
- Limited: Can see in the sidebar, open its character sheet, but has a limited view of it.
- Observer: Can see in the sidebar, open its character sheet, but can not change it.
- Owner: Can see in the sidebar, open its character sheet, and make changes.
Invite Players to Your World#
- Change to the Settings tab of the right-hand sidebar.
- Click on the Invitation Links button.
- Click on the Local Network or Internet invitation link to copy it and send it to your players.
- Choose the Local Network link if your players are on the same wireless network as you, for example, if they're all at your house for an in-person game.
- Choose the Internet link if your players are not on the same wireless network as you and you're playing remotely.
What to do if you see a red X next to your Internet link:
If there's a red X next to your Internet link that means your network is not currently open and your players will not be able to connect to your game. You may need to port forward or make other changes for this to work. You can get assistance on this setup in the Foundry VTT Discord's #install-and-connection channel.
