Sorry,I have a question. I create a game and I want my friend join in,but they can't see my game on the LFG list. I check my game.

Listing Status: Shown This listing is currently being shown to players in the LFG tool search results. But why I cant's see my game on the LFG?

Apparent Screen Error

A friend sent me a link to join his Savage Worlds game. When I join the game the window shows the map at the top of the screen with only 1/4" visible. I have attempted to move it using the normal drag/click drag/shift click methods but I am unable to move the map at all. Because the map is so far up I am only able to see the "As: Player Name" box, the tools window, and the move box. I have tried reloading the game multiple times but have had no luck. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!if (window.EBMessageReceived) {window.EBMessageReceived(decodeURIComponent('undefined'),decodeURIComponent('undefined'));}

How to set up tokens properly!

It seems a lot of people are having trouble getting their tokens set up properly, to work with Journal entries.

This is how to do it:

First, decide if your token represents a CHARACTER or a MOOK. A Character is a unique being; this token represents one, and only one, Journal Entry. Player characters are Characters. So are most NPCs (those with names). Some 'monsters' can be Characters as well; if there's only one instance of this being, ever, it's a Character.

A MOOK is not a unique being; this token represents one of many similar or identical creatures. A horde of goblins is made up of moooks, for example. A leader goblin may or may not be a character, depending on the situation. The Goblin King is a Character, not a mook, as there is only one Goblin King. Some NPCs may be mooks: generic townspeople, for example, are mooks until and unless they are given a specific personality, name, or other reason to identify them differently than others; in this rare case, create them anew as Character tokens.

Now the tricky part; this needs to be done exactly in this order to work properly:

1. Set up Journal entry with HP and other vital stats (By general consensus, Bar 1 usually represents Hit Points)
2. Create token to represent creature ​
3. Link token to journal entry (Represents Character dropdown menu)
4. Link token's bars to journal's stats (Bar 1,2,3 dropdown menu)
5. If "Mook", UNLINK token's Bar 1,2,3 dropdown from stats (numbers will stay but will no longer be linked)
6. Make 100% sure token is set up the way you want it (PCs bars are linked; generic creatures bars are NOT linked)
7. Open Journal entry for that Token
8. Select Token on map
9. Use Selected Token
10. Save your work

​ ​Test by dragging multiple copies onto the map. Change Hit Points on one copy; if the others change, it's done right! ​ (Unless it's a monster... if the others do not change, it's done right!) ​ ​PC tokens will always carry over changes to new maps ​Monster tokens will never carry over changes; each new token is unique.
