Friend List Management

You can manage your friend list from the main menu, once you open it up, click the + icon in the top right to start adding friends. Usernames or email both work for this. Having friends in your list allows you to gift them things from the store or easily invite them to your game, as long as you are the GM.

Notifications

Whenever you receive a friend invite, game invite or gift, everything will be available for you in the notification panel. This is available in-game as well as from the main menu.

Player Character Cards for GMs

Anytime a player enters your game, you will have their player card show up at the top left of the screen. This player card allows you to view their: AC at a glance, passive investigation, passive insight, current hp, max hp, see if they are concentrating on a spell and quick access to their character sheet. When you are in a Region view mode or Immersive view mode, double clicking on their portrait will take you right to that player so you can never lose them again. Single click on their portrait will automatically select that player in the world for you.
