| − | [[File:ModuleSelection.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Selecting Purchased Modules]]If you've purchased a copy of '''[Name Placeholders]'''''The Strange Rulebook'', ''The Strange: The Dark Spiral'', or ''The Strange Starter Pack'' from the Roll20 Marketplace, they will be listed on the right side of the Campaign Creation page. This is also where you can access and download the associated PDF rulebooks or adventure pack booklets that come with your purchase. | + | |

| − | At default, the Blank Campaign will be selected. Simply click on the module you would like run to have that checked off instead. This auto selects the character sheet for you too. Create a name for your Campaign, add Tag keywords if you wish and then click on the '''I'm Ready, Create Campaign!''' button. Your chosen module will load up automatically.

| − | [[File:TheStrangeRolling.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Rolling for Difficulty in ''The Strange'']] When the GM gives a player a difficult rating for a given task, the player rolls directly from her character sheet. In both the ''Numenera'' and ''The Strange'' character sheets is a section with roll buttons for the Difficulty Scale that are listed sequentially from Simple to Impossible.

| − | If a user has [[3D Dice]] activated in '''My Settings''', a 3D d20 will roll across the Tabletop. Regardless if 3D Dice are used or not, the roll's result will be displayed in the '''Chat''' Tab.

| + | |
| − | [[File:StrangeXPCardDeck.jpg|200px|thumb|left|XP Poker Chips simulated by utilizing the Roll20 Card Deck feature]]Since experience points can be traded in as a narrative currency during gameplay, some gaming groups might prefer to use physical objects to represent experience and trade them between one another. This can be simulated in Roll20 with the use of an Infinite Card Deck. The Strange modules available on the Roll20 Marketplace already come with an XP Deck preloaded, but making one from scratch with your own graphics is easy to do too. The GM can show and hide the deck from the tabletop by clicking on Hide/Show button beside the deck in the '''Decks and Tables''' tab on the '''Sidebar'''.

| − | When players are given cards, a thumbnail of the back of the card appears above their portrait and if it is set to do so, will also show you the number of how many cards they currently hold. If they wish to give a token to the GM they first click on the thumbnail above their own portrait to open up their hand. Then they grab a token there and drag it to the GM's portrait. This brings up a trade window that the GM can either accept or deny. They can also drag the token to the tabletop and the GM can pick it up it that way too by right clicking on it and selecting '''Take Card'''.
