Roll Call adds your confirmed sessions to a calendar it creates in your account, called Roll Call. Connect a calendar and it happens on its own.
Only sessions you are attending are written, and only for you.
Writing comes with the GM's plan. A campaign run on Starter or on the free trial is read only, so its sessions are not written to anyone's calendar. Reading your busy times works on every plan. See Plans and the free trial.
The Roll Call calendar itself is created on every plan after your first sync, so it can appear with nothing on it.
How it works
When you are marked Attend for a confirmed session, an event appears on your Roll Call calendar. Change to Miss and it comes off again.
Cancelled and rescheduled sessions are removed. A session that moves has its event moved with it.
Why a separate calendar
Keeping session events on their own calendar means Roll Call never writes to the calendars you already keep. You can hide it, colour it, or share it without touching anything else.
Sessions you are attending count as busy time for your other campaigns, whether or not you connect a calendar. Roll Call does not read the Roll Call calendar: it already knows your sessions.
Editing the events
Roll Call keeps the calendar in step with the app. Retitle a session event or move it by hand and it is put back on the next sync, and an event you delete by hand comes back the same way.
To change a session, change it in Roll Call.
Deleting the calendar
Delete the Roll Call calendar in Google Calendar and Roll Call makes a new one the next time it has a session to add. That happens at most once a day, and your upcoming sessions go back on the new one.
To stop seeing it, hide it instead.
Missing events
Events are written in the background, so give a sync a minute to catch up. Check four things if one never turns up:
- The campaign's GM is on Regular or Pro. Starter and trial campaigns are read only.
- The session is confirmed, not still a proposal.
- Your RSVP for it is Attend.
- Your calendar connection has no sync error on it.
See Fixing calendar sync problems.
Disconnecting
Disconnecting a calendar stops new events being written to it. Events already on its Roll Call calendar stay where they are, and you can delete that calendar yourself.
Connect Apple Calendar again later and Roll Call makes a fresh Roll Call calendar, so you may see two of them.
With more than one calendar connected, events go to one of them. Disconnect that one and your upcoming sessions move to a calendar that is still connected, on its own Roll Call calendar.
