DM View as Player

Hi guys. I have created a D&D game and would like to participate as a player. Can I permanently adjust the view of the player? For me the game always starts in the DM view, even though someone else was appointed by me as DM...

You certainly can. If you right click the ' rejoin as player ' button and save the link as a bookmark you will be able to use that to log into the game as a player straight away.
The best way to do this is to create a 2nd 'dummy' account that you can play with instead of using the "Rejoin as Player" function.

Either one of these will work. I'd recommend the bookmark method, since you can browse the rest of the site normally while still logged in.

I recall there are differences between a GM rejoining as player, and an actual player account. So it might be better to use the dummy account approach. Maybe use a different browser, so you dont need to logout then back in each time.

I'm not sure if there are differences, or how important they would be. I host four games for our game group, since we rotate GM duties. I have a Join as Player browser bookmark for each game. I pretty much am just a player in those. The only difference I can think of is that I am still the only one who can adjust the campaign settings page. But honestly, either approach will work, and use which you like.

You're probably correct. I think I am mixing up the differences between using View as Player while still a GM, and rejoining as a Player.
