Create a group

In the Groups tab at the top, tap Create Group. Fill out as much of the information as you’d like to get your group up and running. All of these fields can be added or updated later.

  1. **Banner (**Optional): Tap Upload to add a banner image. A 2:1 ratio works best, preferably over 1000px in width.
  2. Logo: Tap anywhere in the box to add a square logo.
  3. Group name: Tap in the box to enter your group name.
  4. Description (Optional): Tap anywhere in the box to enter a description for your group. The first bit of your description will be shown when groups are viewed in a list.
  5. Location (Optional): Choose from a list of locations you’ve already created or tap New location to add a new one.
  6. Privacy: Your group can be set to Private (invite only, it won’t show up in searches), Listed (people can request to join, it will show up in searches), or Public (anyone can join).

Your privacy setting can be changed later, so you can get your group set up in private and make sure everything is working how you want it to before setting it to listed or public.

  1. **Group game lists** (Optional): You can attach one or more official game lists to your group. (One of your admins will need Aftergame+ to use this feature.)
  2. Types of games: Aftergame has four types of games: Board games, RPGs, TCGs, War Games. Choose one or more of these options to let people know what kinds of games your group mostly plays.
  3. Website: Add a link to your website.
  4. Create group: Once you’ve entered all the details you’d like to, tap Create group at the top. The group you’ve just made will now show up under Your groups at the top of the Groups tab.

You can now plan events as your group and invite people to join.

Manage your group

On your group page, tap the Manage button to access your admin actions.

For your members, in place of the Manage button, they will see + New… which will let them plan games, make posts, and log plays in the group (similar to your New… button but without event creation).

  1. Edit group details

  2. **Members** This is where you can see a complete list of all group members and their roles, approve applications (listed groups), change members’ roles, see their profiles, and remove them, if necessary. You can also invite people to join your group right from this page.

  3. Payment settings This is where you can set up and manage your Stripe account so you can sell tickets to your event (or whatever else you’d like to sell) through Aftergame.

  4. **Game library** This is where you can add a game library, edit the library you’ve already got, and access the game checkout system for lending games to your members.

  5. New…

    1. Plan a game in your group
    2. Make a **Post.** This action is also accessible by tapping Start a discussion on the main group page.
    3. Log a play so the group has a record of it. Plays logged in the group will contribute to groups stats (coming soon).
    4. Create a new Event for your group. (This action is only available to admins.)
