Basic Campaign Theater question. - Page 2

It would be cool if there was an option for a player to see the Campaign but not be able to effect it. Maybe a non paying account with view access? Allow both paying accounts and nonpaying (view only) players in the game. Some of my players will never have paying account, they buy the book and that is all they need...but some will. But this might be a way to show them the power of the application? I have a mixed table right now using 2 use classic and 4 do not and I am the only one using online. So options would be great! Thanks for all the work so far

How does one go about removing a player from the campaign theater? I've been playing with it a bit trying to figure out how to use it and had one of my players join a test campaign. Now I want to remove them but all I seem to be able to do is suspend their account.

Can this be done as the software currently stands?

While it's a little better than when I vented in my OP, it's still not very intuitive. I think that I am just going to keep printing our NPCs for encounters. I am still not seeing what this feature give me. Perhaps it's because it's alpha quality content.

I am having this problem as well, it seems to simply freeze them once suspended with no option to remove. Not a massive issue but something that needs resolving from a housekeeping point of view.

That's definitely on the roadmap, but it's not something we'll have in the near term (i.e. next couple months).

It seems that the GM is currently only able to suspect accounts via the UI. The backend fully supports this, so that ought to be available soon.

Players can currently choose the Withdraw option to achieve the same net effect. So that's an alternate solution in the interim.
