Swapping/Rotating GMs?
Hi, GM Burnout is a common TTRPG problem but with playing within the Suzerain meta-setting for SWADE, the many realms in the universe invite for great adventures that happen in the same campaign but in different styles. Perfect for swapping GMs.
Question:
What's the best way to handover the campaign materials (characters/locations/events/etc.) to another player to be the GM for a one-shot, without too much hassle/giving too much away?
Also on a technical point how easy is it to transfer campaigns to other users?-Ciaran

Copy the campaign folder to dropbox or similar to transfer it to someone else. Make sure to keep track of whom has the most recent version of the campaign. Safety copies are a good thing. It might also be a good idea to purge any stuff in the cache folder related to that campaign, depending on the ruleset.
It's really that simple. But that is for FGC. Don't know if there are weird stuff that breaks in FGU. Haven't tried it.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of FGU at the moment. There are too many dump UI decisions in that, for me to use it. So I cannot help you there. Just make sure to keep a copy of the campaign somewhere safe and just try it.
Just never ever move your FG campaign folder to a cloudserver. That never ever ends well!

One thing to keep in mind is that either whoever is the GM needs to have an ultimate license or everyone would need a standard license. Also if there are any rulebooks used then the new DM would need to use those as well.
