Place the Fog

1. Click the Zones button and select the Fog of War tool
2. Click and drag a nice fog over your map
3. Use the Move tool to raise it vertically off the table until the board is greyed out
4. With the Fog of War tool selected, click on the box and deselect Rehide Objects and Grey Out Visited
5. Spooky!

Create an Eraser

You can skip this section if you like, and use the workshop upload I made:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2650608890 If not, read on!

1.Open the Objects > Components > Go menus and spawn a white piece
2. Right-click on the piece and replicate these options
3. Using the Revealer and Color tint menus (Revealer should appear after the last step) adjust your eraser to taste (I like a radius of about 2 with a black tint so it's not too distracting and Visualize FOV switched on if the map is complex)

Reveal & Secure

Now for the fun part!

1. Use your eraser to reveal the Fog of War at your leisure! 2. Test as a Player if you like xd
This is what your players will see (you can deselect the "Visualize FOV" option in the Revealer menu to minimize distraction if you like)

3. (Recommended) Lock the Eraser down between turns by mousing over it and pressing the "L" key or right-clicking on it and going to Toggles and making sure "Lock" is selected.

4. (Optional, good for rowdy players) Go the the Permissions menu at the top and deselect the "Locking" option

This will keep the chaotic neutral players from messing with the eraser on their turn ;)

Set the Perfect Ambush for your Players >:)

1. Fill your Fog with all manner of beastly aberrations and abominations

They won't suspect a thing! (unless they have a good Perception score)
2. ???
  1. PROFIT!
