The In-Game Calendar

[mattcolville]

The in-game calendar function seems very useful, I was able to create a calendar for my world, set the current date, add a log entry.

But there doesn't appear to be any way for the players to add log entries. Which is basically what I want a calendar for. I want the players to be able to record what they did on which days, I already have enough work being the GM. :D

I presume there's a way to do this, I just can't figure it out/

Have them enter it in a note then just paste it.

Basically it's a GM tool.

i think it is a common request though :)
i too would like to see the players be able to track info in here.

Ugh. Well, that's less useful for me, but it's free!

There's a subtler issue. I don't like giving GM-summaries of the players' actions. Because there's a huge difference between how I perceive what happened, and how they perceive it.

As the GM, if I write down what happened, it makes my perspective more real, more official.

When they write it down, *I* learn how they perceived it and that changes my perception.

Then here's your solution. Have each player write their own journal entry for each day (in a note) and copy/paste them together into the calendar.

Add it to the FG wish list if it isn't there already. Perhaps with an option to enable/disable player access for those GMs who don't want the players adding entries.

Yeah I mean, obviously players can just write things down. It just seems an obvious good to me to let players keep their own journals in the calendar and mark them as share/private so other players can see them.

Fantasy Grounds allows you to run asymmetrical, asynchronous games very easily and in situations like this, the calendar and the journal become very useful.

I will do so!

He means in the player's notebook in FG. You do realize that every player has their own notebook in FG, right? The GM can see all of them, and also share them to other players.

Yes, I realize that. Thanks.
