How do I enable another user to be the DM and create games?

I have the server running on my Home Serer.
How do I now let friends create their own games against that server and can multiple games run at the same time.

So far all I can find is the option for them to join one of my games. I can set them as DM, but I don't see an option for them to crate their own game (though I may have missed it).

Just a guess, but I think you need the server part to be able to create games.
A workaround might be to let your friend use your PC using Teamviewer or something similar. Then he/she could probably start the server part with their own username/password and create games.

Mmh, well if your friends cant create a server for some reason, then one easy way to do this is for you to create multiple accounts and run a server with each. At the moment you can only run 1 game on 1 server cause they're bound to your account.

Ah, well that explains it. However we run multiple campaigns at my house, with a couple of different DMs, so the ability to mount two or more sessions would be great. They don't have to be concurrent (though that would be better as 1 DM might be prepping his adventure while another is being played), but they should be distinct.


Is it possible to run more than 1 server per PC?

Smitemeister

Yes, it is. As it works in the open beta you just need 1 account per server and make sure that all servers on your comp use different ports (which you can set up by clicking on the little gear icon in the bottom left in the server window).

It sounds like you are making a skirmish server farm

Two concurrent campaigns seems plenty for my current processor and RAM. And I mean me rather than my computers
