Exporting Maps from purchased modules

Hi, Recently, I have been DM'ing a campaign of "Rise of Tiamat", having skipped the previous module, "Horde of the Dragon Queen". Having seen an interesting PDF that outlines a possible return to the setting of Horde, I was considering getting Horde on Roll20 in order to get access to the map, especially if it comes with built-in dynamic lighting. But before I do that, I wanted to know if it would be possible to export the map from one instance (Horde of the Dragon Queen) to another (Rise of Tiamat), and what the steps would be to do so (as well as what account status I would need to be able to do that). At the same time, I was trying to wrap my head around how the system for buying maps works, in terms of: is it feasible to buy a few (say one is urban themed, and the other might be more wilderness themed) and easily get those into an existing game? Thanks!

For moving maps between Modules ( or from a Module to an existing game, or just between existing games), you would need the Transmogrifier Perk that comes with a Pro Subscription.  You would then create a game with the new Module as a base, then copy the page from one to the other. If you are buying Addons that contain maps, those can easily be added to existing games. if you are buying Map Art packs, you can create a new page in an existing game, and drag those art assets in from your library to build a map in that game.
This has been wonderfully helpful so far, but could you clarify the part about Addons?

Sure!&nbsp; Addons are a type of marketplace package which is somewhere between an art pack and a module.&nbsp; It can contain map pages, decks, handouts, characters, etc. and gets added on to an existing game via a dropdown on the game's main page.&nbsp; Here's a filtered list of them:&nbsp; <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/search?category=RPG%20Rulebooks:Addons" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/search?category=RPG%20Rulebooks:Addons</a> Here's the help on them:&nbsp; <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048923354-Addons" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048923354-Addons</a>
Thanks, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for and didn't know how to ask! Cheers!&nbsp;
