Hi!

I know the question about printing in general has come up before, and I know it can't be easily done except for character sheets. That being said, two questions:

1) Will there be/are there any plans in the future to allow printing custom monsters created in FG, *OR*
2) Is there any standardized or simple means to create offline monsters in something printable (XML, XLS, Word, whatever) and import them into FG simply and seamlessly?

Thanks!

I doubt there ever will be the option to print anything out other than possibly character sheets. There isn't native support for a printing function and I understand that Unity doesn't have any native support for printing either, so it's unlikely that it will be possible even after the switch to Unity. There are also copyright issues; can't have people just printing out the MM and PHB (and I know you said custom monsters but how will FG know?)
I think the answer to your second question is no; but there is par5e (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?27297-Par5e).

You can import from PCGen.
