I have an image that has a bunch of pins in it. I want to use the image, pins and all in another campaign as well as the one I have created it in. How can I do this? If it maters, this is in the 5e rules set.

Thanks for any help.

Export your data to a module: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996640899/Using+the+Library+and+Activating+Modules#Module-Export

I had found that method, I was just hoping for an easier solution.

What I created was images for for lists of items for sale in stores. I created all the parcels so the players only need to drag the item to their inventory. I included a negative monetary value so it would be subtracted from the characters wealth when they dragged the parcel on to the character sheet.

I guess that means dragging each parcel individually into the export window (I think there is a couple hundred). That or every parcel in the campaign would be added. I guess I should have thought this through more before I started and made a campaign to do this in.

I guess I get to make my first module. Live and learn.

Thanks for the response.

Make a copy of your current campaign - rename the directory to something like "My module making campaign". Load that campaign up and delete all of the data you don't want in your module. Then export the remaining data into a module - and use that module in your campaigns. When you need to make changes to the module, open up "My module making campaign", make your changes and export to a module (overwriting the previous module you exported).
