Hi people,
I'm really interested in getting Fantasy Grounds...I only have Webrpg atm and it's just a bit boring to look at I guess, plus FG has awesome features.
Anyway, my problem is that although I normally play D20, I was planning on running a GURPS Deadlands campaign and thus need to extensively modify the existing system on FG. After reading numerous posts on the subject of modification I am beginning to look a little bit like this guy ---> :shock:
So, my question is, assuming that I'm probably not going to do anything too fancy to my character sheets and so on, is there some easy way to edit/create xml...like through FrontPage can I just type in whatever and make little boxes and tables and stuff and it will magically work somehow? I work full-time and travel and hour to and from work, so I basically only have weekends and one or two hours a night on weekdays to do stuff...and the complexity of the task as stated in those other posts seems to suggest it would take a n00b like me approximately 10 years to get anything to work.
Can someone please reassure me somehow before I spend my hard earned $40 (plus some for exchange rate from Australian dollars, damnit) and then find out that I've got a snowball's chance in hell of getting a GURPS system to work :P
I'll probably make an impulse buy anyway, but a well-informed impulse buy would make me sleep easier :wink:
Cheers,

If the world made sense, guys would be the ones riding side-saddle.
