I can't link players to my page without sending an invite to join

I have an extensive blurb on the page that describes what the game requirements are. How do I send prospective players there without an invite?

You should setup your LFG page even if you don’t enable it. Duplicate your blurb there. It’s readable by everyone. For example: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/12770/heroes-of-the-dragon-empire" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/12770/heroes-of-the-dragon-empire</a>
Thank you!
Hello Jim L., I have moved your post to the&nbsp; Specific Use Questions &amp; Macros Additionally, I just wanted to provide a bit of extra information here to get you going. There are three kinds of game&nbsp; links &nbsp;here at Roll20. The first is the campaign link, which takes the form of&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/1234567/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/1234567/</a>... &nbsp;and links people to the 'Game Details' page for your game. By&nbsp; default &nbsp;such a link is&nbsp; only &nbsp;visible to players&nbsp; already &nbsp; in the game, and only&nbsp; Plus and Pro &nbsp;subscribers&nbsp; can &nbsp; make their games&nbsp; visible to the public .&nbsp;&nbsp; However, no one can&nbsp; post&nbsp; to your game forums unless they're already&nbsp; in &nbsp;your game. The second link type is the LFG Listing link, which takes the form of&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/1234567/BlahBl" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/1234567/BlahBl</a>... &nbsp;and links people to the LFG Listing for your game. You get this link by&nbsp; creating a LFG Directory Listing . This is the desired link to share for pretty much every purpose one can think of. Even if you do not enable it for viewing in the LFG Directory you can share the&nbsp; link &nbsp;with others and have a separate&nbsp; Listing Discussion forum &nbsp;just for those potentially interested in your game. As a bonus, anyone who posts to your game's Listing Discussion forum will have a&nbsp; big blue button &nbsp;by their username and all a GM has to is click 'Invite to Game' and an invitation will be sent their way. An example of a game that is not enabled is&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/100394/testing-mctesterson" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/100394/testing-mctesterson</a> &nbsp; Finally, we have the 'open join link', also known as the 'Player Link' which takes the form of&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/1234567/alphanumericg" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/1234567/alphanumericg</a>... and anyone who clicks on this link automatically joins your game. This is useful in private messages and other direct one-to-one communication methods. However, if you use it in a more public forum, you have no control over who is clicking it, no way to prevent griefers from filling your chat logs with nonsense and/or vandalizing whichever map page the Player Ribbon is set to, and no way to tell who has been drawing on your maps. If you&nbsp; do &nbsp;kick someone the join link changes and requires you to edit your post with the new link. This is why we strongly discourage posting open join links. I hope this information helps. Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.&nbsp;
Thank you for the clear and concise reply., that really cleared it up.
