Once I buy a module online for FG, is there a way to download it or print it to read offline?

No. Just within FG. I suppose you could screenshot things and print that out but yikes on the ink costs.

Welcome to the forum, Pint!

No you cannot print purchased modules, unless what you buy is a Paizo PF module. Then you get the PDF with it for free, and you can print the PDF.

You don't have to be connected to the internet to access it inside Fantasy Grounds, only for the initial download. However there is no way to read it outside of the Fantasy Grounds program, or print off it's content, no.


Also, welcome to the forums

Thanks folks. Was hoping to have a way to NOT have to read all the the Tomb of Annihilation on a computer monitor and without having to buy it twice. Meh.

Not the answer I was hoping for, but I appreciate the help!

You can read it all on FG. That's how I read it. You go into the Reference Manual Section. It looks like this;
20892
It's not a PDF, you have to open FG and then go open up the Ref Man, but it's totally readable. It has the images, next page tabs, etc. You can use the chat command /scaleui (or an extension) if you want the font larger etc.

You can read a review of it here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/entry.php?300-Tomb-of-Annihilation-by-Wizard-of-the-Coast).

Meh, I left out a 'not', d'oh!! I am not good at reading things on monitors, and that's a lot of reading. So I want to have a paper copy to read, and I can just run the game on the computer. Very sorry about the confusion lol!

I wonder if it is still good looking if you print out all the .XML ;) (and then try to sort it....)
