This looks amazing i cant wait to try it out for our new dnd game😄

[@jasondalberti4635]

So I follow along with the toturial but after I click what universe I want the Game (Pirate Borg) I go into the game tab and select Add Scene - only to arrive at a blank selection screen? I don't see or have access to any of the material from Pirate Borg. What am I doing wrong?

[@alchemyrpg]

It sounds like this may have been a bug on our end. You should see the scenes from the Pirate Borg universe if that universe content has been enabled for your game. In some situations like this, a browser refresh can get things back up and running. The team has likely fixed this bug since then, but we'll make a note of it.

my knee jerk reaction is chat should be on the right side. Maybe it's just what I am used to but that feels off.

[@LenaMellow]

Beautiful. Is there a way to watch a live game?

[@alchemyrpg]

Yes! If the GM of the game has enabled the Allow Watchers setting, their game is watchable by anyone with an Alchemy account.

[@LenaMellow]

@@alchemyrpg Is there a link, once you get an account, where you can find live games to watch easily?

how do i use the grids on alchemy? i cant move the pieces on the table in your app

[@beezelda2306]

The icon next to "PARTY" will turn on the grid.

What is supported besides D&D?

[@beezelda2306]

Currently dnd, but there will be an update for systemless in a few months.

[@benjaminalexander7028]

It’s now updated to allow for custom systems! There will be others coming at full launch, but I made a custom system to play PBtA games pretty easily, and it works well. Also made a home brew game system work pretty seamlessly on Alchemy, and it was absolutely the easiest time I’ve had using a VTT for that. Not perfect, but worth a try for sure.
