Good morning, class! Now that you can place props (placeables), and fine-tune them, it's time to learn how to save a "set" of props. Many DMs have spent sometimes over an hour on setting a stage, only to have a server crash or reboot wipe out all their work. By using a Stage Manager widget, you can save a set to be recalled later. Now, let's get to work, shall we? First, you need a DM Stage Manager widget. Does anyone know where to find one? You, with your hand in the air, going "Ooooo, ooooo!"

Ummm... in the Creator, under Item, Custom, * CEP 2.1 Custom Palette, DMFI/C.R.A.P. Tools, DM Tools.

Very good! Now, everyone get a Stage Manager, and we'll continue. Each Stage Manager widget stores the data needed for one set of props. If you want to save another set of props, you need another Stage Manager - but there's no need to get more than one from the palette. Let's take a look at the menus.

This is the menu that appears when there are no props stored on the widget. See option 3? A DM can create a blank widget at any time.

Option 1, Add a prop to the set, is where you will you select which placeables you wish to save.

Okay class, time for another field trip!Bring your widgets, and we'll get some hands-on practice... Yes?

May I use the restroom first?

*sigh* Down the hall, but hurry up! The airship captain doesn't like to wait.
