New website features
As a playgroup admin it's now possible to invite new members via email and directly manage their decks. We've heard the complaint a couple of times now that some users just can't be bothered to create their account, and add their decks. With this new feature you can now do this for them.

To invite new users do the following:

  • Go to a playgroup you are the admin of
  • Open the playgroup members or the invite member pop-up by pressing the icons underneath the playgroup name
  • Give the email for the user you want to invite
  • If they are not a Playgroup.gg member yet an account will be created for them and they will receive an email to either delete their account again, to claim it, or to allow it to be managed by you, their inviter.
  • You can now add decks for this user.

It's now also possible to directly import decks from Archidekt, hopefully more deck builders will follow soon. To get started simply go to the Add deck page and select "Import decks from Archidekt".

Till next time!
