Why do you only give 500MB of quota on Game Master Tier, what if I run out of space?
The 500MB quota is meant to be used for your worlds and any custom system or module you wish to install. It is entirely separate from asset storage. It is more than enough for most people to create dozens or even a hundred worlds. Most worlds will only use 2MB to 5MB of data, while bigger worlds (such as complete Wizard of the Coast adventures) use 10MB to 20MB of data. An average of of over 2000 worlds on The Forge gave us an average world size of 6.1MB.
Also, use of The Forge’s Bazaar, which features publicly available Systems and Modules do not use your data space, but compendiums within those systems and modules do count towards the quota.
If you still need more space, you can add an Extra Data subscription to your existing Forge Subscription to increase your quota limit.

How do I create new worlds, or install modules?
For story-teller or higher tier subscriptions, you can create new worlds via the My Foundry page. Click on the plus sign icon below the “Table Tools” box to create a world. From there, you can create a new world, or select an existing world/adventure on The Bazaar.
The process for the Game Master tier is a little different. Login to your account, and launch your table. Then navigate to your settings, following the screenshot pictured below :
Then click on the
Return to Setupbutton:
If you are unable to log in for any reason from within The Forge’s game configuration page, you can stop the server, restart it, and it will start on the Setup page of Foundry.
From the Setup page, you can follow the default process for creating a new Foundry world.
