I'm currently running a campaign for Edge of the Empire and I am about to start a second one. I was wondering if there is a feature in the works that will allow me to duplicate items or content from within a realm and copy it to another realm? I don't want to use the same realm for both groups because I want to keep track of what they do separately.

At some point after the Content Market is available, you'll be able to reuse your realms much like purchased ones. (Sharing with yourself and/or duplicating them.)

+1 for this topic.

For some things I do not understand why you need the "market" to be implemented.
Your Realm has an ID that distinguish you. The feature should be available for content that you created.
Later on when there is a market, LoneWolf will just need to extend this check to Realms that you purchased and that allow to copy their content.

This is a good question. I would think it would be like duplicating a snippet or topic except that it's a realm.

I believe it is because the content market - when fully implemented - will allow you to have a master realm and child realms. Any changes in the master realm will be inherited by the child realms. Any changes in any of the child realms will stay there.

This way you can develop your master realm with history, NPCs, locations, monsters, plots and scenaries. These changes will also appear in your child realms.

This way you can run several parties through the same world but only make changes and additions to the world one place.

Well, as far as I have understood it. I might be far off the mark here, but I hope not.

So that is why it is not simply a matter of copying the realm as is.

This has to do with the GUID (Globally Unique IDentifier) associated with each of your realms... I suppose you could also call it a Realm Identifier (or RID). This is a database thing.

Anyway, when you create a realm you have to login and get a GUID for your realm. When you want to make a copy of an existing realm without just overwriting the existing realm, you need to generate a new GUID for that realm. Unfortunately for us, LWD isn't set up to do that right now. The content market will have to have this feature though and I'm sure once it's fully tested and had some polish applied, we will be able to use it.

My guess is you will at the minimum need to login and generate a new GUID for the copied realm. However I wouldn't be surprised if you have to upload your realm to their cloud service and then initiate the copy process which would download a copy of the realm with a newly generated GUID, giving you two different copies of the same realm.
