Stupid Newbie Questions

I am new. I am ignorant. Sorry. But so far I am loving this tool. Is there a place (within the wiki?) that is a FAQ? I am not finding what I am looking for with searches. For now, I have 1 simple question. How do I change the portrait image that represents me in the lower left of the tabletop?

I changed mine from going to top of screen were it says "Welcome,XXXXX" XXXXX is your name and then to my account There I uploaded a photo. GL New as well

Hello Yevi. Stephen is correct, you go to your account by going up to the right side and clicking on your welcome link. the when you go to your account you scroll down pass where you change your name to where you can load and change your photo. Does that help?

That helps a lot! Thanks!

Next question, less stupid :) What is a good way for DM notes? I would like a note card for monster stats that the DM only sees. I can add text to the DM layer of the map, or I can make a handout that doesn't go to any player. Is there some other mechanism for private notes for myself?

You could add the monster stats in the GM notes of the Monster token itself.

You can write secret notes on a character. So you make a particular bad guy, you can write notes for all his stats or actually input all his stats. Personally, I just keep it on a separate on something easy to open like Notepad.

It is actually easier for me to have it on paper so that I can reference it without having to flip to different tabs, pdfs, etc..

I do that, but I have sloppy handwriting. It's easier read on a computer.

I am trying to not use paper. I have notes in 3 places. On the map, on the token, and a character sheet for an NPC. I will probably end up using the token notes for most things.  Thanks for the help! I have spent a few hours now getting things ready for a session tomorrow. I will work on some more stuff tomorrow before hand. I find the tool pretty easy and I want to see how it goes for my session. BTW, I am using this as a display on my TV. The session won't be online, but I will use a this as a digital map. I'm pretty excited.

Just remember it is a two computer setup unless you are not hiding anything from your players. One computer will be for your eyes only while the other will be the tv display oherwise they will see everything you have including your notes. Good luck and lets hear how it turned out for you.

If D&D 4e, for example, you could scan the monster stat blocks needed and put them in as images around your map on the GM Layer so only you see them. All you need to do is expand the map page to allow for the extra images wanted.

I have another question. what does the pf and pfd and lf stuff stand for?
