[edit] Tips
Few tips to keep in mind when using the Transmogrifier:
- The transmogrifying tool does not allow you to take anything from someone else's game and move it to yours, nor does it allow you to move anything from your games to your friend's.
- You can use Character Vault to move characters between any games
- Currently, if you try to copy over an existing object, you will receive a warning that it will be overwritten. This is based on the original ID of the object, not the name, so it should only happen if you really did already copy over that object previously. Pages don't have this restriction due to the way that they are implemented, so you can copy over the same page as many times as you'd like.
- You can't copy over Players or Macros. This means that any "Controlled By" flags that are set on tokens/characters will need to be set again once they are in the new game.
- Macro Character Sheet is a trick you can use for transferring macros between games
- If you don't copy a Character and you copy a Page that has tokens that represent that Character, you will need to manually change them back to "Generic Token".
- Having a Library Campaign for larger campaigns is smart to store&backup content that isn't actively used in the game. The Transmogrifier makes this possible & easy to copy things back and forth.
- In case you need to do a Rollback, always make a copy of your game so you can then transmog any content from the new copy to the rolled back campaign, if you have content you want to preserve from both. Creating a copy of your game is always a good idea before making a Rollback, as it's unclear if rollbacks are reversible.
