Create Game
To create a new game in Astral, press the Create New button on the main left sidebar.

Click Start New Game.

Give your game a proper title and choose a system.

After creating your game, you will be redirected to the main game area where you can begin building battemaps and organizing characters. You will have GM privileges by default (user permissions covered in Manage Players)
System Support
When choosing your game's System, if Astral has a template for the chosen system, all new characters will be created with that system's template.
More information can be found about System Support here!
If you're having difficulties picking a system, try starting with a tutorial game from the create game screen.
