Deleted all of my scenes - can I recover?

I did a boo-boo. I opened up an old room I've never really used and deleted all of my scenes, assuming that it was a test version of my other room. I didn't realize that the scenes were shared, nor did I read the perfectly clear warning.

Is there a way to get my scenes back after deleting them?

A map for Lair of the Lamb

I'm getting ready to run Lair of the Lamb and ended up making my own map. Thought others might be able to use it as well.

Lair of the Lamb is by Arnold Kemp. This map is by me, a fan on the Internet.

If anyone checks it out and spots an error, let me know!

Edit: png files in a comment might be clearer.

What about combining VTT fog with player mapping?

I had an idea and I wonder if anyone here has tried it before. For my table, player mapping hasn't worked well. Nobody really wants the burden. When we tried it, it consumed too much time for too little payoff. We tried switching to flowchart style node maps, and that was easier but not evocative. They weren't fun to look at, and the players struggled to interpret them later. So we ended up using a VTT and revealing areas one by one manually. That gives the players something to engage with, but it's a little slow to make several clicks on the map while I'm trying to describe a room. So, fine but not ideal. And there's something sort of sterile about looking at the revealed map.

Now I'm thinking: what if we used a VTT and dynamic lighting to show what's within their light radius only. Then one player outlines the room and makes any notes right on the VTT. When they leave, they have the drawn map of that room.

Might be a weird hybrid, but I wonder if it would be quick enough and give us the satisfaction of a player map. It might be closer to actual mapping in a way - current information is obvious and visual, rather than trying to interpret a spoken description, but the result is still a drawn map.

Has anyone tried something like that?
