Clarification on "Campaigns" and "Maps"

Hello, everyone, Pardon me for what must seem like a noob question, but I'm used to the term "Campaign" meaning a collection of maps, adventures, encounters, etc... In short, it is the over-arching collection of adventures the PCs encounter. In this setting, however, I only seem to be able to create a single map per campaign. Is this correct or am I misunderstanding this tool? What I would like to do is create a "Campaign" that has a collection of maps/encounters/settings within it that I can sift through and present to my players at need. For example, if my campaign will take place on a continent, in a kingdom, in a city, I would like to be able to create each of those as separate maps with both GM-viewable and player-viewable areas. Then, I would like to be able to create individual adventure maps such as ancient tombs, dungeons, cave systems, sewer strongholds of the thieves guild, etc... Is that possible in roll20 and am I just missing something? Yours, Dave

Top right corner of the map is a blue icon. Click it and then you can make new maps and switch players or yourself between maps. To switch yourself click on the map you want. To move players to a different map drag the red ribbon to the map you wish your players to be on. - Gauss

Hi Dave, Welcome to Roll20. What you want is totally possible and is a great strength of Roll20. See this page for info on the "page" function. <a href="http://help.roll20.net/page-toolbar/" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/page-toolbar/</a> Have fun.

Now all I need is to figure out how to crop tiles that I place so they don't overflow the boundaries of the continents I draw, free-hand. Or, failing that, simply draw a continent map in another tool (like GIMP) and import it into a campaign's Page. Yours, Dave

You can adjust the size of the "page" to make more room, or just use the polygon draw tool with a filled color (both boxes that appear next to the pointer tool be the same color, black for example) and draw a "cover" that just blanks them out. blue for ocean, etc If &nbsp;you need any help with tiles/maps/graphics, give a shout. I am around ALL the time :P
