Ok i feel like this is going to be one of those dumb questions so i will prepare for the immanent mocking.

I just bought FG2 and loving the look of it (using PCGen) for character Gen (can't afford Hero Lab atm) seem to be a good way to go. But when i started up a 3.5 campaign it was great and had all the lovely modules for weapons , skills , rules and basically everything. this is fantastic.

Though when i opened up the 4E campaign there is nothing in the modules except the tokens. am i missing something or has everyone had to and all the libraries for 4E themselves?

I'm really looking forward to learning and getting into this but addind all the information for 4E seems like i could be a mountain of a task. can someone let me know if i've missed something (Ultimate edition purchased)

Thanks in advance

Cero

I'm not a 4e player, but I think the issue is that with 3rd edition lots of the info is available through the OGL, and can be used as long as the OGL is adhered to.

The 4th edition has no such license. None of the rules in the 4th ed can be put into a lib module and provided for you. The community has developed a tool ( parser) that you can use to create your own modules if you have a DDI account. You sign onto Wotc web site and use the parser to scrape the info into moods you can use.

The best place to find how to use the parser is on the 4th ed forum. Hope that helps.
