Changing whisper GM on sheets after creating game?

I want to change all of them at once without having to open each one and change them. Can this be done? Thanks for any help.

Hi Amy!


Here are the step-by-step instructions i give in cases like these. See if these help:

Note that the whisper settings are attached to each individual sheet, there is no actual game setting. These instructions are for changing the defaults for all the character sheets in the game, then applying the settings to all existing sheets. Note that this will also change your PC sheets - you will have to manually change them to a different setting if one is preferred.


Here are the ways to toggle this behavior:


Always Whisper

  1. Go to the Campaign Settings Page
  2. Choose "Always Whisper Rolls" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings
  3. Save
  4. Load your game
  5. Go to the settings tab on the right and look under Miscellaneous, where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it.
  6. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.

Never Whisper

There's a bug in the game settings that doesn't recognize "Never Whisper Rolls", possibly because it is trying to write a blank value. The solution is to use Whisper Toggle. The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show.

  1. Go to the Campaign Settings Page
  2. Choose "Whisper Toggle" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings
  3. Save
  4. Load your game
  5. Go to the settings tab on the right and look under Miscellaneous, where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it.
  6. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.

Query Whisper

The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show by default unless you choose otherwise.

  1. Go to the Campaign Settings Page
  2. Choose "Query Whisper" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings
  3. Save
  4. Load your game
  5. Go to the settings tab on the right and look under Miscellaneous, where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it.
  6. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for your help.
