Is there a way to copy a map layer from one game into another game?

August 14 (3 years ago)

Basically exactly as the title reads. I concluded one game a few months back, and have since started up a sequel to it. My players will be revisiting a local from that first game soon, and I was hoping there was a way to easily recreate the map without having to do it all manually.

Yes--you can import the map page directly from the old game to the sequel game if you pay for a month of Pro and use the Transmogrifier feature.

Otherwise you would have to make a new page in the sequel game and recreate the scene using your art assets.

If it is for one encounter, you could also vault their characters into the old game temporarily.

Having them move back into the old game would be abit annoying, and somewhat of a hassle since I have new players in this game, and recreating it would take alot of time. What I ended up doing instead of clearing out all token and GM layer items, as well hid as the grid layout, and took a snip of the area I needed, and then uploaded it to the name game as a PNG. Now it's scalable enough, and since it doesn't have any grid lines, it'll seem like I actually did just move it over. Thank you for the help and advice in anycase, if I ever get Pro, then I'll know I can do that!
