Internet Multiplayer

How to use it

• GM: when starting a session, turn on Internet under Who can join. Or, in a running session, open the menu and choose Host Internet Game, then Open Internet Lobby.
• The Multiplayer panel shows the Join Code (like ABCD-2345), whether the lobby is Online, and how many players are in.
• Player: on the home screen tap Join Game, open the Internet tab, type your name and the code, and tap Join.

Step by step

1. GM: start the session with Internet switched on.
2. Read the Join Code to your players, or tap Copy Code and send it.
3. Player: Join Game → Internet, enter the code (with or without the dash, any case), then Join.
4. Choose your character. You join the session as it is right now, even in the middle of a fight.
5. GM: Close Lobby stops new players joining over the internet; Save & Quit ends it for everyone.

Reconnecting

• If your connection drops, the app reconnects by itself and catches up. Your character, and your turn, are kept.
• If the GM's connection drops, players see "Host disconnected" and wait; play carries on when the GM is back.
• Leaving and joining again with the same code puts you back on your character.

Troubleshooting

• "No game has that Join Code": check the code with the GM. A code stops working when the GM closes the lobby or saves and quits.
• "Newer" or "older" Game Master: whoever has the older app updates it; both must run the same version.
• "This device is offline" or "Couldn't reach the game server": check Wi-Fi or mobile data and try again.
• Host disconnected: the GM's device lost its connection or the app was closed. Wait, or ask the GM.
• Pictures look plain at first: custom portraits and maps arrive in the background and appear when they are ready.
• If the game server restarts, the GM's game gets a new code; the GM gives it to the players again.
