I own FG, and the Savage Worlds V3 ruleset...I also own Metacreator and the SW pack for that.

I BELIEVE that Metacreator lets you export characters in some kind of text format.

I think that entering characters in FG is like pulling teeth...is there any way to take an easily generated character from Metacreator, and get it into FG? I think there's a text output option.

Someone would have to write an export template for Metacreator which bundled the character up in the xml schema used by Fantasy Grounds, and then a separate utility to insert that xml into FG's campaign data file.

I did this for the GURPS character assistand. The export language there was VBasic, but the principle was the same.

Thanks, Spyke...since I'm not a programmer, I guess the answer is 'no', unless/until I can convince the Metacreator...um...creator...to build such a thing.

Thanks again,
JT
