Private handouts

If I have a handout and only add it to one players journal, and then hit the "show to players" button who will see it? Just the player with the journal entry or everyone?

You hit show it to players and all will see it.

Thats the quick answer. The long answer is that it basically creates an entry for all players just like the one you used to show it in one of the players journal. If you look in the drop down selection you see the all players tag for who can see it and it is the same in the edit / control section also.

Dustin, only the people who you have added to the handout will see it. Anyone not able to view the handout will not see it when you hit "show to players". - Gauss

Strange because it would do that in a game I had. I hit all players button and all the players could see it. I don't have that game board anymore and I haven't needed to do that in any other game. If Gauss says it doesn't then it doesn't.

Metroknight , I tested it last night to confirm. Perhaps what you dealt with was a bug or all users had been selected. - Gauss

It's no big deal. It was in first board I made almost 6 months ago so it was probably a bug.
