Booting players from the session.

I'm GMing a game of Only War with my friends. I have two players that wont leave the game after a session. (They always have the computer on and they stay on the campaign) Is there any way to just give them the boot temporarily so I can work on the campaign without fear of them lurking in on it?
Not directly; the best way to avoid this is to move the players (via the player ribbon) over to a landing page while you work on the important details on another page. Asking nicely also might work.
There used to be a way to "set players to offline." I haven't seen it in a while. I have two pick-up players that've been signed into one of my games for months now. I'm not sure how to get rid. They aren't there maliciously; it's like they're just stuck there. Any fixes?
I don't believe there is a way to remove players inside of a game. The closest thing possible is to Copy/Extend the campaign, and make sure to paste everything. You'll have the same players, maps, macros, tokens, handouts, everything. You should keep the previous campaign up in case it didn't save everything, but booting players from it and changing the name of the new campaign will mean noone will even notice what happened. However, this is runabout and a pain; it would work in Jones situation, but for you Trevor the best way is to just tell them it bothers you.

Create a "landing" or "OOC room" page Move "player page" ribbon to the OOC room If you need to see the page you're working on from a player's perspective, drag your name (from the bottom of the screen) to that page to utilize the "Split the Party" feature.

You can remove players from the Campaign Details webpage, by hovering over their icon and selectign Kick player. There should be a way to do this during a game, alas, but there isn't.
Doesn't that just kick them from the campaign entierly? I think he just wants to boot them from the Roll20 session.

ahhh sorry, I misunderstood. Yes that would boot them from the campaign entirely.
Yeah I have a random BS page that I move everyone to inbetween sessions, it's complete with tokens of all PC and important NPCs and a Most Valliant Character spot... ...I dunno, better than a blank page for people to draw crude penises.

As others have said, just put them on a blank page with 1 square. Or even half a square.

Then again, I have a note on that map encouraging my players to draw what they will on that page, so... /shrug
