Character creation using Demo version

[unholyKrusader]

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before in the past - I had a look, but I couldn't find what I am after.

I am going to be running a D&D 5th ed game, and while I personally have an ultimate license, my players for the most part will be running off of the Demo version.

My question: How do players running the demo go about creating their characters for the campaign? Is it a case of I will need to create the characters and then give "ownership" to the players? Or are they able to create character's using the source materials I own - is this where the player loadable option for modules comes into play?

Thanks in advance for helping a FG Newbie out.

If you want the players to create characters using the DLC you own, then you need to have your FG up and running and have them connect to it. Often this is referred to a a session zero. You can have a specific time, or just say, "Hey, I will have FG up and running from this day to that day, just log in, rollup your characters etc"

If they don't cpnnect to you, then they can use manage characters to create a character, but they won't have access to any of the materials (I don't think the 5E SRD or Basic Rules are available to demo users) and will have to type up everything themselves.
