I may be blind, but where do players sign up to use the web version? I have the main account, but we want to use the player web accounts first to see if they like the tool or not before they put their money into getting the player version.
Thanks! |

At this juncture (IMO) save your players some $, The "players edition" was nearly DOA when it came out, there has been little to change that until the "Content Market" finnnnnally arrives, and LWD can make good on years old promises for delivering a usable players version that actually integrates with the DM version allowing for : Content reveal by player Content Reveal by Character Custom game world calendars The ability to incorporate character / Player notes if desired into the realm and then mark as true / partly true or false like on the DM side Just to name a few things on the ever expanding ever waiting list that is not Content Market.

Dark Lord Galen is absolutely right. My players seldom use it exactely for those reasons, Kaos.

To be fair - I have a player, that bought the GM-version and uses it as a player version for my game.
He really enjoys looking up things between sessions and using it as a notebook and reference system during play. But yes, there is no easy way to transfer reveals immediately from my RW to his. Which I imagine will be a show-killer for a lot of people. So, for some (a few?) players a Player version of RW will be worth it - for some, not so much. And yes, we are really longing for the features Dark Lord Galen mentions. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

To the best of my knowledge none of my players ever even installed the player editions I bought them. Certainly none of them use RW at all. I have long hoped that the CM would be done and the long list of wish list items could start getting worked on since player journals are on that list and a couple of my players are serious note takers during sessions

Iam taking notes as player + GM in RW. As player it turns out that taking "serious" notes takes too long, though I would wish I could use it to full potential. But it takes too long to create the topics (sometimes multiple necessary) while the GM gives a description.
So mostly I'll just put it in chronological session notes bullet point style, but here RW behaves sluggish if the topics get to large and unwieldly == additional maintenance necessary. In the future I'll take session notes on notepad / write it down and have to input it in RW as player. This is the best way I think. As GM RW is great.

I'm not sure if player's should be creating topics "on the fly" during sessions.
What I see as the best solution is that they simply open a text input screen where they can input notes. However when saved it gets added to RW under their name and the session date with appropriate linking and reveal state. That way they could reference their notes between or before sessions and the links would direct them into the rest of the realm. IMO that would make player edition, and the web edition, something really useful to players and therefore useful to GM's as anything that increases player engagement is a good thing IMO. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

kbs666 for sure there are 10 other ways doing this better than I do :P Just described my process. The GM in that round does not use RW - I'm the only one player wise & GM wise.
