A couple of Beginner questions

[LordEntrails]

Thanks for all the respondes.
I actually found a way to hide the icons... i clicked somewhere and it allowed me to turn things on and off... I’ll have to see if it remembers when I disconnect the player view.

"Library" button.

As for the map, we have a 32” tv laying flat in the table that the characters will put “real minis” on... i think it will be a case of making sure that they can see the whole room/area as we go...
I’d like to have a single “party token” and move that around... that might be handy for lighting type reveals.

If it doesn’t work no harm no foul, can always go back to displaying a map on a second monitor and they can draw it on the battle map manually.

Cheers

Have you looked into the extension for face to face games?

Yep.
I have it downloaded and installed, just need to give it a bit of a road test... luckily I have a bit of time before we actually start using it in anger.

I also have the weather one and the gm
Screen extension as well.

I was using maptools and realmworks but while maptools while great for basic operation and has some cool lighting effects etc, and realmworks is great for world building neither had published APS complete which we could use.... I just do t have time these days to spend weeks inputting things And tinkering with maps... hence my migration to FG for desktop play

A lot of people use FG this way, me included. You can see some photos in the thread LordEntrails references.

Are you referring to my GM screen extension? If so, can I ask how it looks on a screen larger than 21" or in resolutions higher than 1440x900, I am curious to know. You can drop me a PM or post it the extension thread, thanks
