Module Making

[GBE300]

Hi All,

Is there a check list or written procedure (steps) for making a module? I'm working on converting a lot of my old adventures into FG and while I have watched the videos and checked the wiki, I still don't feel like I wont forget a step.

Also, is it still necessary to export the module with tokens as a step before, just exporting the whole module ? I saw this in one of the videos but it almost seems redundant. I just don't want to have to repeat any steps or start over. Thanks.

Have you seen this video?

That was one of the better ones I've seen about it. I don't think there's any standard or checklist though, it's all whatever you want the module to be like.

Check out Xorn's excellent Tutorial Vids on the FG Wiki - the General Ones and the 4E ones on Campaign Management, Campaign Entry and Making Campaign Modules

For the record, several of Xorn's tutorials, while for 4e, are relevant to other Core-RPG-based rulesets.

What ruleset are you most interested in?

A lot of the basics are covered here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/di3nqy12089885k/Adventureaweek%20-%20FG%20conversion%20notes%20V3.pdf?dl=0 With also more specifics for 3.5E/Pathfinder.

FYI - The video linked in post #2 above is very specific to the 5E ruleset.

I've watched some of the 5e videos, as I am interested in making 5e modules. The parsing I have not looked at as I am not really too keen to try and figure out the parse tool. I will give a look at the video you linked and I will review the other links as well. Thanks for the help.

My main concern on making a module in 5e was one of the videos I watched (from the wiki) showed that you have to export the tokens first then re export them again with the module. I'll just have to go watch it again, I just feel confused on the process.

If the tokens are being used in something you export (NPC entry, encounter entry) then they will automatically be added to the module - no need to manually export each token, or if the token was in a token module a link to that module will be made.
