I was playing around in a game I GM and accidentally switched the default character for the GM to a random NPC. How can I switch it back without creating another new character and deleting the old one.

The reason I ask is because all the PMs are attached to the old character and now instead of my RTJs being top of the list they're at the bottom because they're now pointing at an "NPC".

Another question in this vein; How do you keep GM run PC's from "logging in" at the same time as the GM on "The Cast" list?

The same way you changed it before!  Wait?  That's not helpful?

In your GM menu, click "Edit Players", then select the player in the drop-down list and choose "Reorder".

In the GM menu, select "Edit Character Tags", and ensure the GM's character reads "player".  This is how RPoL knows how to skew the time report, I believe.

That said, remember two things:

• Only GMs see hour-minute times; players just see the day of last login reported.
• As GM, you always see the correct times, never the skew.  You'd have to log out of RPoL (or open it in a different browser/incognito mode) and look at your game to see what a player would see on the Cast List.

Ah, ok.  Coolness.

Thank You!

Thank you cruinne!

GMs are the only people who see the actual times that someone logged in to the game.  Everyone else just sees a date.  On top of that, I think (but I'm not positive, I go through that a lot these days) that RPOL automatically offsets the login times for GM-owned characters slightly.

Yep.  I mention that specifically in my post.
