Does purchased modules come with written rules?

[Lypse]

If I purchase a module for Fantasy Grounds, do I get the book/pdf? Or it it just database unlocks that are received?

(Answered below - Thanks!)

You do not get a book or PDF with a purchase through FG store. The content you receive is in a format only viewable through the FG program for copy right reason.

edit: as Talyn mentioned - It would state in the product IF a PDF option would be available in the purchase - an probably more so in the DMsGuild or non FG store.

Not usually. You're purchasing DLC which will download (hence the "D") to your computer. I've only seen a few DLC ever that came with a PDF, and those specifically stated in the store description that a PDF was included. Since you're posting in the 5E forum just be advised Wizards of the Coast does not produce PDFs of any of their core books or campaigns. Other than the D&D Basic Rules PDFs, they pretty much only sanction PDFs for Adventure League or DMs Guild content.

Most of the products in the FG store do not come with anything outside of the Fantasy Grounds module. The main exception to this is official Paizo products (Pathfinder and Starfinder) - where you sync your purchases with Paizo.com and either get a PDF on Paizo.com as part of your FG purchase, or if you already have the PDF in Paizo.com you get your FG purchase reduced by the cost of that PDF.

I do find that pretty much all the information is presented just in a story format. Once you get used to reading that you have all the same stuff but ready to play as well.
