Lost data
![CB](https://icrontic.com/uploads/userpics/684/nHP2YRPWOBR8V.png)
I just realized that my recent computer trouble caused me to lose all of my FG data. I had been backing it up regularly, but the drive I was backing it up onto was also lost.
I still have all of my graphics and external documents, of course, but anything that I typed directly into Fantasy Grounds (PCs, NPCs, shops, cities, and quest descriptions) is gone, and the last copy I have of it is the one I put on My laptop in June to play at Epic. That's one level back for the PCs, so re-leveling them wont really be a big deal, and I think Drew has all of his info about Melixa written out somewhere else. Some stuff, we'll just have to try to remember.
The biggest thing lost is all of the documents about The Isles of The Fallen: Tavern discussions, quests, NPCs, it's all gone, and we can't play without out it.
The campaign is on hold until I reconstruct the lost data.

Even so, I would give all the standard programs a shot... TestDisk, GetDataBack, Recuva. One of them might come up with something usable.
Try the trial. If it can find it, it'll tell you; then you have to pay.
The problem is: It's $79
The question becomes: is your time worth more than $79.
This makes WalkingStick a sad clericranger
I think it was just too close to the beginning of the drive, since it was one of the first things I installed last time I reformatted.
I have a lot of work to do to get it recreated, and with the other work I'm supposed to be doing (I'm supposed to have a novel written by April, and I have barely begun) it might be slow going, but I'll keep you posted.

Each of you should do this. It shouldn't be too difficult to remember what you bought in Faith, since that was just this week, and other than Brain's News, that's the only place you did any shopping since Flai.
Ugh.
Anyway, I am think I bought something in Faith, but if I did I completely forget what it was. I'd have to see the Magical Circus list again to remember. I either have 50 gold and 800 or 600-something platinum, depending on whether I bought whatever it was.

It's 100 MB so there's got to be something in there. Trouble is, it's in some kind of binary data format.

Sounds like you may be on to something.
If that works, that'll be a big help. Someone give it a try and report back.
Let me know when you each have done that.
In the mean-time, I'm giving myself a two-week deadline to get this campaign playable again. I remembered that I've got fall break from school next week, so that should help me to find the time.
