Run without hosting?

[markjlyon]

Is it possible to run/GM the game without having to be the host?

I have a friend stationed in Afghanistan that wants to host a game. He has no ability to route port 1802 (or any other port) to his machine.

How can I host the game, have everyone connect and then let him be the GM?

He doesn't have the bandwidth to VNC or RDP into a different machine.

If there isn't a way to do it, the devs should certainly add this simple feature. If any machine can host it would just be a simple matter to have the host decide who the GM will be.

Thanks

FG doesn't have a remote sever, so only the host can GM a game. Have him try Hamachi or some other VPN. If you run a voice server make sure someone other than him hosts it.

Remote hosting is not actually a simple feature with the current license structure of FG. You might want to add it to the FG wish list and vote on it if you think its important: https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/
