Hi everyone,

I have Gangbuster's 3rd edition which I would love to run (A new version of Gangbusters is going to be brought out in the near future) and I was wondering if
anyone would be willing to create ruleset for Gangbusters 3rd edition for Fantasy Grounds so I can run it.

I could run in on Roll20 but I prefer Fantasy Grounds as my VTT of choice. I would even be willing to throw some money your way if it would help.

Anyone interested?

Rather than looking for a specific ruleset for it to be made, have you considered looking at MoreCore? It's fairly easy to make a theme extension for it and then it's flexible enough to make the character sheet in MC itself. MC probably already has the rolls you need, but you can investigate that as well and if you do need a custom die roll, people will help you figure it out.

I am not good with making themes that's why I was offering to throw some money someone's way if they would make it

A ruleset is different (and much harder) than a theme extension :)

There are some folks around who might be willing to do a theme extension, not sure who though :(

Depending upon how soon you want to play etc, you should try MoreCore, make a character sheet and set things up and see if you can do the rolls you need etc. When you can't get where you want, then you can ask more questions etc. Also, it would give you some time to see if anyone is willing to do a theme extension. (though if you want to try the theme extension yourself, people will help.)

Since I can't do that I will either see if someone else will do it or just play Gangbusters on Roll20 and everything else here

Use MoreCore. What are the dice rolling mechanics that Gang Busters uses?

It's percentile dice for the most part. I just want to get it set up so it has the Gangbusters look and feel, not just some generic table.

You can use the Desktop decal extension (I think you can download it from theFG Con site). And you can use /lighting command to vary the back collor. Just that allows you to chenge the mood & feel a lot.

Ok I downloaded the customer decal extension. How do you use it?

Ok, So I have MoreCore installed and up and running and I am going to work on trying to get the character sheets right (which I will need help with) and figuring out the custom decal extension

The most important thing to determine is the correct Rolls and roll syntax.
Eg if its a roll under % system probably you just do:

Strength 45
/sthrow 1d100<45

If there are Modifiers/Bonuses that make things easier you would use a negative number in this case and a positive for ones that make things harder.

Easy
/mod -10

Very Easy
/mod -20

Hard
/mod 10

Very Hard
/mod 20

And you would click all the mod Rolls and then click the skill/attribute Roll
