View Full Version : Easy way to organize Story Groups?

So I was creating a campaign setting module to help me organize my adventures easier, and created a whole bunch of groups to sort them by chapters. However, I didn't account that when I exported the module, it'd actually still list the chapters when I open it up, and adds to the clutter of the Story Groups that I'll be making. Can I somehow easily sort my Story groups by their respective sources, or perhaps quickly edit the module so it all falls under one group? I have something like 80 odd entries, so the prospect of opening each one to drag into a new group to export it is a bit of a hassle.

If you have multiple groups in a single module the recommendation is to prepend each group name with a short abbreviation of the module name. For example, if you're creating something for a module called "The Deep Dark Dungeon" then you might use TDDD or DDD in front of your group names. e.g. "DDD - Chapter 1"

Once you update the group names in your development campaign, check out the part of the attachment in post #1 here about updating modules. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?33538-Adventure-Module-Creation-Best-Practices
