Greetings all, I don't know if this is possible and I haven't had any success searching for it... When I use a story template to randomly generate content or post combat loot, I would like the result to be automatically time stamped with the time it was generated... Is that possible???

Story Templates only produce story entries by taking output from rollable tables or of text that's in the template itself; so no. There's nothing in FG that would time stamp anything anyway. The only area would be the chatlog.html file in the campaign directory and that only records the time when a session starts.

UPDATE: this is now possible!

[Date:FORMAT] or [FGDate: FORMAT] will get you there :)
