Campaign Options

image-20260211-213533.png

The Campaign Options window is available in the upper-right set of campaign tool buttons under the header TOOL. The Options window is used to control optional features within each ruleset.

Client options can be configured by either player or GM and only apply to that Fantasy Grounds instance. All other options are GM editable only, though they are visible to players.

Options can be adjusted by clicking on the option value, or using the small left and right arrows.

Additionally, each category can be expanded or collapsed individually to save space, or you can expand or collapse all sections at once with the + and - buttons in the lower-left corner of the Options window.
