Can You Clone a Shadowfell Game From Another User?

So I'm super new to Roll 20 and I'm trying to DM a Shadowfell game for some friends. And I've been looking at how to start and all that but I was just wondering if there's anyway to clone someone else's Shadowfell game and just change elements of it to fit your own? Because I'm going to load up the maps and monsters and all the same stuff everyone else loads up on it so can I just copy someone else who already did that? Or is that out of the realm of possibility? Thanks. And I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. Very new. I appreciate any responses.

Short answer - no Long answer - Information can not be cloned/copied between separate accounts. You would have to input all the info you wish to use into your campaign. If you were going to use the info in multiple campaigns that you own (based on your account) you can duplicate that campaign and rename it. On that note, mentor level subscribers also have the transmogifier which allows them to copy individual sheets between their campaigns.
If you're asking "Is there a repository of maps and tokens people have already uploaded that I can browse through for the things I need", then no. You have to upload them yourselves. However, if you know someone who already has set up a campaign, they can duplicate the entire thing (may be a Mentor thing, I don't know for sure), including maps, tokens, and characters, and then just set you as a GM on it so you can run it yourself. I know I did this for two Rise of the Runelords games that I had already set up, and copied to give control to two other people who wanted to run their own. But outside of that, no, you would have to do it all manually. Unless the maps happen to be on like, RPGMapShare, in which case they will be searchable in the Images tab.

Askren said: However, if you know someone who already has set up a campaign, they can duplicate the entire thing (may be a Mentor thing, That aspect is available to everyone. It is, I believe, listed in the detail page on the campaign and is called copy/extend campaign. This allows you to copy certain aspects of the campaign in general like players and their settings (includes macros), all your map pages, any deck you made, the journal which includes all the handouts and the sheets, any chat log and jukebox list along with the campaign forum also. As I said earlier there is a mentor level feature that is called Transmogifier that allows the subscriber to copy individual pieces and transfer them to another campaign the created.
Cool. That's good to know. I know people are running Shadowfell on here so I was just curious. I'm not trying to cut corners, it just occurred to me that people have already done the same exact work I was about to start. I'm adding a new opening encounter to it so maybe it's best to start fresh anyway. Maybe I can just find the Shadowfell maps online so I don't have to edit and crop them from the pdfs I have. I'll look into the Mentor subscription, too. I'm not really sure what my limits are yet with a free account. And thanks for the heads up on RPGMapShare. That's a great resource I didn't know about.

I'm working on a Nentir Vale setting that is not cannon. It is almost done, just now waiting for life and school to settle down somewhat to allow me to run it some.
