Community Suggestion: Allow characters to be in multiple campaigns
Allow characters to be in multiple campaigns

campaign character multiple management party
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
At the moment, characters are only allowed to be in one campaign at any given time. This works for the traditional "by the books" adventures, but for ongoing, open-world, and West Marches style campaigns, this can create issues. In theory, I could expel a returning character from a previous campaign, but that isn't user-friendly, and removes them from that campaign and any management features related to it, like parties.How does this feature request address the current situation?
By allowing characters to be in multiple campaigns, the system gains flexibility and prevents tedious husywork.What are other uses for this feature request?
It simplifies the onboarding process for returning players, or players who like to use the same characters with multiple campaigns/game masters, possibly encouraging them to use WorldAnvil more, as they can keep building upon their original character's pages.The Team's Response
Thanks for your suggestion! This is decliner for technical reasons, although there are planned updates to the campaign manager that should make running campaigns, including West Marches, smoother. In the meantime, we recommend having a single campaign with multiple parties, since characters can be in multiple parties within the same campaign.
