Create DSA 5 world

To create a new world, go to the Foundry Admin menu and select Game Worlds (1) -> Create World (2). Here you have to enter the name of the world (3), the path in which the world will be saved (4) and the rules system (5). (Important: For DSA The Dark Eye (5th Edition)) must be selected (5).

Initialize DSA 5 Quickstarter and Rulebook

After starting a world, you can log in as Gamemaster (Select Player) (Join Game Session). After that you may get the message Language settings. Here you can choose between de for German and en for English.

Next the Quickstarter module must be activated. Otherwise the DSA 5 character sheets and a few compendium contents are available, but everything has to be rebuilt.

1. click on the cogwheel (game settings) -> manage modules.
2. check the box in front of The Dark Eye - Introduction Adventure and click on Update Modules.
   
3. when setting the checkmark a dependency message may appear. This should always be confirmed with Yes:
   
4. as soon as the world has reloaded, a window appears with short instructions and an initialization. Here click on Initialize. This will copy all the contents of the module into the respective categories (scenes, actors, notes, etc.).
   The initialization can also be repeated via the gear wheel (Settings) on the top right -> Customize Settings -> Module Settings -> The Dark Eye - Introduction Adventure -> Initialize.
   This is only necessary if you clicked away the dialog the first time. If you just do this again, the entries will be copied to the categories again and will be duplicated.
