Hello!
I recently bought the Ultimate license in order to run a couple of different groups through 4th edition D&D games. I'm working really hard to learn the basics, and I've answered most of my own questions with the help of these boards and the FUM boards (for the parser).
One question I haven't been able to answer is about backing up player character sheets. It takes a bit of work to make them, but it looks very easy to accidentally delete them. Is there a file I can find in the Appdata folder to back them up? Should I just back up the entire campaign folder to be safe?
What if I want to use a pc sheet in a different campaign? Is there a simple way to move them?
I know from Xorn's videos that the adventure building model consists of the following: the DM creates a campaign, and within it he creates the player character sheets. Any maps or images that he plans to use throughout the campaign can go in here. Then the DM creates a campaign that will be a single adventure, and when it is done, he uses a /export command in the chat window to turn the campaign into a module. When the DM is ready to run the adventure he opens the original campaign which houses the PC sheets, and opens the adventure module. This information will show up as a tab on each of the DM’s folders (story, encounters, personalities, etc).
If I could move PC sheets, would I be able to skip the /export step and just keep moving the PC sheets into the next adventure I want to run?
I haven't built my own adventures yet, but when I do I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.
Thanks in advance!
