Learning resources for creating new rule sets

[HoratioDrank]

Hi all.

Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation that contains the information I would need to create a new rules set on FG? I'm a software developer by trade, so technical documentation is perfectly acceptable.

Thanks!

This is where you need to start (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Developer_Guides). I'm not a professional coder, but between that, the practical examples of the code in the rulesets and extensions already existing and the help of some cool friends, that was enough.

You'll want to layer your ruleset on top of CoreRPG - 5E, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu, etc. are all layered rulesets that run on top of CoreRPG - you can look at that code for examples, but it can be quite complex to get to grips with initially. MoreCore is a good example of a less complex ruleset layered on top of CoreRPG.
