Creators and GMs

1452979006

Edited 1452979032
Being a pro-member I cannot use dynamic lighting and such in a game created by a free member. The question I have, is if I create game and make someone else the GM can they use those features (even if they are a free member)? Furthermore, can there can be multiple GMs on a game? My close friend and I are working on our own roleplaying system, and we have plans to integrate my homebrew fantasy world into this new system. I have created a game which gives access to all the lore on my fantasy world and everything and I was hoping to possibly use this page to integrate the rules of our new system when we get around to testing it. My friend was hoping to be able to configure the abilities and such and build a universal in-game character sheet of sorts. If I were to make him a GM he would be able to add entries to the Journal which included all of our variables and modifiers, but I would also want to still have rights to add my own journal entries and edit and update my world lore?

Yes to all of the above. The Creator of a campaign is always considered a GM (i.e. cannot be demoted to a player). The Creator of a campaign can enter the app as a player via this URL: app.roll20.net/editor/setcampaign/ CAMPAIGN_ID /?desiredrole=player Roll20 Wiki said: The Game‘s Creator can hover over a Player‘s icon to manipulate the permissions for that Player . Promote to GM will grant that Player GM status in the Game, commonly called a co-GM . This is useful for jointly running a Game with someone else or if the Creator would like to become a Player in a Game they created. Promoting someone to GM may also be beneficial in helping another user with GM-level features and or solving Game issues. Promoted to GMs , have limited control over a Game : Cannot: Change the next game time display. Change the Game's description. Change the Game's settings options, such as the version of Character Sheet that is set, toggling public access, changing the background image, toggling character import, or list the game in Looking for Players. Delete the entire game. Kick or Remove Players . Clear the Chat Archive. A Co-GM will not have access to the original Game‘s Creator‘s image library, character journals, handouts, decks, rollable tables, and other games' pages, however those elements that are being used within the game are available to the Co-GM. Images that are being used within the games' pages can be manipulated by the Co-GM as long as they remain within the game editor. If the Co-GM removes any of these shared elements they will not be available unless the Game‘s Creator restores them to play. Can: Full access to all layers. Create a new map page. Put pictures and tokens to the tabletop from their image library. Assign and edit tokens. Add handouts, new characters, assign journals. Move the Players ribbon to different maps. Play music from the jukebox. Read GM whispers. Make macros and token actions and show or hide them from players. Control dynamic lighting settings if the Game‘s Creator is a Pro or Plus subscriber.
Well that covers it. Thank you so much = )
