So I host a game that my children also play. So one daughter plays on my lap top and I GM on a home office computer. Is it possible to have more than one FG account on my lap top, one for each computer user account? That way I can build my campaigns on the laptop, while the Mrs. uses her home office pooter. Also can I use multiple pooters for my account, using a thumbdrive location. That way I can work on my campaigns at work or home?

Sorry if this covered before, I found posts similar but not what I was asking.

I believe that you can have multiple FG accounts on one computer, because the license key and username are stored in the Registry. Which means if your daughter has a separate Windows/Computer account, they will have a different Registry.

It should be easy to test, create a separate Windows account on the laptop, start up FG and see if it remembers your license key and user account.

Thanks for the quick response, Lord Entrails. Turns out that I was letting it load the same App Directory location for both users, evidently that is bad. :( :rolleyes: Once I created new locations for my daughters account, things appear to be ok.

Ah, I did not think of that. Thanks for letting us know the solution.
