Player Quick Start
Players do not need a heavy account system to begin.
The strongest player-facing legacy article was the Player Passport post. Its core point still holds: players need continuity, not credential sprawl.
What you need
- A character, whether custom, premade, or imported from a prior campaign artifact.
- A Player Passport if the campaign issues one for continuity and ownership.
- A clear understanding that the shared battlemat reflects committed game state.
What a passport is
The passport is a bearer credential, not a public identity card. It exists to connect a player to their characters and campaign continuity without requiring usernames, passwords, and recovery flows.
Character sheets may be shared. Player Passports must not be.
If you are issued a passport, treat it like an object with authority. Store it securely. Do not post it, forward it casually, or bundle it with screenshots of your sheet.
