Campaign Manager - Phase 1​

With the release comes the first phase of the Campaign Manager. You can now:

  • Create Campaigns.
  • Add player creations (characters, creature companions, starships, mechs, vehicles and NPCs) to a Campaign.
  • Restrict sources for all creations in a Campaign.
  • Add homebrew which will be available to all creations in a Campaign.
  • Have a dashboard to quickly see stats for all creations in a Campaign.

When I first mentioned I was working on the Campaign Manager a few release posts back, I got suggestions around having some sort of item sharing capabilities. These matched some ideas of my own, so that's what I'll be working on for Phase 2. However, before we get there I'd like to refine what we already have, so give the campaign manager a go and let me know what you think. I also want specific feedback about the dashboard: what stats would be helpful to see there? is there any other functionality that would make it more useful for you? and so on.

Importing Into Hephaistos​

One feature request that comes up frequently is importing characters, starships etc. back into Hephaistos. The current JSON export is designed to support Foundry and Roll20, and so, doesn't have the correct information to be able to import it back into Hephaistos. Before I start thinking about implementation or adding it to the Feature Voting page, I'd like to understand the use-cases people have for this feature. Broadly speaking, there seem to be two reasons for importing into Hephaistos:

  • Backup and restore/transfer characters: This is the easier of the two use-cases, since only Hephaistos needs to know about the inner workings of the "backup" file.
  • Import characters from VTTs: This is the harder use-case to implement, since Hephaistos will need to interpret each of the different VTTs' export formats.

If you're someone who would like to see this feature implemented, please let me know what your use-case is (one of the two above, or something else).
