I have somehow saved over my campaign with the blank Grasslands map that Maptool always opens on. The original campaign file has been completely overwritten.
Is there a way to recover the original file? Or is everything gone forever?

Re: Recovering a Previous Campaign Save File?
You can check the backup folder C:\Users\[user]\.maptool-rptools\backup. I highly recommend doing progressive saves in the future. I usually load my campaign then save it with a new name, usually the date.

Re: Recovering a Previous Campaign Save File?
I'm always shocked by how many users exclusively save over their campaign file... leading to situations like this.
A FREQ should be put in to default append the time and date to any save file.
