So I just learned about this, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/350683997/creature-codex-5th-edition-monsters-including-comm

Reading through it there is mention of an FG version. But it sounds like it will not be worked on until after the KS finishes (I don't see FG available in any of the pledges other). Is that what others understand as well?

Are you done yet?

Am I right in assuming it is not available as part of the KS but will be available in the store sometime after release?

Ya, in my MIND I'm done!

Yes, it'll be separate from the KS. I won't even receive the materials until June.

So then if you want it for FG you should just skip the kickstarter unless you want to generate your own FG module using Par5e and not have the official module. At least that is what I am hearing.

It really is a bummer that you can't get the pdf and the fg module together for all of these books. I guess it becomes less of an issue if FG ever gets an android and iOS version and you can access all your Module reference manuals there. At least for me since that is what I do my PDF reading on.

Rob is on it, perhaps very 'soon, as he does not stop until its done... He is fairly quick. Maybe three weeks or less? Needs to be approved and all the logistics too

rob please don't die... We would be lost without all your amazing projects. I don't know how you and people like Zacchaeus find the hours in the day but I am glad you do! Look forward to this releasing!

I don't PLAN on dying. I'm 50%+ through Creature Codex. I do however eat, sleep, and other such life activities. Zacchaeus on the other hand... I don't think he sleeps, eats, or does anything else but code FG WotC adventures, make maps, and hang out on the forums. I've done the math, it doesn't work out. But I do use imperial measurments rather than the world standard of metrics. He does VAPE however. Maybe that's where the stamina comes from?

It has to be the Vape... He is slowling becoming lich-like through the vapors!

Out of curiosity, is someone working on the Midgard Worldbook and the Heroes Handbook from Kobold Press too? Looking forward to the Creature Codex when it drops!

I wouldn't be surprised if rob2e isn't working on all of them simultaneously.

Nope, not me. My experience of Kobold Press is that the stuff which appears in FG usually relate to Kickstarters. There's quite a few products out there that they've done that FG doesn't seen to get permission to convert.

According to KP, the Midgard stuff was approved. If not, I will bug Wolfgang about it some more. I would much rather pay for it than have to do it myself.

I prefer the term, "encourage" over "bugging". It at least makes me feel better about myself. :P

Those are both on the "Developer claimed" list, so someone is working on them. Not me.

It's finished. It's just waiting for approval (from Steam). Once it ventures through the approval process, it will go live in the store for Fantasy Grounds and Steam.

...and stay tuned for Creature Codex Lairs!
