Specify Details for your campaign (see Table below for more information):
Setting | Definition | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Name | This sets your campaign folder. If you choose to make this game a public cloud game, it will show up in the list with this name. Pick something your players can easily locate.
| ||
Game Systems (Rulesets) | Choose a single ruleset. This tells Fantasy Grounds what sort of game you are playing. It adjusts the data types for items, NPCs, spells, etc. and controls the automation that will be available in your game. Most modules are created to work with a specific ruleset. | ||
Password | Set a password and give this out to your players. This is very important for publicly listed games if you still want to control who can log onto your game. | ||
GM Name | How you will be shown in the chat window within your game. The default is GM, but you can enter Dungeon Keeper, Crypt Keeper, or any other name you would like. | ||
Server Type | Cloud - A cloud-based server that bypasses the need for port forwarding. Also has a lobby showing hosted games | ||
Server List | Public - will display your game for other users to join | ||
Extensions | Extensions will update based on the ruleset you have selected. These may add additional functionality to your game or they may change the visual theme. |
