How to use our calendar and game planning tool.

Summary

OSR calendar is organised in 3 tabs: Calendar, my availability and game planner.

Besides following OSR events, this tool allow you to easily set up games appointments with OSR members with the following work flow:

  1. Say when you are available to play a game in the future. Then other users can see such availability and send you game requests.
  2. See when other users are available and send them games requests.
  3. Accept or decline game requests from other users
  4. Play a game !

Note that this calendar automatically adapts to the time zone you have set in your profile (direct link to set it).

Let's see that in detail.
