Parties are the heartbeat of RPG campaigns, providing a framework for collaborative storytelling and shared adventures. The Party management system on Game Squire is designed to streamline this collaborative process, enabling Game Masters (GMs) to easily organize and guide their players through epic narratives.
Accessing Parties
Simply navigate to My Game > Parties to view and manage your current parties. This is where the seeds of adventure are sown and nurtured into full-blown quests.
Party Management for GMs
GMs have the exclusive ability to create parties and manage memberships. Invitations are sent via email, and upon acceptance, players with an active Game Squire membership are added to the party roster. The parties you lead are listed for quick access, each representing a distinct narrative path.
Party Profiles
Creating a new party is a matter of a few clicks, inviting players to band together and embark on the journeys you've meticulously planned. The 'View' mode of each party provides a snapshot of the members, their roles, and the dynamics at play within the group.
Viewing and Administration
GMs have a dedicated action bar with options to 'View,' 'Edit,' 'Delete,' and 'Add' parties. 'View All' facilitates effortless navigation between different party groups.
Player Engagement
While players cannot create or modify parties, their participation is pivotal. They bring the characters to life, contributing to the party's success and enriching the shared story.
Party Membership Features
Visibility of Player Characters (PCs): GMs gain visibility of all PCs owned by party members, easing the process of integrating characters into campaigns. GMs cannot edit characters they do not own but the Award system allows them to award XP and treasure, as well as assign Inspiration and make private notes about and character owned by a party member.
Multiple Parties and Memberships: Flexibility is key, with GMs able to manage several parties and players free to join multiple groups.
Party Size: Up to 12 players plus the GM can be part of a party, balancing group dynamics and diversity.
The Parties feature is integral to the RPG experience on Game Squire, simplifying the organizational aspects and allowing GMs and players to focus on the thrill of the adventure.
