Creating pages with easy-to-access game aids (maps, NPC/Monster pics, etc), is easy.

While in your game area, perform the following:

  • Click the Create Game Aid link in your game nav menu which appears on the right hand side of the page.
  • Enter a short, concise title.
  • You'll see a Game Aids drop-down list, choose an appropriate category from the list. Doing so flags the particular page as a Game Aid page.
  • You can link to images from other sites, or upload your own images by clicking on the image icon in the editor area. If your image is very large, uploading then linking to it will keep it from grossly distorting the page layout when viewed.
  • Save your page, and then you'll see the Game Aids block appear on the right while in your game area. Your new content will show as a link.
  • To allow your Game Aids to be seen in the activity lists outside the game area, Grant View access to each player in your game. Don't forget to grant access when new players join.
