My group is looking to form a West Marches style campaign. We are aiming to upgrade from Classic to Unity at the same time, so we'll have both versions available. This leads to two questions:
1) Is there an easy way for multiple DMs to share content between each other in either version? Exporting to modules comes to mind, but inevitably we will run into issues with multiple sessions running simultaneously. They'll both export unique modules and that will create problems with merging and file overwriting. For example, if we have a Note named "Session Notes" and both DMs edit it, merging the module folders will cause one of those to be lost. We'd rather avoid that. Our current idea is to export the modules as different names and have one DM manually merge them in FG, but that quickly becomes a time consuming bad idea.
2) Assuming the answer to the above is no, will FGU be able to create or support such functionality in the future? Something like a shared module that can be simultaneously edited by multiple DMs?
Given the issues presented above, one user has suggested we use Google Docs or something, but it'd be so much cleaner to keep the notes in FG. That's what it's built for, after all, and it makes note keeping so easy. We're just looking for a way to have our cake and eat it, too.
