Foundry Resources

Quick question - is there some way to build up a set of resources for foundry missions?

For example - if I want to have several missions in one system, and I create a colony space a ground map, is there a way to copy those maps to a new mission, or do I need to recreate them from scratch each time (be a bit of a pain, especially if there are recurring character costumes)?

Thanks...

    you can duplicate the mission and then modify it to the new story while retaining the costumes and maps

    I know of several authors that have kept a sort of template mission that retains various custom costumes for npcs

    Thanks, good to know.

    Just started playing with the Foundry, probably going to take some time getting used to it. I'll start with an easy one to get my legs in the system, I guess.

    Click the "Archived Projects" button. That will let you make a copy of an entire mission. You can then subtract anything you don't need.

    Excellent, that sorts that out. I hope to use a recurring environment, and this will do the trick!

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I've got some more new person questions over on the Foundry general discussion.
