Just export like anything else. See the video in this series for how to export to a module. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l-Video-Series

Thanks. So I have to load the table as module in every campaign I'd like to use it then? No way to just export for specific table import?

The only way to export from a campaign in FG is to a module, apart from characters which can be exported as an xml file. So, yes, if you want to use a table in multiple campaigns export to a module and open the module in the other campaigns.

Thanks again. I will take a look at this, but having even more modules to load and organize can be quite daunting. Even more so with the module activation window using so much space (even with modules extension).

Turns out that converting something like Pathfinder weather tables from SRD web-sites to comma delimited input strings is quite easy. No manual typing and pasting into several campaigns works, too. So both approaches seem to work.

Put as many things as possible into one module :) I have one module for my own GM stuff (and a separate campaign for creating it), and one for player stuff :) I just add what I need at the moment :)

Good idea, thank you. :rv:

That's what I do as well. I start up an empty game for my GM stuff, build there and export everything in that campaign as a mod. Super easy to update.

Export to a module from your development campaign.
Open module in your play campaign.
Copy table to campaign.
Close module.

Be aware copy is now independent from the module and development campaign copy, but you don't have to worry about how many modules you have open.

By "copy table to campaign" I understand that I first create a copy of the table and then drag it into the uncategorized group? This seems to work at least.

Having a GM and maybe player module ready also sounds like a good idea to handle over multiple campaigns. I do worry a bit about module organization, because the Module Activation window is rather basic in function and easily gets filled over time. I already bought an extension to make it smaller in size, though.

PS: We could use an option to hide modules that are no longer needed/used. For example, I am not going to GM the "Fall of Plaguestone" adventure anytime soon again, but it still keeps being downloaded with updates and thus showing up in my module list.

That's a piffling amount of modules :)
