Good evening, all! So, I've been working on a conversion of the boardgame Roll Player into Fantasy Grounds. I can still clean it up a bit but work is crazy and I wanted to get this out to all of you to start playing and try to break it! Thanks to the White Dwarf and Rob2e for doing some QA for me. As I get time (hopefully this weekend) I'll do an in depth setup video on youtube.

Special thanks to Keith Matejka, the creator of Roll Player for agreeing to let me release this for free on Fantasy Grounds and providing me with all the digital assets for the conversion.

So, let's dive in. You will need all of the following to play Roll Player:

Latest version of MoreCore
Roll Player.mod file
Rollplayer Extension
Basic Card Deck Table extension
Roll Player Portrait.ppk file (for portraits)

The Roll Player.mod file is linked below in my dropbox folder (update to an Orangedox link just so I can track the # of downloads).
The .ppk file has portraits for the character sheets and needs to be loaded into your FG portrait folder
The Rollplayer extension (thanks, GM Wintermute!) which provides the theme which will serve as the "board" for the game. (attached to this post)
The Basic Card Deck Table extension which provides the simulation of card decks and dice bag needed for the game (attached to this post)

Remember that you need to download MoreCore (see link above) and that it is not automatically updated when you launch fantasy grounds. If you want the latest version you need to go to the link above and load the MoreCore ruleset.

Note that when the table loads, the theme will look a bit cut off and some of the areas are hidden behind the FG buttons/badges. Given this game for now is only the base Roll Player game and does not include the expansion Monster & Minions, you do not need to access those sections to play the game.

I will do a full setup video as soon as I have time for for now, when you load the module, please read the FG conversion notes story entry and the setup story entries. I left in the actual rules but also included notes on how to play the game within FG.

Please provide any feedback/suggestions in this thread so I can continue to improve this game. I think its in a good spot for folks to play and test. Here is a link to a very basic video (no sound) I created a few days ago to show a little of how to setup the game. I'll do a full video with sound soon. Note that when I created this video I hadn't created the character sheets so don't forget to load those as well!

I hope some of you can get enjoyment out of this. Its a fun game and I hope I did it some justice.

Trenloe, would you mind adding this post to the free community modules thread with a note that MoreCore is needed to play it? Thanks!

Thanks, Trenloe! Just FYI to all that read this thread I'm going to do my best to record a video tonight and post on youtube on setup and maybe a one round playthrough. If anyone ends up playing this I would love to hear any feedback you have. I've now converted two boardgames (this one and Map Maker) and I'm always curious if these get utilized. Would love to hear a "check in" just to know that someone used it. Thanks, all!

Sorry to necro this, but just curious. Has anyone played this? I've converted this and Map Maker into FG and just wondering if they get any use. Considering other games but wondering if folks ever check these out. Thanks in advance.

I just ordered Roll Player and I am sure I will use this once I have the game.
