Added GMs being able to extend/copy campaigns

So is there a particular reason this isn't already a feature? I'd like to hand off one of my campaigns to one of my players and become a player myself, but currently there's no way he will have access to my campaign notes AND have me as a player(I want to step down from being a GM). My original idea, since I can't be demoted, was to have him copy the campaign over so I could just join as a player, but he can't copy the campaign over. I feel like this might possibly be an oversight, but it is quite inconvenient, especially since I wouldn't want to see any his secrets accidentally switching to player mode from the game map every time we played.

Hi Tommy! Your suggestion is understood. Since you've asked about the reasoning and whether it is an oversight, this has been asked before and I gathered the main reason involves copyright.. so that copyright-protected resources-assets-graphics-modules that someone uploads or adds from Marketplace may not be transferred to a different account. For now your friend would need to start a fresh campaign on their account, and style it up with the features of the previous campaign. Or use the Co-GM function (wiki docs link just in case you want a reference) that you are already aware of, and you can use "Re-Join As Player" mode for yourself if you use that route.

Just an added note, you can right click the Rejoin as Player button and copy the URL to get a link you can bookmark to always jump in as a player.

That link will only make sense for a GM, though I imagine it will just log a player in as normal. =D
