Hi! Just making a quick check! New Heroes interface looks awesome, good work! But I was wondering; well, I started here just short while ago, and I've just ran one game and one test run with old system. My players don't have accounts at this points, but it has gone fine - but can I expect any setbacks if they decide NOT to make heroes accounts? Can I still manage the games and all other features here as normal and drag player characters around in npc list or something? The Heroes doesn't recognise my players as protagonists anymore, as there is no users behind them yet, and I try to just make sure I can use all the features I can in our game next Saturday to take notes and find articles and such without a hassle if there is no players connected to my game. ^^

Hi Tiirikka! So, with the new system, all PCs are required to have a player account behind them, so if you could have your players create the account and then a character, that would be the best option. The workaround is creating all the characters yourself. Then, copy the invite link and access it once for each PC (make sure you activate the PCs, one by one). As a Master Worldsmith (thanks for the support!), the character limit should be enough for the whole party (unless it's a big one!), but of course, you will have less space for your own characters (NPCs don't count and are unlimited). So yeah, there's a workaround but the best option is to have the players create the characters themselves.

Hi, can I ask something? Can we import characters from worldbuilding to heroes?

Hi! That's not a feature right now, but maybe it will be in the future. PCs (and so characters with social profiles) can't have an article in the world. However, if you're a GM and create an NPC for the campaign, it will have an article (but not a social profile on Heroes).

Hey there, I was wondering how you would go about deleting a Hero?

Go to the character profile -> Edit button -> red Delete Character button at the bottom of the page.

How do you change the name of your world? It says that you can use a placeholder name and update it later, now I can't find where to do so.

Go to the dashboard, you see the menu of your world, it starts with things like Summary, Articles, Categories, the last one is Configuration. That's the one you need. Click on it and you are at the page where you can change the name of your world (and change the Description/Introduction, Genre, RPG System. You can also chance your cover image. Good luck.

Hi! I was just wondering if it were possible to send messages from one NPC/Hero to another, I'm DMing a game at the moment and I though that would be a great way to track dialogue between characters!

I think so, but they are private (even for the DM), so I don't think it would really be useful to you. To do so, one of the players has to access the other player's character profile and click the "message" button.

Can someone please inform me of the character limit in the Hero journal entries? I keep getting 404'd and can't find the limit number. thank you in advance. (the link from the codex to get to this page has a spelling mistake FYI)

I don't think there's a character limit in journal entries! How many characters does it have? Also, make sure the entry doesn't have characters such as emojis, the editor doesn't like those.

Hello, could you tell me how to add to the History tab on my RPG characters profile page? When I click "Edit", I get a personal history section under the Mentality tab, which is under the Extended Profile tab. When I fill this out and then click "Go to Character Profile, " all of that info ends up under the About tab, not the History tab. Thank you, Ryan

Hi! The History tab is populated automatically from the character's posts when you use the "achievement / life event" post type. Hope this helps!

I'm confused and concerned about PC visibility. When I encouraged all of my players to create their character profiles, character sheet blocks, and associate their character sheet blocks to their profiles, I operated under the presumption that only the sensible people (i.e., myself the GM and the specific player themself) would be able to see the very private details of their character sheet. I run campaigns in which PCs need to have their privacy from other PCs and let their traits and aspects unfold through the story... What we've discovered however is that now every player can see the details of every other player's profile and character sheet - which totally ruins the immersion for us as a party. I've had to take my game off of WA. I cannot find any combination of privacy settings that correct for this over-sharing... Any guidance?

Hi! When you have an active character, click the "Settings" option in the left sidebar. It will expand into four options, one of which is "Privacy". From there, you can toggle the visibility of the character profile and its sheet. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I'm the designer of a page and one of my player's can't access their character anymore that's on my world. How do I delete their character/ get them to NOT show up on the world page anymore?
Feb 28, 2022 08:37
Hi! You can delete a character by editing its profile and using the button in the "delete character" panel in the bottom right. If you just want to hide characters from your homepage, go to the world settings and uncheck the "Display List of Characters related to your campaigns on the World's homepage" checkbox.

Hi, My search bar doesnt work, it keeps loading when I write in it. And if I press Enter it just take me back to the Heroes Home page.

Hi! Can you be a bit more specific? Which search bar and what do you mean when you say it keeps loading? Thanks!

Can you add information on how to access Heroes please?
Hi! I wrote for the Guild release, when Heroes and the main World Anvil site were still separate things. That's no longer the case, so this character will soon be merged with the Getting started guide. As for your question, it really depends on which feature of "Heroes" you want to access. Basically, go to your World Anvil global dashboard (https://www.worldanvil.com/dashboard/) and use the left sidebar to navigate between the different parts of the site. New features introduced with this update can be found in Characters and Campaigns.
Understood. Thanks for the clarification.
