What am I missing. I am trying to test out hosting a D&D 5e game to just test out things to make sure friends can access the game I host. I have the Unlimited License and the Core Class pak and Monster Pak. In following the instructions I found on the site, to host a game I should see an option on the Launcher to click on "Host a Game as a Gamemaster". I do not see anything like that. I've attached screenshots of the Launcher and Load Game screens.

Create a Campaign (or Load a Campaign) is how you host a game.

You would Create a Campaign - give it a name (without special characters), choose the 5e ruleset and hot Start.
Next time you would Load Campaign and choose this one.

Thanks damned. So there isn't a special button for "Host a Game as a Gamemaster". Maybe I was looking at some old doc. But now I see what you mean. If I load the campaign I'm hosting it at that point. Do You know is there a way to only permit players I want? Is there a way for me to control who can join like with a password? I'm still very new at this.
